How do y'all deal with chest hair?

I've been on hrt for a couple of months and one of the hardest things I've had to deal with is my light skin + dark body hair. While I'm not out to the world yet it'd be nice to have a smooth chest without short, visible hairs after shaving, which leads to my question. Have any of you dealt with this and found someway to at least hide body hair stubble?

Lazer!
I personally use an at-home Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) hair removal device. Wirks great for dark hair on light skin. But it is a costly device. A regular compact epilator is also a good chraper option. I use it on my facial hair
Epilator works well, but it's kind of painful
- I've had an epilator for a while, but with how epilating only cut the hair on my legs rather than plucking it I'm a little concerned about what it'll do to my chest. Any specific prep I should do?
  
  It can take some practice. It works best if the hair is already short, like 2-3 days after shaving
