Thread: Teaching a teen how to shave for first time

Hello!

I am the parkerskouson as mentioned above. I cannot seem to find the video of my first shaving experience which saddens me deeply.

In my opinion, maybe ask the boy? If he desires to shave with a straight razor, let him! If he wants to start out with a DE, let him! I use both regularly now(that I actually have to shave) and enjoy them both for different reasons. I actually managed my first shave at 14 without one cut! If he as an uncle who is already part of the community, even better! Pass your knowledge onto your nephew, he will never forget it! You can give him real time tips as he is learning which really can't be replaced. Great people here(even in this thread) helped me out over email, and that help was the only reason I didn't mess up both razor and face perminatley! But in person is and will always be the best way to learn!

If he as any questions feel free to have him contact me via PM with your account. I'd love to answer any questions he's has from a person who has been in his shoes at a previous time!
