well all you need for a basic shave is a razor and some sort of soap or cream to soften the area. then begin to lightly shave with the razor after you have applied the cream/soap. i've started doing it around the top of my lips and this works well and i don't have to talk about it with anyone.

Hmm, Asking parents stuff about puberty is sure embarrassing, Indeed. But you need to get it somewhere and If you do shave your probably going to store your shaving stuff in the bathroom like most people. Maybe talk to your dad? Or a male figure that your very close with. They could probably give you some tips ;). Good luck dude.

I say talk to your dad. I think if he's willing to help I think you can get over the small embarrassment and have someone there to guide. It probably won't be as bad as you think it would be. After a few days it will become the norm and no big deal anymore.

Your dad, older brother or other close male role model will be a good idea to talk to. Just mention you're getting hair on your face and you need to shave it. It all seems embarrassing right now but it's something that you're going to do some time. So just take care of it.

When i first started to shave i just spoke to my mum, and she bought me an electric shaver, it wasnt anywhere near as awkward as i thought it would be! but then that broke!! (WHOOPS) and now i shave with a normal shaver and shaving foam! i didnt ask my mum for that i just got it myself!

honestly dont worry about confronting your parents about it! Its fine! Thats what parents are there for right!? :)

You don't HAVE to shave if you don't want to, just grow a beard and moustache lol
That's what I'm going to do because I'm too scared to put sharp things on my face

Having a partial barely grown in one will look ridiculous.

Shaving cream isn't actually that important. I use a five blade razor and shave right after a hot shower without shaving cream and it doesn't bother me. It depends on personal preference.

well i suggest that you just go and buy some from your local convient store and if your that embarrased just go in with a big hoodie and they wont see your face:)

I have noticed the rash when shaving, it goes away after a while try using vaseline on it.

Dont ask how i know this but you should use a very good razor and always moisturize straight after shaving :)
