I heard that the longer you leave to shave your beard off, the quicker and thicker it grows back. Is this true?

No. In fact, the additional heat generated by the increased light absorption (assuming you have dark whiskers) will probably slow the growth; although only slightly.
In short, it seems that DHT/Minoxidil is the way to go. Here's a lot of info on the subject:

You can buy 'Beargrow Rapid' from 'Boots'. Good stuff and gives you a great beard in under three weeks!

No not really - you still get left with the same set of follicles. But give it a shot. Might be something in it after all.
