[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..

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!

15.

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

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.)

I had my first shave today (I'm 14).
Anyway I was wondering how old you where when you had your first shave?

Unfortunately for me hair grows easily in my family, I was shaving since I was in grade 6, can you imagine going to elementary school with a full beard. That is a real awkward moment.

I'm 17 and I haven't yet. I only have a faint mustache, some armpit hair, and quite a lot of growth down there, which is a pain to shave. I've had a female friend of mine tease me about my baldness, but personally, the only hair I want is on my scalp, eyebrow and eyelids. Anything else is just something to shave or irritate me.

I was 15, but I'd been needing to for 9 months >_>

If legs count, then 7. I can't stand the feel of hair that's not on my head. This also prevents me from dating as I have chased men with razors before (those damn hairy apes).

woah someone has a bit of an obsession and do one better, wax those hairy apes. it comes in finer after the first time. and if you keep at it, it will never come back. my waxing teacher is proof of it.

13. I'm 19 now. It doesn't make sense how much I should shave. It's abnormal.

I think puberty has forgotten something.
I'm turning 23 at the end of this month, and no beard yet.
I could grow a moustache if I would want to, but, no, just no.

17, Christmas day 2009 and it wasn't entirely necessary.
