Then that would be wrong, as I have to permanently, regularly shave my face to maintain the same facial-hair-visibility that I had from the lifetime of growth before the first shave. (And over long enough periods, a once-shaven person will appear to have more and darker hair than the never-shaved version of that person.)
I have to permanently, regularly shave my face to maintain the same facial-hair-visibility that I had from the lifetime of growth before the first shave.
That sounds more like the result of puberty than the result of shaving, but I guess that’s not what you mean.
I had been developing facial hair for a long time before I learned to shave. (I had outpaced my peers in the “noticeable ’stache” department.) However, it was very thin, light, and wispy.
Today, it would take me a few days to grow a mustache that’s darker, thicker, and a more dominant facial feature than the one I had developed in the year or two between puberty onset and first shaving. Had I never started shaving (and maybe just regularly trimmed), this upkeep would not be necessary, yet by reading the “misconceptions” list, I would have unwisely dismissed this possibility.
