I normally wouldn't be reading this thread, but as the situation permits, I decided I'd take a peek. Not because I have any interest in ass shaving, but my friend does.
I also thought I'd reply to this post because it is especially dumbfounding.
ONLY PLUCKING HAIR MAKES IT GROW BACK THICKER!! SHAVING IT IN NO WAY EFFECTS THE HAIR FOLICLE ITSELF!! THAT IS A MYTH!!
Now, foliculitis... well, thats another story...
