I shaved when I was ten. It probably did not make any difference, however I thought I was big time, so the psychological effect was profound. Shaving does work, nerve endings, less drag, who knows. If you don't believe, shave your arms for a midseason practice and see what happens. When I first hit the water after shaving I feel I can eat n-n-n-nails (apollo creed reference)
