I'm starting high school tomarrow, so I thought it would be a good idea to shave all my peach fuzz off of my face. I have done a few touch-ups before, but nothing like this. I didn't use any shaving cream or anything, just water. Overall, I think I did a very good job. My face is as smooth as a baby's bottom. I was feeling very good about myself until I took a closer look in the mirror, and say that there were alot of pimples around my mouth. No! I yelled as I tended to them.

My dad warned me in the past that once I shaved once, it's all going to grow back thicker, faster, and darker, and that I will have to be shaving my face all the time now. So while I think I look better (minus the pimples), and I feel better about myself, I am worred about what is to come in my life. Was it not a good idea after all?

Is there anything I should know that will help me?

It doesn't grow back faster/thicker because you shaved. That's just what people tell you to keep shaving while your facial hair is laughable.

As for the pimples, acne usually looks more pronounced/irritated after you've shaved. Put some cream on it and it'll get better. Don't worry about it.

It doesn't grow back thicker. If it did, I'd be a mountain man by now, as I started shaving before 9th grade. It's thicker now, but it is still gross.

Now you only have one step on your way to becoming a man:

Get thrown in jail for drunk driving and then be sodomized by your cell mate named Frank.

That's it.  Too many sarcastic remarks have fluttered by without my sending you a friend request. 

But, yeah.  Just tend to it regularly and things ought to work out around the end of high school, if you're really adventurous.  Otherwise, you may have to keep an eye on the whiskers until your mid-twenties. 

It's always one or the other.  Either your beard becomes pronounced rather early, or your face ought to stay smooth for a good while.

Actually, it does.  I grow a foot long beard over the course of a mere 24 hours.

That's because I know your real name...

If that doesn't work, go to your doctor and get an appointment, whatever he gave me, it works really well.

I prefer gel over cream but I guess that may vary as well.

I have noticed that after I had a big beard my face hair grows in a "better" pattern. Before I had a "spotted" growth, today it's much more even. I will never get a beard again though, I looked like a terrorist.

Don't try growing a mustache or a beard until you can grow a thick, full one.  Patchy facial hair looks like crap.

Actually acne has nothing to do with cleanliness. In fact if you wash your face too much you're going to make it worse because you'll irritate it.

I'm nearly 20 and I've only shaved about 6 times. It's embarassing.
