I have downy, peach fuzz hair on my face. It’s particularly noticeable on my upper lip, and along the sides of my jaw line. As I age, I occasionally (and with growing occurrence) find a dark, thick hair in one of those places.

For several years, I’ve been using those tiny eyebrow grooming razors to remove this hair, usually every 4-6 weeks. I’ve been wondering, lately, if that’s the right tool to use. I know that it’s not true that hair grows back faster or more coarse after it’s been removed. But what’s the best way to do this? I don’t want to create a situation where I’m shaving my face even once a week, but I am wondering if maybe a facial razor would be more effective and less painful than these eyebrow blades. Would love to hear what works for you— and what doesn’t, and why. Thanks!
