    Default 11yr old has THE TALK at school, shaving related, I promise.

    a large majority of this 'talk' revolved around the goings on of male puberty, the teacher stared talking to them about facial hair and shaving. My son shakes his head when the teacher talks about getting a gillette and a can of goo and the teacher notices and ask him about it, son says "My dad is going to teach me proper old-school shaving and how to make my own lather with a badger hair brush"

    teacher looks surprised and nods approvingly (according to the boy). of course when he said that the other kids started asking about traditional shaving. hysterical

    Right on - I can only hope that I have a son someday that does the same thing!

    Good job on raising your son right. You must be beaming right now.

    FTR - this past friday (his 'talk' was on Thursday) he also had his first boy/girl dance at school, he insisted on Capt's Choice Bay Rum after shave splash for the event. this kid was definitely born a couple decades to late.

    Sounds to me like he was born at just the right time!
