Always hold skin taut and pull with a fast backwards motion parallel to the skin. Hair must grow in for at least 21 days for best results after shaving. Any hair appearing in a week or so is not re-growth but hair that was too short or not visible for the previous application. Most shaping is done from the bottom of the brow. Wax left on the skin can be removed by using mineral spirits, baby oil, or Wesson Oil.
