Common Myths That Have Been Debunked By Science

There's actually no science that's been conducted that has ever backed up this theory. When you shave, your hair doesn't get thicker, but it does get more coarse. Traditional methods of shaving are actually bad for the skin and the hair. When you shave with a razor at home, you will notice that your face will feel sharp where the hair is growing back in. Notice that if you use clippers or a straight razor to shave, this will not occur.
