See, now I had disappointing results as far as mitigating the newly shavin pale area.
If you've been shaving a while and that shadow area has been "seasoned" by the sun...perhaps you'll have better results.
Now, it worked fine on all the other skin on my face, forehead, neck....including the area on the back of my noggin where I had a balding spot and the skin was used to sun. And it was gradual and natural looking.
But on the "rookie" pale shadow, it didn't take to it.
