why does shaving some parts leave a stubble while others doesn’t?

546 viewsBiologyOther

so, when you shave your beard, chest, armpits and pubes it gennerally leaves a stubble whereas when you shave the rest of your body it dosen’t

why is that? Shouldn’t you’re entire body be one way or the other?

All shaving leaves stubble. What’s different is whether you can easily see and feel the stubble left behind.

The body has basically 2 kinds of hair: terminal and vellus. Terminal hairs grow longer and thicker and the stubble left behind is easy to see and feel. Vellus hairs are shorter and the stubble is basically imperceptible because it’s so light and thin (for most people).
