Hi Growth and thickness of beard is genetically determined and is under hormonal influence. Do not compare yourself with your peers. In some people it takes more time to grow thick and dense beard which is very normal. And it's a myth that using razor increases beard growth or thickness. Give some more time or else you may consult an endocrinologist for hormonal evaluation as a last resort. Do not self medicate or OTC drugs. Hope this helps.
