I have facial hair, kind of weird, what should I do?

So, I’m 19 and I’ve literally never touched my facial hair (or any body hair, honestly) before. But I recently looked in the mirror and noticed some hair on my upper lip. It’s pretty faint—like, you’d probably have to be super close or not wearing your glasses to even see it—but now that I know it’s there, it’s all I can see. I really want to deal with it because I don’t want to feel self-conscious about it, but I’m totally clueless and have no idea where to start. If I shave it, is it actually going to grow back thicker or darker? (I’ve heard that forever but idk if it’s true lol). Also, do I just buy a regular razor, or do I need something specific for my face? What’s the upkeep like? Is it a huge pain to keep up with? I’m just really scared of messing up my skin or making it look worse. I’d love some tips! Thanks so much!
