I shave under arms and legs. Under-arms because I'm never frequent enough to the waxer to keep it down and it's also quick and easy (once a week or so). Legs because I have so little hair growing on them that you'd be going to find the hair to wax it (every few months, seriously). It's fine and fair.
I wax my pubic region. Removes it better, doesn't grow back as quickly and lasts longer. And I can get around to it when I need to (about every six weeks). I've also used a spray and then serum from the waxer to make the hair grow back even slower which must be working. I never DIY wax. Sometimes I go the whole hog and get a brazillian and there's no way I can twist myself or see everywhere that has hair that needs to be removed. It's not expensive to just get a bikini wax either and I have no idea how to do it.

Do you use different "techniques" for different areas? Ie shave your pubic region and wax your legs? If so, why?
Nup. Wax everything. The only time a razor's been anywhere near me in the last 15 years is in an energency only.
If you use wax, same questions...
Don't get a *****ly feeling and no longer get ingrowns, which is great. Regrowth is about 5-6 weeks.
If you use wax, do you DIY or pay someone?
Pay someone. I'm can't do that to myself, I'm too big a sook. I'd pay about $140 every month for full leg, brazilian, underarm and brow. I used to pay $55 for a brow specialist but it's too exxy to keep up.
If you can afford it, I recommend laser/IPL. I had 3 sessions on underarm and brazilian and it thinned things out really well. I went to a cosmetic medical centre in the CBD and it cost about $285 a go plus $75 for the topical anaesthetic cream (Elna). It is expensive but very worth it.
