    My son is 18 and has a small amount of peach fuzz. I taught him how to shave straight but he says it takes to long. He is not ready for the care and prep it takes for a good shave. I know he likes it and will shave straight when he is older, but in college I would rather he did not have such things in the dorm. Sharp things and alcohol don’t mix. And even though my son doesn’t drink most of the kids do sooo.

    It is weird to be the parent. It seems like yesterday I was in that dorm and now I can shave not only my face but the entire melon

    A disposable is fine when your beard is fine enough that you can just let the cat lick it off.

    Wait until he gets to be in his late 20s, and he's sick of shaving. Then he'll be dying for something that actually makes it enjoyable.

    I already had major comfort/burn issues at the age of 15 and my growth now at just short of 27 is nothing to write home about. About average.

    If you could see my chin in the photo you would see some of the toughest beard in the world. The rest of the face is not too bad but my chin; man the hair is thick and tough. I can grow a goat in about ten minutes

    My son has shown some interest in straights, but not enough to give them a go. Fortunately, he ditched his electric razor for a DE, shaving brush and better quality soaps and creams.

    My son Sam is only 12 but he will try anything once. I did take the edge off somewhat though.

    Great idea Gary! Get him used to it on training wheels and by the time he grows real stubble, he'll be good to go.

    I've taught all 3 of my sons to shave with the straight razor. The middle one probably uses it more than the other 2. It's a gas to hear them talk about it. So far only a couple of grand daughters though. We'll have to wait and see if any boys get here for another generation.
