answer:I started shaving when I was 14 because I had enough of a beard that I was looking scruffy and unkempt. Within about three months I was to the point of shaving every day. My daughter started shaving when she was in seventh grade, 13 years old, because she was getting a lot of underarm hair and wanted to wear very short sleeve shirts. And she started shaving her legs that summer because she was going swimming. We all have brown hair and it was noticeable. (I dated a blonde who usually wore pants, she went months without shaving. And my current girlfriend is not all that fastidious about her legs.)
