Stop shaving those arms now, and with some time, your prob is pretty much solved. Explains Dr. Jerome Aronberg, assistant professor of dermatology at Washington University, St. Louis, “Shaving doesn’t make the hair come back any thicker or stubbier. But, it does make it come back, initially, shorter. And, shorter hair hasn’t been worn down, and isn’t long enough to bend. So until the hair gets ‘older,’ it will certainly feel stubbly. And, by continuing to shave off the stubby hair, it is never given a chance to ‘grow up’ into a long, worn-down softer hair.”
