Pre-Teen facial shaving

[Wiz0711]

Hi my nearly 12 yr old son hit puberty very young and has had pubic hair for nearly 2 yrs. He has recently also started to grow some quite coarse hairs from his chin and he is being teased at school. I am wondering if there is best method for hair removal for a youngster or whether any of the normal methods will suffice. Thx in advance.

My sone was the same! Bought him a half decent electric shaver that seemed to do the trick for a while but moved onto wet shaving about a year later. He finds it easier and actually has to shave less!

Thx, I was considering hair removal cream, he is dyspraxic and has some fine motor issues so I wouldn't trust him wet shaving but I suppose there is no reason why a basic electric shaver shouldn't be OK. I just had some niggling doubts that perhaps starting shaving too young might accelerate the facial hair growth.

Sounds like electric would be the way to go then. I'm not sure if hair removal cream would work?? Never tried it. It's a myth that shaving any area makes the hair grow thicker, good luck!
