I shaved my chest

[mollipen]

Also, everyone I know who does it says the hair never grows back thicker, and that the belief that it does was pretty much created by Seinfield.

That's been an old wives tale for a long time before Seinfeld even existed.

Are you saying Seinfield lied?

Shaving chest hair is the tits. I will never grow that shit back again. It also doesn't grow back thick, either.

LIES!!!!

That's been an old wives tale for a long time before Seinfeld even existed.

If it's not true... then... then... fuck.

People say it grows back thicker becuase for most people, the place they shave, does grow back thicker than the parts of their body they never shave. You know, like men's faces, and women's legs.

I don't know why that whole thing came about. How would cutting your body hair make it grow back any different? When you cut the hair on your head, it doesn't grow back thicker. Some TV myth show had a bunch of people give theories on the chest/leg hair thing, and most said that since you shave it at an angle, it appears to be thicker when it comes back in, or ingrown hairs clump and such.

Chest hair doesn't bother me as long as it's kept out of view when wearing a normal shirt. That back of the neck/top of the chest and/or back hair poking out from T shirts is kind of gross.

If your hair grows long the base of the hair increases in diameter a little bit. Then you shave, and the increased diameter is still there.

Voila. Thicker hair after shaving.
