LOL, that might work, but be careful.
As I grow older, I realize that I just grow too much hair all over, so I like to ?start fresh? every so often.
I recently tried a product called Magic Cream Shave, Razorless Beard Remover (Regular) from the hair care section of Wallgreen's. (I'd think any urban or suburban drug store should carry it.) It's a cream that you apply to the skin and then wash off with a washcloth in the shower 10 minutes later. All the hair is dissolved or something. (I'm not a chemist, I don't know exactly how it works, but it does.)
The label says it's formulated for black men, but that really just means sensitive skin. It doesn't go into the root, so hair grows back as fast as with shaving, but it's probably not as rough. Irritation was minimal for me. I've even put it on the nads and the taint,

but not for a long time. Yikes, was I scared it would burn. I'm pleased to say that it didn't burn really at all, and it worked!
