While true for most people, that isn't the answer I had in mind.

I used to have a full beard and a full head of hair. I looked good till the beard turned grey, and then shaving definitely made me look younger. When my hair started to fall out shaving my head made me look younger, and since head shaving is in these days, I finally have a hair cut that looks cool.

Yeah, removing facial hair, and in some cases head hair, or what's left of it, can make people look younger, but I was wondering, which some of you answered, if scraping all that dead skin off your face will eventually lead to better and younger looking skin. Or, taking overexposure to the sun out of the picture, do people who have wet shaved all their lives look younger, age for age, than people who use electrics?

I'm 61, I started wetshaving about a year ago, and several friends have commented that I look younger since then. My observation is that I do seem to have a healthier, less "aged" look to my face. After all, you're doing a mechanical facial peel every day.
