best shaving methods for boys

[Anonymous]

My 15 year old has been shaving (a bit) for a few months. Do folks find blade or electric better? My son looks best if he shaves about once a week. By then, though, the facial hair seems too much for the electric we have, but blades seem to aggravate any acne.

Also, any brand suggestions would be useful, for both blade and electric.

Blades -- always blades. Either one is going to aggravate acne. I use a Mach III. He should switch the blades ever 4-5 shaves. Also, he should shave after a hot shower.

Take him to a dermatologist for the acne. There is so much that can be done to treat acne these days - nobody should have to suffer through it during what is already the most awkward time of their life.

Not necessarily the advice you were looking for, but it is from Gillette:

OK - this youtube is not what I (OP) expected. Why on earth would boys do this - shave their public area? That's not a value judgment, but a real question.

OMG! you have to watch that youtube link from 22:58!
It is hilarious and the comments had me in tears I was laughing so hard.

I am OP, and frankly I thought it was inappropriate, and not responding to the question -- to now had been happy the thread had been so long dormant.
