Points A and B are well-thought-out and make perfect sense to me. I'm glad I read the description because, for the life of me, I couldn't figure out why he'd be shaving the end of his nose.

Humans shave their faces and legs all the time, so it seems only logical that anthro rabbits and hares would too. Why might they do this? Likely, it started as a fashion to fit in with other species and then became somewhat traditional. I dread to think what it would be like for those who also wax themselves. D:

Just as bad are those who glue horse penises on anything that isn't a horse. Arguably, those who just default to human penises for their anthros are worse since they're so common, but I suppose that one can be handwaved as part of the anthropomorphosization process.
Something simple like shaving won't explain any of those away, though. Maybe something like a lingering genetic inheritance from a doggy ancestor that shows up despite everything else of the body being of a different species. Furry genetics are weird.
It's understandable, I suppose. Actually researching the genitals of an animal and perhaps modifying them for an anthro is not for the faint of heart, assuming one can find any suitable references in the first place. Plus, some people might just really like the genitals of a particular species.
But silly little hypocrisies are a part of life, and they're often needed so we can get through our day. So... eh.

In my story, "There's No Way", my anthros are actually GELFs. So, I explain that being half-animal/half-human a mixture of animal and human characteristics is commonplace. I also allow for heritage traits as an author here calls them. In case someone doesn't know what they are, they're what could be called throwback traits. My female protagonist in the story (and my icon) is a red fox vixen but she has a feline muzzle and tiger stripes. These are the results of two of her ancestors, one on her mother's side and one on her father's side, marrying tigresses 200 years earlier. These traits were recessive due to subsequent ancestors marrying red foxes. However, since both of her parents carry the recessive genes, they came together in her and made her look the way she does. Sorry for the long-winded explanation but when I read your response, I couldn't help myself.

I throw in heritage traits on occasion as well. My modern era persona appears to be and identifies as a skunk, but his lore includes squirrels rattling around in his family tree somewhere. It doesn't show up much except in his fingers, toes, and claws which are longer and thinner than the regular skunk's (the claws aren't a noticeable since he keeps them trimmed), his less stocky build, and it can be used as a reason why he's incapable of digesting meat.
Basically, a hybrid child would blend characteristics of both parents (like a squirrel body with a skunk coloration and glands) and, assuming they don't hybridize further, further generations will appear more like one of the species, but there would be hidden traits that might show up, some might be more prominent than most (like an opossum with breasts and a placental uterus).
