I felt slightly early (as opposed to my delayed social development) developing hair everywhere.
I was one of the few guys in grade 10 who could grow a full beard (about 2-3 inches thick) when I left it for no-shave November.

I am mainly talking about facial hair here btw.
Pubic and bodily hair I could grow spring 2009, and summer 2011, approximately age 15, I got a lot of fuzzy sh!t around my chin, which became a beard by fall, a couple months after my birthday.

It's kind of strange when people see my beard, I get mistaken for 13-15 all the time, when I walk into some room sometimes upperclassmen whisper "freshman".
I get asked point-blank too once in a while too if I am a freshman lol.

btw I practically never shave lol, my dad gets so pissed as well as my sister and mom to a lesser extent.
Speaking of my dad, he started shaving in 1976, age 17, he told me when we were having the talk...the shaving talk lol.
About my mother and sister, I'd never dare asking :P

Apparently it makes you look like too much of a derelict to get hired, though I always think how are you a derelict if you're working?

Got the contours of a stache at the age of 13. The connection between the jawline and the moustache started filling in at the same time as the chin region, at 18. I can grow a full beard now at 24, but it's still patchy on the cheeks and between the goatee and soulpatch region.

I think a little bit around 16 or so years old. I had a mustache around freshman or sophmore year. I didn't start shaving like, habitually until I was about 17, though.

First time was when I was 16. Don't know how long it had been growing for exactly...my family had been telling me I should probably shave for a while, and finally made me do it the day of my sister's wedding.

On and off since then, family still is constantly pressuring me to shave when I let it grow for too long. Especially right now - haven't shaved at all in over two months, so I've got a full beard right now.
