mens face hair growing back?

Hi I have noticed that when I shave in the morning I can see stubble in the afternoon.


I use Gillette fusion bladed shaver which is a wet shave with shaving gel, I replace the blades as stated on pack and even with new blade it is the same, I used to go till the following morning when I shaved again, could it be down to age I am now 31.

    Short beard stubble on a man's face that has grown since the morning shave, usually experienced towards the end of the day.

    Yes it could be due to your age.

    Your choice of shaver isn't going to change how fast your hair grows.

    No but it might affect how visible it is. I do find though that as you get older you have to shave more.

    Im slightly younger but my shaving has gone from weekly, to 3 days now down the 2 before I have to shave again. So I think it does just get worse.

    A double-edge safety razor with a good blade would shave you closer than the Fusion, and more cheaply as well.

    Something like the Merkur Progress would be a good choice since you can select the aggression of the shave as you become accustomed to the different technique required.

    You could keep your fusion for travelling etc.

    Could be due to a full moon ...

    perfectly normal for some guys at 31.

    If you want to look clean shaven throughout the day maybe review your shaving technique, preparation and stretching the skin as you shave - there are vids out there.

    Otherwise take an electric shaver with you.
