sons first shave

[slestak]

My oldest kid got his first shave today (at 13), and I made sure it wasn't gonna be with a crappy cartridge razor.

No cuts from him, but I cut him a little showing him how to get his nose out of the way.

The after shave I use (Captains Choice Bay Rum) stung him pretty well, but I don't feel a thing when I use it. Is that old skin vs new skin?

Gotta be just because you're used to it but that's a proud moment, my step son is 13 and I can't wait until I'm teaching him how to shave properly.

I forgot the funny face when he tasted the stiptic pencil. The cut was onteh edge of the lip. Doesnt work to well on lip cuts.

Your son is VERY lucky that you are teaching him. I think it's great! He'll learn how to shave properly.

I wish my old man taught me to shave with a DE razor. He uses (and has always used) cartridge razors. He wouldn't entertain using a DE as he thinks he'd be cut to ribbons.

He always thought i was playing with fire when I shaved my head with a cartridge - he'd probably have kittens if he saw me with the DE blade going over my bonce! Ha.

The styptic pencil does sting but that's just a sign that it's working.
I guarantee he'll be the envy of his friends now, not just cos he's started shaving at a young age but he's using a 'bad-***' Double Edge blade instead of some mickey mouse disposable!

Great job, must be very exciting I suspect the sting is through lack of experience, I vaguely remember the first time I splashed on some aftershave sheesh!!
