and the reason you had to shave less when you were younger might have been that you were younger mayhaps?

Like I said, based on my experience and you and lethul have not proved otherwise yet. I'd agree if I were talking about the difference when I was 16 till now, but I'm talking in the last 6 years. Why is it that stubble grows back faster the older you get?

edit:// flea - read a toht post? LOL.

Well link me the proof then, I'm only going from personal experience, I could do without shaving for a week till I was about 24, and the time has reduced over the years, now I have stubble later the same day after shaving.

all south asians have a full on zz top beard by the time they are 14, fact.

fl3a, just link him this;

"From tohtori to ch3tan;

Will shaving my face make my beard grow in thicker or faster?
No, shaving will not make your facial hair grow in any thicker or faster, though it may feel that way.

There are a couple of reasons why your hair might feel like it is growing in thicker after shaving. First, hair tends to be thicker and darker near the root and becomes thinner/wispier near the end of the hair as it grows out. When you shave a hair, you are cutting it close to the thicker root end, creating a much shorter hair with a sharper edge close to the skin's surface. This leaves a stiffer "stubble" effect when you rub your face in the day or two following your shave. Once the hair grows out, it will begin to feel softer again.

There are a lot of people who swear that shaving their hair causes it to grow in thicker, darker, and faster. However, if this were true, wouldn't every man, woman, or boy who shaved his or her face be able to grow a full beard? Many men shave each day precisely because their facial hair is patchy and they cannot grow a full beard! If the myth about shaving causing beard growth were true, all people who shave their faces regularly would soon develop full beards, and that is simply not the case."

sorry ch3tan i forgot about you not reading tohts posts.
heres a link:
The Beard Community Bulletin Board FAQ

its essentially what toht posted. the question i linked to answers the 'will shaving often increase beard growth' question and if you scroll up a bit you will see a part about beard growth thickening up to your 30s or 40s, making the fact that your beard growth has got thicker when you got older (past 24) perfectly normal and nothing to do with how often you shave!
if you are interested you can follow the links in that FAQ to reach more information

Google it and you can find a "reliable" source, whatever we will paste will be deemed as unreliable :p

But I can paste something at least :p

Myth: Shaving will make my beard grow thicker or faster.

Fact: Hair is basically protein and keratin and has no blood supply or nervous system. Your body does not know that your beard is shaved (or two inches long for that matter) because it has no way of communicating this information to your body. People often believe that shaving causes the beard to grow faster or thicker, but facial hair typically grows thicker and faster as you age so it's only a coincidence.

I'm casting necro on this thread because I hope someone might be able to shed some light on my problem.

I have patches of irritated skin on either side of my chin. They itch and burn when I shave so I don't shave too often. I have to shave after 5-8 weeks though because the beard itching gets to me as much as the skin itching.

The skin seems tight after shaving with a red ring around the outside. After a day or so the skin will dry out and another day later will start to flake off in scales. Shaving itself only sets off a fresh bout, but I still get it even with a face full of hair. I have to comb through my beard to get the skin out (almost like dandruff).

Mrs.Zenith thinks it is psoriasis. I don't know what to think, but I've had it on and off for the last 5 years.

Any ideas anyone?

Looks like psoriasis.

Talk to a dermatologist so that they can confirm/deny it and help you with a treatment.

I agree with the above, my wife suffers from this on her legs, and when she shaves it burns her like fook. Get to a dermatologist asap and get something to treat it ease the burning.

I think its Somalian brain slugs, they burrow in through your jaw and then attach themselves to your spinal cord and control your actions. The Somalian brain slug generally causes such pain to its victim that their facial expressions turn into one of glazed vacancy, then the slug manipulates the brainwaves and forces its prey to photograph themselves, adjust the resolution to black and white and post the results on the interwebs in order to attract other brain-slug hosts so they can all congregate at places like music festivals and shopping malls in their bid to Take Over The World!!

I believe they also force you into acts of piracy.

I recently shaved off all the hair on my Johnson and it looks HUGE and the gf loves it, so it'll stay that way from now on!

rofl good for you dude, I do not care what it looks like as long as the owner knows how to use the sodding thing! A perfect wang that looks like something crafted by michaelangelo is no good to me if it doesn't work.


...it'd be like having a DB9 made out of play dough :(

I shave down to about 2-3mm and use tweezers for stragglers on my nuts and lower shaft!

Weirdly as I have just been reminded plucking down there gives me an erection.
