i think freshly shaved hairs (on faces or legs) are sharp and pointy and more noticeable. i had an ex who had a goatee. after a week or so, it was soft. but when he'd freshly trim it down, sharp and pointy and scratchy. and the hair on my legs, when it first grows in after shaving, sharp and pointy. after a week or two, its soft! i think people mistake sharp and pointy and more noticeable, for thicker.

you will never convince me that my dogs dont have consciousness and awareness. glad science is catching up.

LOVE the gif!
