Welcome. I agree with Jigs. Put the razor away and forget about shaving for a while. It's an old myth that if you shave the hairs they will grow in thicker. In fact it does just the opposite. It destroys what growth you were able to accumulate so the hairs are starting over so it will seem like it is taking for ever. If it's a beard you're going for the guys on here will encourage you to grow one before they encourage you to shave.

Keep Bearding
