| Our boy is almost 15 and has to shave daily. He hates it and says no one else in his class have to shave regularly (if he misses a day, he gets serious shadow). How old were your boys when they started to do this? It seems young. Thank you |

| My oldest started shaving in ninth grade. He is now a senior who also hates to shave. He sports a pretty decent beard most of the time. Does your son have a good electric razor? |

| I think my son (16.5 yrs) shaves his "mustache" twice per month. He can grow maybe two hairs on the rest of his face. He probably won't be able to grow a beard until his 20s. |

| Just turned 19, in college, once a week and that is for just some barely there scraggly facial hair. |

| He says an electric shaver doesn't get a close enough shave. He is in 9th and miserable about having to do everyday. He is embarrassed too b/c no one else seems to have to shave so much |

| Our 15 year old freshman also shaves daily and also hates it. Not his entire face (thankfully), but what I can only describe as his sideburn area/cheeks. |

| Why do they have to shave daily? Dh is 30 and shaves every 4th day. He has a very full beard and the scruff looks good. Movie stars all have scruff. |

Some schools have rules against facial hair. |

OP's son is not a movie star, and a lot of us think scruff doesn't look nice but shows poor grooming habits. Grown men should either have a beard or shave regularly. Movie stars! I am sure even these movie start shaved if they were 15 and among the only kids in HS to have a full beard. Plus there is a big difference in look of a mature scruff and teen scruff! I see so many teen boys at DD's HS, and I think what a really difficult time appearance and behavior wise that must be for boys. |

| My 15yo freshman isn't shaving at all. He's just starting to get that fuzzy dark stuff above his lip. |

NP here. I do not have a teen. I am male. I probably started shaving around 15 or 16, honestly I do not remember. At 18, I wanted to grow a beard, but waited until I went to college, then stopped shaving.
I know people that do not grow hair profusely. Some do not need to shave daily even in there 30's. Me? If I go more than a few days, I have a full beard. So, it really depends on your genetic makeup.... |
