Wax vs shave

I want to get a Brazilian wax but I’m terrified of the pain. I always shave but it’s never a clean shave and my skin doesn’t handle it well at all. Always red, burning, itching. But if I get a Brazilian then I have to let the hair grow out to get it done again, so I mean yeah i bet it’s nice having it smooth down there for weeks at a time but once it grows back so I’m just not sure if it’s worth it since I want it gone all the time. I wish I could do laser hair removal but that costs way too much. Any suggestions?
