So these comments that it comes back thinner are surprising to me.

In my experience the hairs grow back smoother and easier if you pluck because they begin growth brand new which means the tips are tapered naturally so they can penetrate through the skin. When you shave, you give the hairs a blunt end which often has difficulty piercing back through the skin. This is what causes the coarser, rough feeling and the red bumps. I think all of this gives the *illusion* that the hairs growing back are thinner. Once the hairs have fully grown after a plucking, they are about the same as the hairs before you plucked.
