The shaving (as long as you are using a bladed razor not an electric) will also remove the top layer of skin (or more if you are not careful) along with the hair. Removing that layer of skin helps your nerve endings, giving a better sense/feel. If you are going to do a full shave down you should stop shaving (at least with a razor) at least a few weeks prior to the anticipated full shave down.
