Damn I hate hair... It's so darn pointless humans started wearing clothes for shielding ages ago, I think evolution should have reduced body hair to almost nothing by now!!

It isn't really growing harder and faster, it is just that the length, texture and coarseness of your hair are determined by genetics and hormone levels, not by how often you shave.
It may be because many people start shaving early in life, when hair growth has not reached its highest rate and the hair is of lighter color. Also, hair is darker and rougher at its roots, so removing the tips gives the appearance of coarser hair.
The bristly stubble that emerges after shaving may also be more noticeable than the same amount of growth in hair that is already long.

It doesn't, you only think it does. If your hair fell out naturally, or by way of an epilator, it comes back in thin at first and then gets gradually thicker, so it appears softer.
When you shave, all hair starts to come back on an equal playing field. So it appears darker/thicker and seems to grow faster.
I will say, sometimes the vitamins you take will make your hair grow faster but also on your head which for some people is a good thing!

Your hair is darker and thicker the 'farther' back it is in your skin so when it grows back, it grows back darker and thicker.
I dont know why it grows faster, however.
