Guess I could give the reasons for keeping my beard.
1) it's a family thing - don't ask me to spell the condition, just trust
me it exists. My face is super sensitive (my face quits burning about
24hrs _after_ I shave, electric razors are even worse); yet my beard is
super tough. I have multitudes of "infected" hairs - don't even think
about cutting those. Part of my beard grows into itself. Shaving is an
exersise in pain.
2) I work outside, it keeps my face warm.
3) I have a nice scar on my chin
4) I'm very lazy, trimming it once a month sure beats a daily hassle
5) Shelah likes it
6) I'm cheap. A new blade/razor every other day is a lot more expensive
than my trimmer.
7) the more of my face that is hidden the fewer children I scare.
For some reason this condition didn't start affecting me until I was
over 25 (after the Navy). When I worked in a Radiochemistry Lab and had
to wear a gas mask, I only shaved on days I would be wearing the mask.
I had a nice HP who would let me slide on the shaving to every other
day. I also was allowed to wear silicon masks instead of rubber so my
face wouldn't have a red ring (and start to blister if I wore the mask
for a week or two).
