Wax do not shave. I had a woman tell me that her doctor told her that shaving doesn't make hair thicker and I believed her! I wish I had never listened. I use to wax regularly until she told me this. Now my hair is thicker and coarser and I hate it! There is more hair there now too.
If I had just kept on waxing it wouldn't have gotten any worse. So pleae do not shave anywhere near your face.
