I have always waxed my lower legs as my mom has always told me not to shave as the hair will come in thicker and darker. A friend of mine convinced me otherwise, and so one day, I decided to shave a little of the inside of my lower left leg (about a four inch length and width of the shaveer). Boy!! Have I regretted doing that ever since. It's been ten years but on that 4-inch strip of skin, the hair has always grown back thick & stubbly; whereas every hair around it is soft and fine. So, in my opinion, I would definitely not shave, especially not my face.
