Keep shaving your whole face. It will come in.

That myth has been busted before. Shaving more often doesn't make it grown thicker or faster. Hair growth is all about genetics.

From several sites I found it says it does not have any affect; See below.
The hair shaft naturally tapers at the end, so what you typically see are the thinnest portions of your hair. When you shave, however, you are crossing the midshaft and exposing the thicker part of the hair, making it seem as if each individual strand is taking up a bit more space. Moreover, the stubble feels stiffer because it's shorter and cut straight across (body hair feels softer as it gets longer). Even the apparent darkening of the cut hair is an illusion — it appears darker because you are now seeing the hair dots directly against the backdrop of your normal skin color.
Scientists have actually conducted studies to test whether shaving affects hair growth. In a 1928 study published in the journal Anatomical Record, forensic anthropologist Mildred Trotter found that shaving has no effect on hair's color, texture or growth rate. More recently, research published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology also looked at this tale. "No significant differences in total weight of hair produced in a measured area, or in width or rate of growth of individual hairs, could be ascribed to shaving," the researchers concluded in their 1970 study.

Ok, maybe it's fake I don't know. I did notice u said shaving cuts the thinnest part of the hair leaving the larger middle part exposed, does that mean the hair is thicker? Seems that way.

No, what that means is that when your hair grows it tapers at the end and is wider at the base so when you have long hair it looks thin because it lays flatter. When you cut it you remove the thinner end and have a "thicker" end exposed that stands up on end giving the appearance of it being "thicker". This is referring to cutting a beard down and not shaving to bare skin.
Do bald men who shave their heads multiple times a week have thicker faster growing hair, no they don't, then why would shaving your face frequently make it thicker and grow faster??
Shaving more frequently does not make hair thicker or grow faster but if you click some of the links there are several ways to do this and shaving is DEF not one of them.

Yeah I saw my coo this morning he's got a huge beard. He was like, did you trim it? I said yeah it was getting crazy. He said *****, gotta go full gorilla.
Honestly I went shorter then I meant to. But it's longer than my hair.

I just trimmed up. It's been going for 3 months but people were giving me looks and I work in a corporate setting with a new female boss. Still longer than the hair on my head I took it down to a #3 on my clippers.
