Femmy,
A toughie that one and one I think we have all thought about at one time or another.
Me I use a good razor, Gillette Mach 3 Turbo, and a good shaving oil, King of Shaves, when I wet shave. Taking your time and shaving after the shower gives a good close shave. I know they say not to but I find going against the grain helps get a really really smooth shave. Downside is you do tend to nick yourself more. To stop the bleeds use an alum stone or Styptic Pencil and let your face rest.
I then use a moisturiser that also helps slow down the regrowth, Roc's Soya Epil Control, which does actually make shaving easier and slows down shadow growth.
I use a good foundation matched to my skin tone with a concealer underneath. For the beard area I have started using ColorTration concealing foundation and this works realy well and doesn't rub off.
For days when I don't wet shave I use a good quality electric razor, Braun something or other, and have found that it can give me as close a shave as needed for a normal day rather than a going out on the town day. Again moisturise afterwards.
And I do pluck out a few errant hairs and have done my top lip from time to time, recommend a bottle of red wine to dull the pain though. And yes regrowth is less. I've noticed my top lip actually regrows with more blonde hair than dark which is a bonus.
I would suggest you give your face one day a week off to allow it to recover a little, so maybe have a slob around the house day on Sunday.
Hope that helps and good luck,, let us know what happens.
