When you shave that area, all the hair starts out at the same, and grows out all at once, so it might feel like there's more there, since the individual hairs are all now the same length.

That makes sense. Here is their logic:
It has no effect on the thickness or rate of hair regrowth, studies say. But stubble lacks the finer taper of unshaven hair, giving the impression of coarseness.
