Share an early experience with shaving?

I come from an heritage of a grandfather that I was told never shaved and yet he never had a beard. I shaved maybe once in my senior year only to see how it was done and then I borrowed my father’s single edge blade that did a great job for him. I used the shaving cream and carefully removed the cream from my face but I doubt that there was much hair mixed in with it. I did later shave and do so daily now but I was well into my early 20’s before it became anything more than a ritual I was required to do as a missionary just for the principle of it. I could easily go several days before anyone noticed the light red beard beginning to break through the skin. Even now I don’t sport much of a growth even after four or five days.
