    About 16? But I needed to before that :lol:

    And the whole lot, except parts of my face grow hair quicker than others.

    Why don't young teens shave inmediatly? Is 'cause of the old wivetale that hair will grow back stronger, or is it something else?

    I would very much like to know... :confused:

    I can't remember, but probably about 14. I recall by grade 11 I was shaving every day or 2.

    I was 14 or 15, can't really remember. I started with mustache and sideburns, cuz that's where I had hairs. A few months later the whole face. I always wanted to have beard. And now I'm 27 and still can't grow full beard. :/ I stopped shaving, like, 3 years ago and I only trim twice a month or so.

    14 I think. I could have started probably a year or two before that based on comments I got from some people (puberty kicked in at 11), but had it in my mind that shaving was something you didn't do until HS (don't ask me why).

    From my perspective, it certainly appeared that the hair came back stronger after shaving. But the reason I waited was honestly because I had never used a razor before and was just confused about what I should do.

    I hate my facial hair, and I hate shaving worse. It started growing around 16 I'd say. Got leg hair before I did facial hair. I am not sure if that is normal or not. I had the amount of leg hair I have now at 14. Got made fun of it.

    It's that long ago I can't remember. I think I was 14 or 15 and I just noticed a whole lot of 'fluff' growing on my face, so I grabbed the razor and so it began. The fluff back then is now coarse greying stubble. :lol:

    At 18, when I started growing a few hairs. I shaved because two or three hairs (about 1cm long) and every other part of my face being smooth is weird looking, and I was ridiculed by my brothers for it hahaha

    I started shaving my facial hair about a month ago and I plan to start shaving my legs and armpits soon.

    I'm thinking around 16 or 17. I was a little late starting and finishing puberty. I kept growing in height until 25 or 26. For some strange reason, only the area for a beard formed first. The area which would have made for a mustache fully came in 1 or 2 years later. I was very conscious of the pace at which I and others were going through puberty. It did stress me out.

    Started shaving maybe two years ago. Still can't really grow a full beard (which I'm happy about, I'm going to shave the rest of that gross stuff off once I'm out of this dang house)
