I’ve never tried the before, so It’s kind of a test. I created an outside poll, and put it on my webpage. Hope it works. Let me know what you think. **[VOTE HERE!](http://www.geocities.com/daveyjwin/SDMBPoll.html?1017896237360)** ---

Well, the poll page doesn’t seem to be working, so here’s my vote (potential TMI?) . . . I recently started shaving and think it’s great, albeit a bit high-maintenance. I think the increased level of comfort and lower level of hair in the shower is worth it. The occasional itchiness can take a bit to get used to, also. ---
