shaving for the first time. Options

[Maccabee]

I just shaved my face for the first time. Im 14.
I did a god awful job. and I broke the main rule of, never go over the same place once. I was scared I was gonna cut my self. it was better after the first stroke and I knew what it felt like.

I had the dreaded teen stache. And my dad and brother don't even use shaving cream, so I used soapy water like they do. They made it even scarier.

How old were you when you first shaved?
How often do you shave?
Share your shaving stories.

Probably the coolest part is that now there is a razor in my bathroom so people will see it. hahahahaha. Ya i know.

Edit:

dang, I just looked in the mirror and I really did do a bad job. I think I didnt press hard enough cause i didnt want to cut myself, so now there are random stray hairs all over the place. how do I fix this?

Get yourself some proper gear and throw away your cheap drugstore crap. And soapy water? Christ.

Most important thing to add (besides actual shaving soap or cream) is a badger hair brush to soften and raise the whiskers. Badgers are pretty vicious animals so you know a product is quality when it's enfused with the spirit of their dead carcasses. Don't use shitty modern razers, either, especially not disposables. Get something like this. If that looks expensive, then look how much you'll be saving on razers. In comparison, a 5-pack of orange plastic "Fusion" blades that will probably get you beaten up is $20.

This stuff is awesome as cream because they used it in Italy during World War II or something old fashioned-sounding like that. It lasts a long time because you only need a tiny bit for it to make big lather, unlike pussy canned ones that look like something you'd vandalize a wall with.

This equipment is so badass that my keyboard grew hair typing this all up. I hear classic utensils like these were the choice of Clint Eastwood, Steve McQueen, and Tyrannosaurus Rex back in their days. Also if you're a wuss and my facetiousness is bothering you, then here's a nerdy article supporting what I say.

You should lay off the memory impairing drugs.
