I think it's a myth that shaving makes the hair grow more. I believe it's a tertiary effect:
1) Between the ages of 15 and 18 you start shaving.
2) Between the ages of 15 and 18 the hair you are shaving naturally grows in thicker and darker.
3) We wrongly associate the change with shaving instead of aging.
I could be wrong. I suppose a good way to test would be to shave a spot on your arm for a while and see if, over time, that spot becomes more coarse or grows more. I don't think it would.
Anyway, if my facial hair was all the way up on my cheekbones, I'd probably shave it. If you don't want it to be there, shaving is the cheapest option. Although permanent hair removal might be a better solution if you're self-conscious about it.
