Question

Im 14 and i wanna start shaving my beard and mustache

and do i have to shave everyday?

also is shaving with 1 blade better than 2, 3 4 or 5 ?

i dont think 5 will be good since its for my face ..

Answer 1

Its best to shave with a razor that has 3 or more blades.  

Answer 2

You need to shave only as often as the hair grows.  At 14, 1-2x a week is probably plenty.  When you get older, you'll probably have to shave every day unless you want to look scruffy.

1 versus 5 blades is not that much of a difference.  I'd suggest shaving with what your dad shaves with, as it will be available around the house and he can help you out.

Don't worry about the pimples.  You can usually shave right over them, just make sure not to use anything that will irritate the skin too much.

Answer 3

i would hold off on shaving for now use some acne cream shave maybe after showers when your face is wet

Answer 4

The more blades in the razor, the less often you have to shave the same area to get every hair, reducing the chances of cutting a pimple; try and use plenty of shaving foam.

If you shave in the direction of hair growth (usually downwards), you should avoid ingrown hairs.

To reduce the chance of pimples from shaving, use a clean, sharp razor, washing it after every shave and leaving it to dry; also rinse your face thoroughly after shaving.

An anti-biotic face wash might also help, but wait for about half an hour to an hour after shaving before using it, to avoid irritating your skin too much.

Get a stiptic pencil from a pharmacist and just dab on any small cuts, if you do get them.

You'll probably only need to shave daily in three to four years; until then just shave when you think you need to.

Answer 5

i have to same problem, i am just older, ok this is what u have to do, USE AN ELECTRICAL SHAVER, not a razor one cuz razor one will cut ur pimple and leave a mark which may not leave ur skin, then NEVER SHAVE ON WET SKIN, espically if u washed ur face with hot water cuz hot water opens pores and shacing mite spread basteria, then when u shave dont do hard on ur skin, go slow and smooth and ur shaver brand also matter buy the one for sensitive skin ok, after ur done shaving use a shaving gel for sensitive skin, that should either reduce or prevent ur skin from worst conditions good luck
