I wouldn't worry about shaving Chance, I'm probably hairier than you as apparantly us Ebony VGs are made with slightly thicker and more cuddly fleece, according to Robert the Boss
Not really. My nap is the same thickness as Dhila and Priya's. Just they're darker giving the illusion of depth. Our fleece does have two sides though. One brushed out soft and the other not. Dhila's face got sewn wrong side out from the factory. So it's not as soft as the rest of her, but it's still the same thickness.
When Mr Franz makes our faces, the fabric gets pulled taut. That flattens the nap a bit, but a little hoovering fixes that. 😁
