| DS is 14. He has fair skin and dark hair and recently has developed a slight mustache which is noticeable when within relative close contact. He wants to shave it off, but DH said no, saying he’s too young and that once you start you can’t stop because it grows back faster and quicker. I get the last part (having to shave my legs; ugh) but am not sure on the average start she. Any input? |

19. For his first "real" job interview on a military base. He wanted to look the part, and got a shave and short haircut

Let?
My DS’s decided when to start. Neither has real facial hair yet but they started buzzing their light mustaches off when they wanted to. |

| I think that age is now since your son is asking. Your husband is being ridiculous. Would he also tell his daughter no if she wanted to shave her legs? |

Let? Is this North Korea?
If he has facial hair he wants to get rid of, he should shave. Your husband is a weird, ignorant authoritarian. |

Both of my boys, fair skin/dark hair.
Oldest got peach fuzz and hated it. Started "shaving" at 15. Youngest, likes the peach fuzz. Shaved for the first time at 16. |

| Please let him shave. Be thankful that he’s taking an interest in hygiene and appearance. My 12 year old doesn’t even like dark peach fuzz. Let them experiment. No harm. |

As a mom of a 16 year old boy who couldn't care less about his hygiene, I completely agree with this. |

+2. I don’t even know when exactly my son started shaving. At some point in HS, but whenever he felt like it. It’s his face. |
