    People say it's a myth, but has seemed pretty real to me.

    It is a myth. Only feels thicker when it grows out. Normal hair shaft is tapered, thicker at root and thinner towards tip. When we shave it at skin level, the part of that particular hair is the thicker end so when it comes out of skin it feels thicker. Waxing pulls the whole hair out, so when hair grows back in it is whole new hair with soft tip.

    But the more you shave, the more you use shaving cream. Of course they will say that. What I'm trying to say is that, if you pay an organization a million dollars to do a research, you're going to want to get good results.
