Time is the only thing that will make it come out. And, if you don't shave for a while, it will actually look a lot thicker than it really is. You whack it down to the skin every few days, you have no clue how good it will look once it gets out an inch or so. Have a look see...

That is fourth MONTHS of unshaven (only trimmed) growth. Four Months! 120 days! I had that facial hair longer than I had my first car! And, it doesn't look too shabby if I say so myself. Could be much thicker, but at that length, you'd never know that in spots, there was no hair growth at all. (Draw an imaginary line from the corners of my mouth going straight down, there was virtually no hair growth there at all. Yet, at that length, it worked out ok.)

Some folks are in too much of a hurry. And, they worry too much about how they look three days after a shave. I'm only twenty one, and it is just getting to the point that I need to shave daily (when I choose to at all). Until this point, and at the time I was growing that crop, I didn't need to shave but twice a week. Before that, I was a proud shaver once a month, and my mom couldn't tell the difference in me from week to week, lol!

A person early in their shave life really needn't worry how it will look in a week because (at least for me) it grows as slow as the hair on my head, as well as a lot more sparse. At choice locations on my chin, the hairs are in there about 1/16" apart, but on my cheeks (not those, these...) the hairs are as thin as 1/8" apart on one little spot. It just takes time to let your hair growth patterns come in to stride with your wishes.

I'm willing to be messy and puny looking for a couple weeks just to get it long enough to cover how thin it is. To the person who asked the question, I have a somewhat medical answer; don't shave for two weeks and gimme a call!
