Been hearing this old wives tales since growing up; "If you shave hair it will grow back faster and thicker." I know its not true but has anyone experienced any changes after shaving?
Old wives tale?

Yeah, just like grass, when cut, it develops a blunt tip, making it look like hair is growing deeper.

Shaved my beard couple of weeks ago and hair is growing at the same speed, thickness as it used to.
Sixteenth-century mayor Hans Steininger was famous for his supposedly four-foot-long beard—until it killed him. Today, Steininger's beard is still displayed at the local museum in Branau am Inn, Austria. Steininger was said to often roll his beard up into his pocket and out of the way. But when a fire broke out one day, he forgot to tuck his beard away and tripped at the top of a flight of stairs. The fall was lethal, and so Steininger's beard became famous for more than its length.

Haven't shaved mine for a while now...
I often offer to sponsor the Mother in Law to take part in Movember. I can’t repeat what she says to me when I say that.
