i'm lucky enough to not be very hair at any time, I'm normally a waxer but my pubes fell out (all bar a few stray long ones!) before my head-hair did, my leg hair still grew, as did my underarm hair - I've shaved once since and it doesn't seem to be growing very fast at least, and is fine enough for me to not have to worry too much. Luckily I have a partner who couldn't care less if i de-fuzz or not... he does wish my head-hair would hurry up & grow though... and so do i.
With the shaving, i just took it really careful under my affected arm as it's all still quite numb there, and I used sorboline cream instead of soap with a disposable razor.
My current income doesn't stretch to getting my waxing done at the moment, but once i'm back working it will be back to once a month waxes for me!
Best of luck with your deforestation!
