My DS has sprouted a light moustache - dark hair but not very thick....he's 12.5years old.

He wants to shave.....thoughts?

I've ordered him a Harry's trial.
Shall speak to my brother about showing him what to do.....I only know how to shave legs, underarms and pubic area....everywhere else gets tweezed

I had to buy my 11yo ds (now 12) an electric shaver about 4-5 months ago. He's starting secondary school shortly and he's the tallest in his class with a very deep voice to boot. He also gets a few spots (his skin is fine though).

His 14 yo brother is has very very little facial hair and isn't shaving yet.

I just WORRY that should say....

I'm sure he can manage a razor at 12 just show him a YouTube video or show him yourself.
