Bbwwaaa! Boo hoo. Bawl, snort, snifff ! Harold you just got back and
you let us down already! I
guess we're gonna hafta depend on Kink for answers to tough technical
questions.

Tough for Kink, maybe---easy for me. I have a hunch his reply won't
consist
of "don't shave", which is mine.

Don't know how many here can say the same, but I really have *not* shaved
since '64. It's one of the activities I gladly left behind. Used to
get
ingrown hairs from shaving. Don't miss that at all.

My last shave was in 1976 IIRC. I was fairly recently married,
and we were at a folk festival up in upstate New York -- and the morning
personal preparation area at the campground was a bit nippy, so I
decided that it was time to go from joined sideburns and mustache to a
full beard. I won't say that I have never touched a razor since, but I
have never *used* one since. :-) And I will agree that I don't miss it
at all -- even though I did not get the ingrown hairs.

Enjoy,
DoN.

It's nice having those few minutes added to your day as far as I'm
concerned. Besides, I can honestly say I feel like I'm naked without a
beard. I spent a year in machine repair when working at Sperry. I had to
meet with machine reps on occasion, so they wanted me clean shaven (they
could do that then). Worst year of my life. The day I went back to the
shop I quit shaving. Haven't picked up the razor since. Not even sure where
it is, although I think I still have it.

Some folks just look wrong without a beard.
