Old age has improved it. Also my hairs aren't as course as they were and I eventually got used to waxing so that it didn't cause breakouts. Prior to that I used to "shave" and it was ugly. I would constantly tweeze out ingrown hairs.

My sons don't shave. They trim their beards. Shaving makes them break out.
