Epilation waxing shaving laser hair removal creams... which one works best for you?

When the weather is like this (i.e. glorious) there's really no choice but to get rid of the fur. Unless you want to do a Julia Roberts in your sleeveless tops, or a convincing impression of a cavemen in a skirt that is

My cats have thick coats and they've just been so hot in the last few days. Short of coming at them with a Venus - and I can guess who would come off worse in such an encounter - they will just have to stick with their usual coping strategies of lying in the shade and drinking lots of water.

But we can shed our fur thank god. And hopefully we don't have such a thick pelt either.

I'm going for epilating (beware of the dreaded ingrown hair hell though) and shaving. What about you? Is it waxing, laser (read this guide) or (gulp) hair removal creams?
