I had a persistant fungal infection and eventually had the nail permanently removed. Nirvana achieved...

Actually you could probably use a LASIK machine to get rid of an ingrown toe nail, just program it as required to fire at all precise points, set the dial to 11 and fire! Just make sure to set the dial back to 1 when you're done.

Failing that, a CNC water jet machine should do the trick.

In college I had a manager tell me that he "shaved" using a lighter when he was younger and claimed that it lasted a lot longer. He did it because he hated having to shave every day while in the army.
