Shaving
Yes the most obvious hair removal method. I'm sure you know all about it so don't need to explain what it is :p
It's nice and cheap and fast. But it's probably the least effective. This is because the hair follicles are simply chopped off at the skin level. So they start growing back nearly straight away.
This is the main downfall. The hair just comes back so quickly. Another problem is the irritation it causes to the skin. Sometimes (depending on your skin type) you can get some really bad irritation. This has an effect on some people more than others. It especially depends on the area of the body you're getting done.
Have a look at this wikihow article for info on how to reduce irritation.
But shaving is just so fast and convenient! When you need to get hair removal done quickly it's certainly a good option. Buying a good electric shaver can make things go even faster. It also means it's less messy because you don't need to apply gel or creams. It really can be a 5 minute job if you get fast enough.
Overall shaving is a good plan B method. Or a good last minute hair removal method. We'll all do it at some time or another. But if we want to look really good, or save time, then it's certainly not the best choice. Next we'll look at waxing. A very good treatment which has many advantages over shaving.
But shaving, unlike the other methods, will nearly always have a place in your hair removal routine.
