Guy advice: How do I get stubble?
Hey guys!
Basically, I'm a 19 year old lad, nearly 20 - with the complete inability to grow hair on my face! I can honestly say, I've never wet-shaved in my life! (I use an electric razor when I need it.) Although I'm starting to mature now, I've always been the 'cutie' - what with having a baby-like face.
If I do get hair on my face, it's very fine light hairs (eventhough my hair is dark, well, dark blonde..) I do however get hair under my nose, which actually, is quite stubbly now as I haven't electric-shaved it since Saturday. But it's the hair on my face that I'd really like. I guess I want something like this:

I heard that I should wet-shave everyday, as it encourages hair to grow back thicker? Is this true? I know, I should count myself lucky - but I'm at the stage now where I don't want to be a 'boy' - I want to be a man!
Any tips? Thanks a lot

Of course, this wont make hair grow on your face. Nothing will really do that im afraid!
Whatever you do, though, until you actually can grow a beard, always shave whatever there is there. It will not look cool to leave it, it will look like you have a smudge on your top lip.
I've always been jealous of guys who have stubble - now more than ever actually, as I've started to think about my masculinity etc, and stubble is a sign of that! I know I'll probably be complaining about it soon though!
Thank god i'm fair haired so don't have to worry about shaving often.
Wet shaving seemed to make mine grow... I always electric shaved until I went on holiday in 2007 and forgot the shaver. Mortifications at having Jake the (really attractive) tour rep show me how to wet shave. Not that I asked him mind.. he took pity on me.
I've always wet shaved since... now I have to shave every other day cos of the stubble growth whereas before I only needed to electric shave every 4 days or so and even then you couldn't really see it but I could feel it.
Whether me being introduced to wet shaving and the increased hair growth was a complete coincidence or not I don't know though.
And the hair is dark on my face even though I'm an ex-ginger.
What it does do is give your previously smooth little bum-fluff hairs a sharp edge where they've been cut, so your stubble feels a little rougher when it grows back.
Now I am 36 the hairs grow thick and coarse and annoy me.
Relish your stubble free days. When you get older,you begin to wish on electrolysis!
As a menopausal woman, I really look back fondly on the stubble-free days!
Shaving every day is not nearly as much fun as Gilette and Wilkinson want us to believe.
For starters there's not a platoon of gorgeous women all wanting to feel how smooth my skin is after shaving.:)
And you look like that scruff, Jensen Button.
He probably hates it when you let your "winter legs" grow a bit.:eek:
Thats a fair point
And geez, that pic you posted is a total turn off. Ugh..
Stubble
To get a good five O'clock shadow, apply used coffee grounds to your face. First, put a thin layer of petroleum jelly (Vasoline) on the area you want your stubble. Be sure you have no allergies to either the jelly or coffee. Carefully press small amounts of the coffee grinds onto your face. Allow to dry.
Anyway, with the whole 'kissing someone with stubble' thing, I heard it's fine when the person is hydrated & stuff? There must be something the stubbly person's doing (or not doing), because sometimes it's OK depending on the person!
Isn't there like, some form of stubble softener you can put on before kissing to stop the sandpaper feel?
