    Just a phase. The women seem to love me in a beard. Me, I just get tired of looking in the mirror, at all that fur.
    I was surprised at how easy, shaving with a straight was, after being off for so long. Not one nick or cut. My daughter just laughed at me, uncontrollably. She said my face needed to be covered up, with a beard. I don't think it was a compliment. 15 yr olds. She thought she was funny, until I told her I was adding another year onto the age she could have a boyfriend.

    Scott I used to think the same way about covering my face. That’s OK until you start getting gray or white in it. Grey and white makes you look old. I am old, but prefer not to look that way. I usually shave everything gray or white off and it does help.

    15/16 Bartmann Manganese Steel, soap was MdC agrumes lathered with a Connaught Omega Jade, and Myrsol limon AS was a perfect compliment (and has some staying power for a citrus scent).

    I’d be bald if I shaved everything gray or white :happy097:

    A mellow Wosty up for Frameback Friday, software was great for a nice spring morning, MdC original in brain bowl lathered with a Zenith boar, AS was Myrsol Agua Balsamica, and a spritz or two of L’Occitan got me springtime mood.

    User Filly 14 Sub Cero, soap was Asylum Shave Works SV Colonia beta 4.3 lathered with a Semouge Galahad. A splash of AdP Colonia AS finished up a great shave.

    Red and black theme today, my old high school colors - go Bobcats! Soap was MdC rose lathered with a Semogue Galahad, and a splash of Harris Pink topped off a rosy shave.
