I hate shaving, but I do it, albeit not every day.

My Scandinavian heritage means I have little beard and sensitive skin. I alternate between electric and throwaway razors, the latter always in a hot shower.

This post is likely off-topic for GD, but I could not resist.

Regards.

(I know you were probably posting about women shaving. I have no opinion on that as I am not a woman.)

seems to be in to have some growth of sorts, mine is blond/brown, so it does not stand out if I skip some days. I then use a Norelco wet shaver and touch up the remaining light blond hairs it can't seem to get with a regular razor after the Norelco. I love being able to use regular shaving cream with an electric razor. Yeah, I think we're sliding OT! LOL!

if I never shaved or trimmed...I'd eventually look like a bigot.



Nobody wants that.

I keep it neat and trimmed, Loving Wife loves it. She says that the grey makes me look distinguished.

He could have started sooner, but it was summer. He shaved for the first day of 7th grade.

Husband - none of the above. We appear to be happy despite our 'patriarchy' shortcomings.

The DEA and other law enforcement, my ex-husband, and various future paramours, competitors, etc., are currently trolling the internet seeking to ferret out my shaving habits. I will NOT divulge them.

Not without a warrant, anyway.
