My facial hair grows very quickly so I have to shave twice a day. I use an electric razor as I detest shaving foam. The problem I have is that the skin on my face is very sensitive so the electric razor alway irritates it and I'm left itching for most of the day. I tried having a beard but I was too warm. It's a classical dilemma. If I could remove my facial hair for good, I would do it in an instant. At least I don't cut myself with my electric razor.

I love the smell of the foam! :lol:

However, I just use a regular two or three blade disposable razor you get in a pack, and for some reason I don't need the foam. I wish my hair would grow quicker. I don't have much hair at all, except on my chin. Once that grows thick enough, I'm gonna have that. Looks cooler than a full beard, in my opinion.

I was having electric shaver problems, so I looked on Google and found a guide. http://www.wikihow.com/Shave-With-an-Electric-Shaver

I got a closer shave, and I didn't feel it tugging at my hair. I'm particularly trying to avoid razor burn.

Thanks for the link. I hate razor burn. My electric razor is a Braun waterproof foil shaver.

I've been shaving regularly for 31 years and I dislike doing it as well. If I had to shave twice a day like you do corroonb then I would detest it even more. I'm very picky about the razors and shave gel that I use.

I started shaving when I was 12. First, just a tiny mustache and then, bam, Hungarian beard. 8O

My uncle is like me. Very heavy stubble. I'm very hairy too. Arms and legs. And head too.

I just keep a beard for now, but that's too warm you say? I live up north, so at least the winters are cold and during the warmer parts of the year I have less surface area that a mosquito can get to.

I tried a beard but it was too warm and I didn't like the birds nesting in it. :wink:

LOL, really they do try sometimes. Did you know parrots find the human ear to be offensive?

The most beard I could handle was a goatee. I was shaving when I was twelve but by fourteen I just let it grow for a while and then trimmed it down to a goatee and continued to let that grow. That was on and off until I was around sixteen (although occasionally I'd let the stubble grow out until I couldn't stand the itch anymore). Around June I started growing a mustache, and I've started trimming it because it kept attracting food. :P

Whenever I drank Tropicana, all the bits would get stuck in my mustache.

I think they may view it like an angry face or something. Their ears are hidden behind feathers, so they may think ears are alien. Anyway, here's a recent picture of me in the woods near my home:

That stinks, but on the bright side working with food you wouldn't get that many complaints from customers who hate bearded people.

Nice woods, shame about the beard. :wink:

Mine was darker and thicker than yours. Do you trim yours at all? I find I don't have the dexterity required to trim my beard.
