I’ve often been told that this isn’t actually true but I can’t help but feel that it does happen. Until recently I hadn’t shaved for about a year, maybe two. Now I feel like it’s growing back quicker than what it did the last time (after shaving on a more regular basis).

    It doesn’t. The growth is the same. The perceived difference is because the ends of the hair are straight and uniform rather than all raggedy. People have been asking this for years and have been hearing this answer for years but for some reason keep asking the same question over and over.
