Stubble Trouble...: Sure! If you want to believe the people in the 'beauty' business...who have NO interest in selling you product, right? But you should consider this:if the hairs aren't the super-fine fuzzy kind,as the hairs grow back the short stubble might be felt by those who want to plant you a big kiss. I've heard waxing is better,but you'll have to see for yourself.Some don't like it. See how your skin reacts

No: Your hair on your face should not change colors because you shaved it. Nor should it grow longer than it would have normally.
