"...the myth is that it grows back coarser and darker."
not a myth.
here is why:
1. the unshaven hairs are longer and more flexible. the shaved hairs are short and stubby.
2. the unshaven hairs have had time to bleach in the sun. the regrowth will show a darker color.
Your face? They make those little personal pencil sized battery shaver. I saw a add for what looked like a small version of men's straight razor that touted being a exfoliater. One woman on one of the reality TV shows on Bravo confessed the she regularly shaved face with a men's razor to remove peach fuzz and makeup is easier to apply.
So I confess, I have started shaving every few months and it works great. It's a myth that you will grow a beard if you shave.

Miniscule and next to unnoticeable differences in fineness and darkness makes them virtually myths and so can be disregarded. And even though I'm a brunette my peach fuzz is completely blonde - only place on my body where the hair is blonde.
Believe me, "short and stubby" peach fuzz is pretty danged flexible. Nobody's feeling my face or looking THAT closely that I'm concerned they'll notice my stubby peach fuzz! So yeah, shave if you want. You don't need some fancy special razor though.
Okay, but it's peach fuzz. It's not noticeable and it doesn't bother me one bit. Or is this yet another thing about my body that I need to be self-conscious about?
