First of all, shaving does NOT make hair grow back thicker. That is an old wives' tale. Your arm has a certain number of hair follicles, and there will never be more.
For the short term, try the different creams - Veet, Nair, etc. Start out with the gentlest formula and follow the directions. The hair should dissolve and wash off in the shower after a few minutes.
If you can afford it, get waxed at a salon.
For the long term, look into laser treatments. It usually takes a few rounds and a few hundred dollars, but your hair can be permanently removed. My friend did this on her chest, underarms and bikini area, as she had very coarse hair that easily become ingrown when she tried to pluck it or shave it.

EXTRA STRENGTH all-over hair removal kit brazilian formula sally hensen- this is the only wax that has worked for me and the hair starts to grow less the more you use it . for arms it doesn't hurt that much but taking a tylenol thirty min. before is a good idea and the bonus is that the hair doesn't grow back for at least three weeks which is a good thing for arms because the short regrowth stick up straight. But if you use a tanning spray it takes the spray off not sure about what it will do to a natural tann as my skin doesn't tan with the sun.

Short of laser hair removal or electrolyses I think it’s waxing. I have also tried liquid hair removers like Nair and shaving with a razor but shaving lasts the shortest amount of time. I have taken 4 friends to get various places waxed and I always suggest that if you are going to try waxing for the first time that you take at lest two of your favorite pain killers AN HOUR before you get it done.

If you have the cash to spare, please go for IPL (Intense Pulsed Light). It uses light energy to deactivate the growth of hair from the roots.
IPL is most suitable for light-coloured people because it is easier to penetrate into the root of the hair. Hair grows out finer, lesser and you do not have to worry about stubs which shaving leaves you.
Waxing is a cheaper alternative but it sucks when the hair grows back short and all over the place unevenly. You got to do it over and over again and it's time consuming.
IPL removes your hair permanently and leaves your skin smooth without stubs or open pores. I've done it to my arms and legs and I love it.

You will require about 6-8 sessions to fully disable hair growth and also, for optimal results.

Hair removal in the hands, legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, face, and eyebrows are commonly practiced these days. Sports persons go for hair removal since it will cut down the wind resistance and improve their competitive speeds. There is a report saying that hair removal salons are getting more and more men customers for removing hair.
Different devices are used for hair removal in different parts of the body. Waxing, sugaring, and electrolysis are the most preferred methods for permanent body hair removal. Laser treatments are also used for permanent body hair removal. Waxing is a method of hair removal in which wax is applied over the hairs and then a cotton strip is rubbed on the wax in the direction of the hair growth.
Waxing and sugaring are done for male body hair removal. Waxing removes the hairs from the roots and hence the regrowth of hairs in the removed area takes between 6 to 8 weeks. After hair removal through waxing even if the hair grows it is thinner and is sparser in the area. There are not many hairs in that area. Upon further hair removal the hair may go off permanently. Usage of a hair growth inhibitor after male body hair removal through waxing is usually done to reduce the growth of hairs in that area.
Then the cotton strip is removed in the opposite direction of the hair growth for permanent body hair removal. Sugaring is also a method that is used for hair removal permanently. The difference is the sugar paste instead of wax for removal. Whether a person is using waxing or sugaring he is advised to use a hair growth inhibitor after the removal of hairs to prevent hair growth or to slow down the growth of hairs.
Most of the sports persons who are involved in the sports like swimming and cycling opt for permanent body hair removal, since permanent body hair removal would improve their speeds by reducing the air friction. There are many devices that are used for permanent body hair removal. Each device comes with its own functionality and ease of use with a price tag that is affordable.
Electrolysis and Laser treatments remove the hairs permanently from the skin. In these methods the hair follicle is destroyed so that the hair does not grow again. Electrolysis method uses needles to supply electric current to the hair follicles. This electric current creates some chemical changes or generates heat to destroy the hair follicles. In Laser treatment the laser beams are directed towards the hair follicles to destroy it. Laser treatments are costly when compared to other methods of hair removal.

Laser hair removal is an option if you're willing to take it to that extreme.
