It seems a real tragedy that we have turned something we have to do nearly everyday into something we dread. I hate it so much that I grew a full beard for almost 20 years. I think it may be time to turn over a new leaf.

I shaved off my winter beard this year. This is the first winter that I shaved it off this early. I normally say that I keep one in the winter because it keeps my face warmer when I am ice fishing and stuff. Honestly, it is a great excuse to be lazy and not have to shave.
Now, outside shoveling yesterday, I realized that it is much warmer with the beard. I still haven't shave yet today, for I need to go out and shovel again. But, it isn't because I'm going to grow the beard back. It is because I am waiting to take my shower till after I get all sweaty.
Check out wetshaving guys - there is some good information in the wetshaving thread, even some videos on "how to" are linked there. Good stuff.
Here are a couple links I found useful reads:

By the way, a double age razor is some way cool equipment to have in your hand. My 14 & 17 year old boys looked at my new razor and said, "That's cool looking." (just an added perk)
Peace of the Lord be with you.
