I did laser about 4 years ago, it got what bit of shadow I had, but I still have a lot of whites and grays, so I do still shave everyday right after a hot shower. I shave very close, but my face tolerates it well and I don't have an issue with it during the day. I work with the public, so I do try to look my best within reason. I don't touch up my makeup during the day either, don't even carry any in my purse anymore.
