<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIt is important for a young man to have the pros and cons weighed out in his mind before starting to shave for the first time. Knowing why we shave and how to do it is key to a safe and effective shave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The internet is a great resource, and if you have a male figure in your life who can show you the ropes, ask for help from them. You want to be cautious and learn the proper technique to avoid and complications that can arise from shaving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The question of \u201cwhen is it too early to shave?\u201d is a gray area; the only real concrete warning sign to hold off on that first true shave is the total lack of facial hair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you decide to use a razor on your bare face, you can run into several problems.

After the first wisps of peach fuzz pop up on the lip or chin and the boy notices the change, he will begin to form an opinion on whether he\u2019d like to shave or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The process can begin any time during puberty; some young men see a defined onset of facial hair growth quickly, others may have more sparse or patchy spots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avoid shaving where there is no hair, and proceed carefully to reduce cuts and irritation. While there is no \u201cright\u201d time to begin shaving, with knowledge and preparation, you can explore the tradition of shaving and pass it down to your own kids. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
