When do boys start shaving?

I know this might sound like a bit of a stupid question but i was wondering at what age boys normally start shaving?! At home it’s only me my mum and my younger brother we don’t have much other family and our dad died five years ago and i was a bit worried about my brother because there is no one to teach him to shave or anything and he acts like a girl most of the time because most of our family are female even our older sister who doesnt live with us is gay so she has a girl friend but my brother is 14 and is going to be 15 in a couple of months is it nornal that he still isnt shaving and when do boys start shaving?

don’t they just shave when they get facial hair? especially when the hair on the upper lip becomes noticable? maybe I’m just a clueless girl…

its 14-16.

Simple answer; when they got hair(No Steff you aren’t just a clueless girl lol). I didn’t start shaving until 17, but it all depends when the hair starts growing =)

I used to be a big Chicago Bulls/BJ Armstrong fan back in the day. I think he was like 23 and still didn’t shave because there was nothing to shave! lol

it depends on each person. Robin Williams started shaving at age 3.
Clay Aiken still hasn’t started.

I started shaving when I just turned 12, but my dad never started until he was 18, it’s completely normal. He should be glad, it’s annoying having to shave everyday.

I can’t remember exactly when I started but I think I was around about 16. I am 21 now and I now of people who have only just started recently and they are the same age as me. I also know of a guy who started when he was 12. IT can vary completely and it is nothing at all to worry about!
