What age did your son need to start shaving?

I just noticed that my son has the starting of a moustache. He is 11. Going to be 12 in September. This just seems early to me. So, what age did your son need to start shaving?

Yep, we had to shave my boy at that age! I, too, thought it was young.

He only has a mustache as well, but my older stepson had beard hair growing in by 12 and needed to shave too.

My 11 yr old doesn't have pit hair or facial hair yet. I'm fine with that. lol I *think* his voice may have cracked for the first time the other night, but I'm not sure because it hasn't happened again.

I have heard my sons voice crack once or twice. I wish he wasn't growing up so fast. LOL

Really? Holy crap, mine is 10. I didn't think I would have to worry about that so soon.

Me either. He has been with his dad out of state for the past month and a half. When he got out of the car, I was shocked!

I know the feeling. I tell them all the time they're not allowed to grow anymore, but they just won't listen! I even grounded them, and they still grew!! lol
