Shaving

---

Hey everybody! I have question. I'm 14 years old and STILL haven't started shaving. It's really embarrassing because all of my friends have been shaving since they were like 13. I am kind of getting a mustache but I don't know how to tell my dad that I need to shave. I am not a social peson at all and am not good at talking to people (this is hard typig thi right now). What do I do?

Most 14 year olds haven't started shaving even occasionally, and few would be shaving regularly. Most of your friends are probably lying, because they think they are supposed to, as you do.

If you do need to shave, you could always go and buy a disposable razor yourself (no-one uses anything else, nowadays, except for electric razors). They're not expensive. But if you need advice from your dad, don't worry about the right form of words. Just get something out. "I need to shave and I need your advice" should be fine.

If it's any consolation, I'm 21 and just started shaving, so I know how embarassing it is to be behind. Just don't worry about it so much, it's really not as big a deal as you think. If anything, it's hassel I wish I could avoid another couple years Just remember- Shave with warm water, with slow, controlled motion, in the direction of the hair growth (not against the grain or you'll get a lot of bleeding and razor rash). Hang in there!

The first time i shaved I was 14. I had a very dark mustache that i refused to shave for about two years at that time. After that I didn't shave that regularly maybe like once every 2 weeks or something. It seemed like I was the only one shaving at that point also. A few people were like oh i shave i'm cool and i was like yea whats ur point. Now i'm 18 and shave about every other day, but thats alone because i'm lazy and i really should shave everyday. Everyone starts at different times, and some people my age probably still don't shave or shave every once in a while to get rid of some peach fuzz. I wouldn't worry about it at all, and u must hate it now but in reality ur lucky. It just turns into being a huge pain in the ass.

i kinda always wanted to use a real razor blade to shave. looks lioke fun but i be dangerous

dude dont worry about when to shave itll come eventually

one day, while ur dad is shaving, go in the bathroom and just talk to him about any thing, all the while look at what he's doing...then, and i highly recommend this, find one of those razors where the blade is removed horizontally and there is still a bar, like the older gillette models, and remove the blade, and just shave as ur dad did, until u get the proper motions down.

Hey bro; consider yourself lucky for now. Shaving is the BIGGEST pain in the proverbial ass!!! I waste nearly 25 minutes every second day doing it. You will eventually have to; EVERY adult male does. I guarantee you will need that mach-3 within the next 18 months or so. If you don't want to talk to your dad about shaving, and you need to, just go to the grocery store buy a razor and start shaving that moustache. He'll figure it out fr himself sooner or later; he'll probaby ask too. hope this helpds!!

you take 25min's to have a shave?

Hey guys! Thanks for the advice. I shaved for the first time today. It kind of happened unusually. We take our school pictures like the 2nd week of school. Well, when I got my pictures back, my dad said, " Why didn't you wash your face before you took the picture?" He was talking about a slightly darkened area above my lip... plus he said it jokingly, so I said "What are you talking about?" He said "You know. Do you need to borrow my razor?" and then he walked out the door to go to work. Well, two days later (today) nobody was home so I went and got his razor and shaved off the "peach fuzz" that I had. So happy now that I got that done with! Thx guys!

Don't share razors with anybody including your father.. Get your own.

i am 16 and still don't consider myself shaving. Every couple days I take an electric shaver and just cleanup some whiskers and the cheek areas under the sideburns, and that's about it! my brother is almost 20 and still can't completely grow a full beard, so I know that it will be a while, and i am just enjoying not having to deal with that extra annoyance...

I am 14 and I shave ever few days it gets annoying to have to do it I thought I would be cool but its sorta a waste.

im 16 in july and i dont shave.. i will probably have to start this summer tho.. sucks to take on a new responsibility

im 15 and i shave my mustasch and sideburns. But i still havent gotten a goatee yet....damnit. lol But dont worry about it tho, it will come after awhile, and when u do start 2 shave u will think to yourself "if i could have put it off a couple of more years".

I'm 17 and been shaving since I was 15 or so. When I first started, it was thin and didn't grow very full, but now I have to shave every day or else it grows. It can be a pain in the ass sometimes, I love a smooth-feeling face like after a good shave & shower, but razor burn sucks ass. One of my good buddies is a year older than me (18) and he doesn't shave much, his facial hair is more forgiving than mine.If I were you, I would be glad NOT to have to shave.

Well I guess I have a questiona bout shaving:What is the difference between an electric razor and just a "normal razor" (dunno if they have a fancy name) ?I have an electric razor and I shave about 2 times every 3 weeks or so... I'm quite happy for that since I can imagine it would suck to shave everyday...But why would people use a normal arzor over an electric one?

An electric razor is much more expensive. The differences is that a regular shaver does give u a closer shave, but there is a risk of razor burn. And a electric razor doesnet give u razor burn, u dont have to use shaving cream, u cant get cut, but the downside is that it doesent shave as close and that it is much more expensive.
