 Why not use hair removal cream? No pain at all. cheap. and it doesn't grow back prickly. i always use hair removal. and honesty im sure ur bf doesn't care half as much as u do.

 I much prefer having it waxed... (yes all of it) it lasts longer and the longer you do it the less hair you have...
yes there are times you have a bit of hair but it will be 1/4 of an inch at the longest.
there is an expense there but if you learn to wax it yourself (a feat I could do for legs but never a Brazilian) then you can save a bit.

If you want it to be smooth for days then the razor is not the way to go. I finally gave up shaving because I couldn't stand the knicks, the itchiness, razor burn, and the stubble. So I started sugaring.
It's an alternative to wax. Wax can adhere to your skin and rip live skin off. Sugaring is usually just made of sugar, lime juice, and some other stuff. I go to a lady that only does sugaring (I guess it's just starting to gain popularity) and when she removes the hair, instead of removing the hair against the grain, it's removed in the same direction of hair growth. It's also supposedly less painful (I haven't tried waxing "down there" before) but it still hurts! It also only adheres to the hair and only removed dead skin cells.
Trimming is also an option and keeps it looking neater and not so overgrown. Just don't use scissors because you can easily cut yourself.

 Why not just trim it? You are allowed to have hair there you know. If your boyfriend is so set on you being hairless I wonder when the last time he did the same for you was?
