Good to see you still in circulation. LOL. Been awhile for sure.
Did you ever do a "dry shave"? With a dull razor? I suspect that the only hair I had on my face back in '63 must have stood out like a beacon on a foggy day because I caught all kinds of "effort" for it..if you know what I mean. To this day I do not see how that one isolated bit of peach fuzz caused all that commotion. Geez!!

[airframesguru]

LOL!

I've gone to shaving every 3 days or so (got the 24x7 shadow going), because I cannot shave with out my tender little neck breaking out. Kinda Pi$$e$ me off cause I used to dry shave with the same old dull disposable for a week or two.

Oh well, guess I got soft.

It got so bad for me that I almost had to hire a "cut man" from the local boxing gym. Came to the conclusion that I can't grow a beard. Well, maybe... but in spots.

Youv'e got about 10 seconds to get it done and you have waisted 5 of them maggot. Oh yes the good old times. OORAH...!!!

Had a recruit start growing a mustache, about 2 to 3 weeks into boot camp.
The Drill Instructors were on him like a 'duck on a June bug'. I didn't even want a mustache after that !!
