BTW, I use the 3/4" guide for my own facial hair and have been known
to persuade S S to go with the 1" on his winter growth.


I gave up on shaving on a regular basis a few years ago. Maybe once
every other month, since it grows so slow these days. I had to shave
three times a day while in basic, to keep a despicable little drill
sergeant off my ass. That runt's face was as smooth as a baby's ass,
and he probably never had a hair grow on his face.

I'm not growing a beard, I just didn't shave. Okay, since
February. But I knew a guy like you, Bobby could come out of the
bathroom with five o'clock shadow. And if Jack didn't shave on
Friday, by Monday he'd have enough to qualify as a good start. In
high school, that's ... dang, annoying.


I literally grew a mustache in two weeks while in the Army. You were
allowed to have one, but they didn't want to see you grow one. I worked
odd shifts, and only stood Monday morning formation on rare occasions so
I would grow it and let them see it. Then I would shave it off and let
the CO see me. It drove my CO nuts!
