To shave or not to shave, that is the question



That's the face fur after two months of not shaving. Should I go back to being clean cut or not? I know I also need a haircut.

Your face is going to get cold if you shave now. My guy Rot decided to shave his head for the first time a few winters ago, he didn't realize how warm hair is. He ended up wearing a hat all of the time. You have a great head of hair.

I pretty much wear a knit cap for 4 or 5 months a year now that I have a shaved head. But then I didn't have a great head of hair thanks to some unfortunate genetics.

I have nearly this much on my legs, with small braids at the knees. It's a winter ritual for older ladies like myself. Not all, but some.

I think a nice trim would be positive, but shaving? Up to you.

Ladies dig the facial hair. It's the itchy.

I personally think most guys look better with close shaved beards than without

I'm so glad I decided to grow a beard last summer. I keep it very short, just above stubble length, and shave a neat line under my chin and on my cheeks.

With a little edging and some tuft shortening, you're ready for prime time.

One of my favorite war movies is Gettysburg, at least partially for the facial hair.

Don't even think of shaving it!

I have a beard because of an old facial injury. I shaved it once, decades ago, at my wife's suggestion. Her reaction was (and this is an exact quote) "Put it back on," lol!
