Hair removal and razor burn

What is the best chemical-free or natural way of shaving? I use an electric razor and it kills my neck, gives me bad razor burn. I'm also a hairy guy and would love to have most of my body hair removed permanently. Not sure which route is best for my health, laser or electrolysis...

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I hear those old safety razors work best.

Have you tried using a good old-fashioned straight razor?You don't have to use foam or anything, you just to make sure both the blade and the hair on your face have been prepared with hot water.

I am currently using a single blade bic and water for my whole body, when I'm done I put on a a nice coat of coconut oil. Still having issues with ingrown hair, but haven't been true to 811 either. I am simply a work in progess.

How bad is the hair on your body?? I personally believe that hair on a man makes him more "manly", or something like that. It is just weird to see these men with totally smooth skin. Also, I just don't think that even a small amount of stubble would be very nice either. =)

My hubby always had a mustache. Then one day he shaved it off for about a year. Now he sports a goatee and I have decided that I like it much better, even though he is getting a tad older and is now running salt and pepper. Perhaps it is a cultural thing though (maybe my age).

@AdamX

I tried that for awhile. Probably the most ecological way to go however it's not the quickest that's for sure.

Shaving or not shaving.. either way humans arn't natural. We all wear clothes and live inside most of our lives so it's not like we need it to protect us from anything. So I just shave because of the cultural reasons. I wanna try a permament hair removal sometime. I sometimes, like 3 times a year, get ingrown hairs. And I usually always get a little razor burn. I use the schick intuition, but it's kinda for girls.
