It will grow back the same - not more, not thicker. It might look darker at first, because it wasn't exposed to sun.
About shaving the face - bad analogy, and again, not true. Many nationalities (especially a few hundred years ago) never shaved their face. Their facial hair would start growing as soft and thin and later become thick.

It will grow back the same but it will look like less for quite a while after the shaving. At any one time half your hairs are growing and half are not growing or "resting". So if you shave an area clear you will be cutting of the resting hairs and the actively growing hairs. When your are done shaving only half the original amount of hair that was there will be actively growing. This will make you look less hairy until enough time goes by that the two cycles catch up with each other. Then just shave or Nair or VEET again.

Shaving doesn't make hair grow thicker. You only have so many hair folicles on an area of skin and raking it over with a razor won't make more. Don't you think every man who was scared fo going bald would have cured it that way? What does happen is that shaving take the fine tapered end of the hair and leave the blunt cut off end, which sometimes makes it look thicker.
I'm not even going into why a guy would want to shave his legs. I don't think most women care how hairy a man's legs are.

Rember when you first starting shaving?. Light at first, the more you shaved the faster it grew back. Kind of a drag. Same with the legs. Light at first, then heavier later on. Why make it an issue? American chicks like their men both ways. Sam

The same. Shaving causes no change in the amount of hair growing on any given place on the body.

The hair appears to grow back thicker because it's the same width as the base of the follicle when you cut it, it no longer is thick at the bottom and thin at the top since you've cut it. You won't have "more" hairs but when they grow back they will appear thicker.

It would grow back the same after the first few times, then the more he did it, the thicker it would grow in. Don't do it. Guys should not have smooth legs, unless they're swimmers.

not more or less hairy, the shaving won't change the amount of the hair. your leg hair will however come back thicker / more coarse.

It grows back the same.
Shaving doesn't increase or decrease the amt of hair.
