Hi gents (and ladies)
I’m kinda new to the forum, lurked for a few years and finally thought I’d take the plunge and create an account and say hello.
I searched the forum but couldn’t find this question posted elsewhere or answered in other threads so wondering if anyone was able to answer this. It seems obvious but I’m still curious to get some facts and opinions.
My question is,
Does shaving make beard hair thicker?
I’ve heard conflicting information and wanted to see if there was a general feeling about this here on the forum.
When I started shaving as a young teen, the hair on my face was fine and as years became decades it became thicker and now it’s thick and wiry. I started off with a DE razor, switched to disposables, then cartridges for a few years and I’ve circled back around to DE for a good number of years. I’ve seen some guys that don’t shave or don’t start until later in life and their facial hair looks finer compared to others I’ve seen that have shaved for years. So any insights? Any and all replies welcome.
Cheers
Sheik
