Welcome. I agree with the Buzz.
Welcome SS. Agreed with the other guys.
Enjoy the forum!
A late welcome to you Simon, and I can only echo what my sly bro's have said.
Definitely go with a buzz for your son. He's way too young for a head shave.
Keep yours smooth tho, bro.
Welcome to the board.
I agree with the other posts, a buzz cut in the summer would be the ideal way for your son to try the sly way.
Buzz is the word. At that age, he'll get plenty of feedback from his friends (hopefully more "+" than "-")
Then get his reaction to their reaction.
Welcome to our site. As for your 8 year old son, I wouldn't let him shave it,,,,I would maybe buzz it to a nice crewcut,,,,,depending on how long his hair is now. Good Luck.
