I am 16 years old and having teen-staches with some beard growing as well. Should I shave it or is there any any age to start doing that?

Greetings. There's nothing like a particular age to start shaving. You can start shaving whenever you feel you want to. However, you must realise that shaving does make the skin a little rough - so if the hair growth is not very thick - you could just do with trimming the hair with a trimmer-  if u don't want to shave right away.
