For the first time in 18 years, I shaved. Off came both beard and moustache. I’m not sure if I prefer the result. Maybe it will grow on me 
Now I’ve got the housework to do.
Like carting away bales of hair?
Judas!!!
So where are the before and after pix? We get to vote, right?
Yes. When come back, bring pics.
Get out of my head dutchboy208, I was thinking that before I read that you had wrote it.
UGGGHHH
Happy Valentines Day. 
If you only knew where I’d been before I was in your head…
A before pic can be found here. You’ll have to imagine the after.
Why did you decide to shave?
(I’m sorry, when you said you hadn’t shaved for 18 years, I was picturing some scraggly beard hanging to your belly button. Then I saw the pic…not to bad!)
confessorknight is Iain M. Banks!
Your wish is my command. Via email.
Ivylass, you’ve a friend for life!
Why did I decide to shave? No reason whatsoever. I just decided.
Hmmm… now you look a bit like David Evangelista, I think.
Now paulberserker will have even more trouble recognising you at the next Londope!
There must be something in the air. Last weekend I reduced the full facial coverage I’d sported for the last 12 years down to a slimline goatee.
Vast swaths of my face which had not tasted steel for over a decade suddenly found themselves being scraped clean with nary a warning. There was some unhappiness involved, but my facial epidermis has now reconciled itself to the situation.
Tis the season to be shaving, I guess.
Not me!!! Over 20 years of being a fur face and I’m keeping it that way.
I don’t have enough facial hair to grow a beard. If I try, I just end up looking like I have a nasty beard-combover.
I know a guy who tried to grow a thicker beard by putting Rogaine on his face. He ended up with an inch-thick unibrow.
For some reason, I would have never ever pictured you with a beard.
I had never seen my dad with out a moustache until I was 19 years old. One day he just shaved it off. He grew it back a few years ago.
Notice that the newly exposed skin formerly under the beard is so sensitive right after shaving that you can feel air currents moving around in the room?
