Guest guest Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hi, Dan turned 15 a few weeks ago but we have been using an electric razor every few days with him for a couple of years with him. As soon as he started getting a bit of fluff on his top lip we decided to start him using an electric shaver so as by the time he really did need to shave that he was well used to it. We have waterproof rechargeable shaver and it has worked brilliantly. It is very quiet too.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Ours is a 3 headed electric rotary with automatic shaving gel feed - the good thing about it is that its flexible so fits around the face better which is why we bought it. DS didn't tolerate the vibration without some kind of lubricant applied separately. DS is hairy so shaving is a must 3-4 x per week sometimes I have to use a sort of hair clipper too. Moustache and neck are far the most difficult with an electric razor for DS who can't shape upper lip to accomodate. As for everyone else acne compounds the problem.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Cannot believe that while using the only thing in the house currently working......well, apart from the mini DVD player already nabbed by .........while we are mid-total-power cut!!!.......to find this thread..... For the first time ever, shaved his 'moustache' today! He was reluctant at first, when kenny decided it was getting ridiculous and he had to just shave it, and I was doing the whole rant..... " I told you you should have read that article in the autism file months ago....we should have been building up to this!!!!! " etc etc. Turns out it was more traumatic for me than for him..... is MY baby too! Well, kenny showed he could even touch the edge of the shaver (beats me how it actually works) and it would not hurt, then just took it and went to the mirror and did it himself! Looked so much better afterwards! I was feeling a bit shell-shocked etc, but later this afternoon, he came over to me and put his arms around me, and it was a real hug, not a sneak up and eyeball me kind of hug. I was just telling him how nice it was of him to hug me and he said " I love you, mummy! " proper intonation and everything! This is only the second time in his life he has said it spontaneously, unprompted. He is also 15. Totally made my mothers day!!!! Pity we could not plug into it.....we could light up the house on it! And I am aware of just how lucky that makes me.....my daughter also said just to think how many other mums would so love to hear this. But although I did not want to share at first, so as not to make anyone else feel discouraged, just remember this is a 15 year old. So, keep pressing on, because all that **** that if it doesn't happen by age 5, then it won't, is just that...****!!! Ps of course, by the time the power is back on and this can get sent, it may be past mothers day, as it just dawned on me as I hit send......but, also, to all of you out there, much as you would probably give your eye teeth to be just an ordinary mum, you are not. You are amazing, or you would not be dealing with all you have to deal with every day, and still coming onto here to seek out and share answers and advice. Pat on the backs, as well as hankies sometimes, all round. Sent from my iPad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
