By the way, everybody who thinks that shaving makes your beard grow in thicker...'tain't so. Those little hair follicles in your skin don't have any way of knowing what happens to the hair after they've produced it. The legend may have started because it takes a few years after puberty for all the hair follicles on your face to start doing their thing. So if you grow a beard when you're young, then shave it and try again later, it may look thicker the next time around. But it's not the shaving that does it, it's the "later."
