Hell if I know.
A full wax like that has lots of drawbacks. Ingrown hairs, itches like hell, hurts like hell.
Put on a guard and shave it down to 1/4 inch and you can get quick, cheap, and miss all those drawbacks.
As long as you put on the stuff they give you everyday after you shower, you should be good with the ingrown hairs. And the growing back is not NEARLY as bad as if you shaved--talk about ingrown hairs. Plus, it's nice being completely smooth--I have very sensitive skin, and that's not only applied to my face/legs.
Well a complete shave is pretty bad, but a close trim isn't at all.
In fact, the problems from shaving mostly come from irritation. Try using a good aloe vera heavy shave lotion and don't go over the spot too many times.
Clippers with a guard for the larger areas, and a personal trimmer of the same length is a deadly efficient combo. It is such a smooth cut that if you are skilled you don't even need a lotion and get no irritation.
edit: Oh and the expense of a wax is just ridiculous in my opinion, compared to a nice trim. But I'm not one to tell anybody how to spend their money.
