- Personally, I wear a beard because I hate to shave. I do however shave
- the neck and cheeks to conform to the `neatness' model which seems to be
- required in the business environment. At any rate, I also use Edge as it
- seems to reduce the number of nicks and cuts incurred in the process of
- scraping hair off of my face. Ideally, I would not shave at all .. as a
- side note, my partner also prefers me unshaven as she hates `stubble burn'
- which seems to be the inevitable consequence of shaving for her.
- As to where to find good razor blades..I haven't a clue.
-
- As to why men shave.. I also have no clue. I have heard that most men
- prefer the `clean' feeling of a shaved face.. is this really true, or
- do we just conform to convention?
