    The MODERN way seems to be NOT to shave to clear-face at all.

    I got complemented yesterday on my white hair, beard, moustache,
    and sideburns. I even did a "Ho Ho Ho", and pointed to my "jelly
    belly", and said "all I need is a red suit"...but I was Santa
    incognito. <G>

    You're a walking disaster. :/ At least you can still pull off
    compliments.

    And you don't even follow your own Burma-shave advice. ;)

    August,

    I got complemented yesterday on my white hair, beard, moustache,
    and sideburns. I even did a "Ho Ho Ho", and pointed to my "jelly
    belly", and said "all I need is a red suit"...but I was Santa
    incognito. <G>

    You're a walking disaster. :/ At least you can still pull off compliments.

    Before my wife died nearly 14 years ago, she got me a T-shirt:

    Front: WARNING!! KLUTZ ON THE LOOSE!!
    Back: DANGER!! ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN!!

    Her response?? "That's him!!". Nice to have the spouse so supportive. <G>


    On this day...

    I hate shaving with a passion. Plus, with the white hair, beard, moustache, and sideburns, I'm a shoo-in to get Senior Citizen Discounts. <G>

    Years ago, with my brothers first wife, I was at a birthday party for his stepson. It was in the summer, so I had shorts and a shirt one. One kid saw
    my hairy legs, and asked if I was going to shave them. I replied "Not unless I'm going to compete in a swim meet". In that regard, it's TRUE, that body
    hair creates a drag in the water. I wonder if that applies to ALL hair... facial, underarm, and pubic...although I don't know of many nude swimmers (unless they lose their suit in the pool!!).
