On shaving

I have shaved.

Once upon a time I had no facial hair that I let grow. Then I hit my junior year in high school and decided to grow some. whispy as it may have been.

Pretty much from that point on I cannot remember ever being without it.

It occured to me the other day that I've not seen my own chin in the mirror for some decade and a half if my memory serves me.

Part of that is fear of the dreaded baby face. I'm not as young as I look and I already get confused for an early to mid twenties. I don't want to be asked what Highschool I go to.

So out of experimental curiousity I shaved it off. and quite frankly I don't think I look all that differant. Though to be fair I used an electric which leaves a little shadow behind and thus the implication of a potential beard. I'll think about it a bit more before I decide wether to grow it back, shave closer or something.

I guess I will say that people at least noticed. Unlike the time in high school where I shaved the right half of my mustache and chin but not the left. Three classes before somebody noticed.

Most people noticed today, and a few ventured that they liked it. Nobody disliked it near as I can tell.

Take care of yourselves.
