For me, 1/4 inch would have been 1-2 weeks, and my facial hair grows fast. Keep in mind that many people experience faster and thicker growth after waxing, though you might not have that problem.
I had the exact problem as you. I was shaving for years until I gave up and got laser hair removal. The laser made the hair grow faster, thicker, and longer - the opposite of what it was promised to do.
Then I looked into electrolysis, and after nine months, I am close to being hair-free. I never shave anymore. Plus, they can treat the hair when it's fairly short (2-3 days of growth). It can be painful and it takes patience, though. Just a suggestion in case it was something you might have considered. If you're interested in it, I can give you move information.
It's great that your boyfriend is so supportive. My now-husband was also supportive and it made the process a lot easier.
