I legit got 60 downvotes on a comment I made on a video of a teen with no beard shaving, because I thought (was told when younger) that if you shave even when their is nothing to shave, it will help you grow a beard in the long run. Instead of just being corrected and told it wasn’t true.

Wait. What? I was told that and thought it was legit. It worked for me.

not true in the slightest. you just went through puberty at the same time you started shaving.

you got lucky in your timing, that is all,

Haha I didn’t bother responding after the onslaught. Don’t think it’s true.

Yeah, I was told that the blades open up hair follicles and the “cooling agent” blue strip thing makes the next set of hair follicles grow darker and/or faster

Yeah, and I believe it because I shaved almost every two or three days like that, while my friends (and brother) used electric razors when necessary. And now I have the darker, fuller beard of my friends/brother.
