I shave just my lower legs, from my knees down. My thighs are covered with really fine short blond hair that's barely noticeable so I rarely bother messing with it. Definately shave my pits. It's icky dark black there. I have tried depilitory creams and I've tried waxing on my legs. Waxing was so incredibly painful and my hair didn't all come out even. The creams, even for sensitive skin, and even when used for less than the recommended minimum time limit caused me burning. Half of my leg was red and looked almost blistered (it wasn't just inflamed) for 2 days. I can't handle creams. I shave and have gotten really good at it. I usually only nick myself once every couple months or even just a couple times a year. I make sure I use a quality straight razor with disposible blades (not the cheap whole disposible razors) and I change the blades about every 3 full body shaves (or more often) to keep it sharp. The sharper it is, and the fewer times you go over the same area the better the shave and less irritation or ingrown hairs even. I also use an exfoliant in between shaves to keep things from getting ingrown. I don't have too much trouble with ingrown hairs since I started that.
