My only hint is, whatever sort of way you shave, wet or electric, be sure to use a razor designed for men because it's designed to deal with male-type beard growth rather than leg and underarm hair.

You've been shaving since you were 13 ? Has your doctor checked you for other conditions as well ? PCOS is not the only thing that can cause hirsutism, as I'm now learning myself.
