Poll: First Shave?

[effilctar]

I shaved for my first ever date, when I was 14. My uncle actually showed me how to shave.

 

[DazZ.]

I haven't got a clue.
I'm quite surprised so many people know the exact year as well...

My ex used to sort my facefluff out when I was monging out in her room watching TV, that's a weird memory...
I don't have overly active beard skills and I'm 20 now, I can get away with about 2 days until it annoys me.

I had mine 3 years ago a little bit before my 14th birthday. I remeber that I had so little hair on my chin and lip that it looked like there wasen't even a point to shaving it, but I did it anyways because I just wanted to learn how to shave.

14-something if you count the early teen moustache. 16 if you count real beard-growth.

 

[Kittenmauler]

I remember it was in 6th grade, no clue how old I was, probably about 12.

 

[Brain_Cleanser]

I wanna say I was about 15 when I started, but I can't be bothered to remember since it's somthing I have to do every two days or I start looking like my dad, somthing I try to avoid at all costs.

 

[SnipErlite]

I thinkkk 16

 

[Berserker119]

I was 13, and after 2 or 3 times of doing it, I started "forgetting" to shave and now I have a chin strap, 2 year later

 

[DSEZ]

i was 14 and the only reason i shaved is because my wrestling coach said i had to i was like WTF what does facial hair have to do with wrestling? hes like idk just do it

12. IT WAS SO GODDAMN MANLY....shaving peach fuzz. Five years down the road and I look like a damn viking if I don't keep tabs on my face.

 

[GameOverGoblin]

I was 13 when i first shaved. Practically everybody I knew bugged me about it so I finally decided to get it over with.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

I was 12 or 13.
It was right after 8th grade...
Which made me 13.

 

[Burningsok]

i was 13, I knicked myself right on the chin because i was using a dull blade. I didn't even know it. lol it stung a little so I got my dad to finish the rest of it for me

 

[Nebr66]

I'd say a was nearly 17, i looked like a hobo

 

[inpachi]

16 i didnt grow much facial hair til like 15.. And even now i cant grow sideburns and cant grow a full stache or beard or anything.. I am 18 now and i doubt the future will make much of a difference.. Besides my facial hair looks ugly.. Its all wirey and looks like pubes.. So i just shave it all off..

 

[Private Custard]

16. But I didn't really needs to that badly, I just thought I'd go for it.

That was the start of the slippery slope where each shave only makes the hair stronger!

 

[Ridonculous_Ninja]

15.

Would have been 14 but I never got a razer until I was 15.

 

[Superbeast]

I really can't remember.

I think I was probably 13-15-ish. I used an electric razor, and despite only needing to shave every fortnight or so I still managed to shred my face up.

Now I wet-shave. A much smoother cut and better for the skin.

I've gone past the "I hate it" stage - that was back when I was 18 or so (I'm coming up to 21 now by the way). The only thing that bugs me is that I'm working on turning my goatee into a Viking beard, and I keep trimming the stubble off where I actually want it to expand. Old habits die hard I guess. So *that* bugs me, but not shaving itself - it's just something that is now a part of my daily routine (well...every other day. I don't usually get up in time, and since I tend to need to shave within a few hours of shaving it's not like there's a lot of difference if I miss a day - I'm a hairy bastard all the same).

Some days I swear I'm more gorilla than man, the amount of hair on me :\

14. Spent a year and a half convincing myself I looked good in a beard.
(I did not.)
