So anyone else here have a problem growing serious facial hair? Im 21 and would expect that by now i could have something okay, but no just nasty looking. My brother who is 26 cant either; although when i was younger my dad had a real nice stache. Am i doomed or do i just have to wait til im.... 30? |

I'm 37 and in the same boat. I have really light facial hair. So I can get by with shaving once a week maybe. So hey bro, you may never be able to grow a mustache.

Surveys say that women find a little bit of stubble to be the most attractive type of facial hair, if any.
If it makes you feel any better. |

My chin doesn't grow much hair right in the middle, but that's because I landed on it trying to surf my bike years ago. Scraped the heck out of it...

I find mine grows in pretty slowly, whereas the beard grows rather quickly. When I want to have a beard or a Van Dyke (as I do know), I give the 'stache a head start.
