You have to remember that you have DNA from both parents and it is possible you got a gene that doesn't allow for thick beards. Take a look at both sides of the family. It might be hormonal as well. You are young at 20 years old, so it is possible when you are older your beard will thicken.

Do shaving everyday help to grow the beards faster?

no. This is a complete myth. Genetics and hormones determine whether you can grow a beard or not, and what age you can grow a beard. dont worry, when i was 18 i was a baby face with a bit of fluff, im 27 now and a have thick brown facial hair. dont think about it. some men grow beards later than others. only other advice is to take testosterone pills, but these can mess up your hormone balance.
