My beard was getting a bit scraggly, so I used an electric trimmer with a variable height shoe on it. Halfway up my cheek, I guess I pressed too hard or something, but the shoe gave way and I mowed a strip right down to the skin. DAMN.
I tried to save it by turning it into one of those half-assed close trimmed GQ-type jobs, but it just didn’t work.
So, I’m clean shaven now, which does take a few years off, but I certainly notice the cold now.
