Hi, this is a question that I'm a bit embarrassed to ask. I probably shouldn't be, but hey!
I'm a single mum, with a son who has just turned 16. He is just beginning to get longer (but still fine) facial hair and has mild acne. We're close and I'm not worried about talking to him about it - but technically, I feel quite ignorant. Is it even the right time for him to start shaving? And at this stage, how often will he need to shave?
I know to shave in the direction that the hair grows - but what is the best equipment to use, from shaving foam to after shave skin care? Also, what else would you advise a young man beginning to shave?
You see, completely ignorant, so any advice will be very appreciated.
Interesting times when boys turn into young men...
mothers can feel like they don't have all the answers in the wake of this ongoing metamorphosis.
Does he want to shave just yet?
Kids these days know a lot more what they really want to do. My younger one was saying mum "when I start to get a beard, I wouldn't rush to shave it...shaving seems a big hassle".
I am sure your son has a fairly good idea about what he will have to do. He may leave it for so long and then quite out of blue runs to corner shop...buys a razor and off it all goes. No fuss! Life teaches him as he goes along. He will know exactly what to do...
Mamas worry and that is what they do....but it all gets sorted beautifully.
Most important thing is that you engage with each other. Beacuse Usually in teens, children pinch their hearts create gaps with parents and run out of heart connection with mums.
Speak with him, you will both clear something.
I probably ought to reply here. 😀
The kit you need:
-shaving soap or cream (TBH I just use water to wet the hairs and skin)
-a basic razor (I use a Tesco Value one!)
-shaving balm or gel to soothe any soreness (if anyone put aftershave on my face after a shave, I'd rip off one of their arms and beat them to death with it 😉 )
Timing: depends how much it grows overnight. If it's visible every morning, then everyday. I used to get away with once every two days. Nowadays, I do it twice a week not because I'm trying to look trendy/cringeworthy but just because I cba. (Which makes me cool as if you care you're not cool. Think about it.)
If he decides to grow a beard, he might need to think about school policy and/or jobs.
If he's got acne, he may be better with an electric dry shaver as they don't quite cut as close and the foils provide a barrier between the blades and the face.
I don't get on with wet shaving myself as it makes my neck all sore and red. I just use a dry electric shaver.
Electric shavers can come in various price ranges, but for starters just start with something cheaper e.g. around £50, and then if he gets on with that then after some time he can 'upgrade' to a more expensive shaver. Rechargeable ones are more easy to handle than one with a cord, and if you go for a rechargeable, try and get one that charges quickly (1-2hrs for a full charge) and gives you the option of a 5 minute charge to give enough for a shave, which is useful for when the charge has run out and you've not much time to recharge.
If it's really just for starters, you can even get a battery operated shaver for around £10 from places like Boots. (I have one I've taken with me camping as it's handy and small).
according to age this is built necessary for him to shave but you can take other option such as shaving soap etc it can help you or if you are agree for normally shaving then ok
