no stubble!

hoody

i don't grow real stubble and i don't know why
instead i get these soft hairs that i only have to shave about twice a week
i'm 21 but it doesn't really bother me, just curious

anyone have any (genuine) ideas?

ferdi

its nothing to sweat over, everyones bodys work at different ways, just get on with it. if you want to encourage stubble just shave everyday if you need it or not.

Dont do it man! I used to have that, now I have man beard. Its horrible! Shaving every morning, then that evening you have velcro chin. You then get spots on your neck, and each morning you have to endure the horrible splashing of cold water on your face and neck after molesting your face with a blade.

wouldn't use cold water, it's not the 18th century like

might try it, could do with the velcro chin look for a change from
babyfacedness

Cold water closes the pores after you shave. Only use warm water during the shave not after.

Lucky bastard. Not only do you not have to shave every day, but current/future girlfriends won't be left with big red marks on their chins!

Cake Fiend

Create instant designer stubble by sucking a magnet and dipping your
chin into a bowl of iron filings.

I say leave it as it is, not having to shave is a blessing - I've had a beard since I was 17 because I couldn't be arsed having to shave almost twice a day.

i like the babyfaced look

no stubble ?

I read that it means low testosterone levels

*Oul_Doll_Cork*

My boyfriend is the same! He has like 5 hairs on his chin after not shaving for a week! It varies with everyone! I wouldn't recommend shaving when you don't need to, it will grow back way thicker and you will end up regretting it!

I much prefer the baby face look myself too!!

Nimrod's Son

You lucky bastid! Shaving is a bloody nuisance. I'm constantly stubbly and I couldn't be arsed shaving more than once or twice a week.

Seraphina

yeah dont worry, not shaving is alot easier on your skin and alot easier on any girl your kissing's skin too!

my boyfriend doesn't have too much hair either and its great! no stubble rash! \o/

Cabaal

I almost need to shave after a day, its annoying

Me too. I guess we're just more evolved that all the others. They should get down out of the trees.

To be honest, stubble is a pain in the ass, cos like it just means you gotta shave more often which gets annoying.

Sangre

Same, all soft hair for me. Have black hair so shave often enough to avoid any fluffy knacker tache/goatee thing going on.
Probably be always like that, not a hairy person at all. Girls usually have hairier arms than me. On the plus side I'll never have a hairy back.

Dutchboy

Suppose the same goes for me! Ive blonde hair so hence a fluffy beard if i get lazy..........maybe shave once a week at the most.....

Most Girls i know are hairier than me............:D

Scary....you sure these are girls now? :eek:

I have thick stubble on parts of my face and then on others i have almost none....'tis strange and annoying if i decide to do some designs. I only shave every third day though.

Also my advice for shaving is join a gym with a sauna/steam room. I shower, do 15 mins between both then shave, shower again and spend an hour then between both and the jacuzzi. Its painfree and cleansing

As someone who is just getting over a particularily nasty batch of beard rash I whole heartedly concurr!!!!!!

Nobody wants to go around with a great big batch of sore, red pimples on their chin in exchange for a little kissing .

Shaving your face every day, will not make your stubble grow any faster, or thicker.

Royale with Cheese

I don't know about this you don't have to shave thing. If you have no stubble whatsoever then that is true. However if you have the stubble of a 14 year old you have to shave all the time because it looks completely stupid. Somebody with proper stubble can get away without shaving because it may look scruffy, but it's normal.

Yeah - if going to meet a girlfriend, it'd be a common courtesy to shave first, as far as I'm concerned anyway. Still doesn't necessarily prevent red-chin though

I have a friend who left his girlfriend with scabs on her chin because he forgot to shave beforehand. Hilariously, she got her revenge with some prominantly placed lovebites
