I never liked to shave and I still dont like to.  Laziness was my main
disincentive.  The electric razor hurts and the manual takes soo long;
well, as long as brushing my teeth.  (No, not the electric razor manual
{ :<{)}} )

But now that I am shaving (two months) I like the effect.
People say "It's nice to see you" and mean it in a different way.
I do look nice without the facial fur and I've dropped my nervous
habits of playing with my beard (pulling out hairs and such) and wiping
food and drink from my mustache.  Now it feels nice to rub my wiskers.

I also like the shock effect of people not recognizing me ("It was those
atom bomb tests - finally caught up with me.")  But that has worn off by
now.

Ever notice how wearing a beard is like wearing makeup, or cloths for that
matter?  They all cover up the REAL you, whatever that is.
