Bumfluff!

[Teapot74]

DS's Bumfluff on his upper lip is doing my head in! It just looks dirty. I removed it once with cream but he had a bit of an allergic reaction. He's 12 and I don't think shaving is the right thing to do, although I'm close. It doesn't bother him. What can I do? When is the right time to bring out the razor?

Kids should shave when they need to. He sounds like he needs to. I'm sure he'd prefer to shave than wax it!

If it doesn't bother him then leave it.

It looks so dirty and horrible. OH is upstairs now with the razor...

[maryannmarie]

Why are you so worried if it doesn't bother him?

perhaps because boys are naturally grubby buggers (my own bumfluff covered 12 year old included - thankfully he's blonde) and bumfluff makes them look even grubbier
