    as a native pre-colombian, i can tell you, my people didn't shave, we plucked every beard hair out.

    Shaving? What shaving? I don't know nothin' 'bout shaving.........beard trimming yes, but shaving no.....
    Been working on this for 62 years, used to keep it on the inside, till about 13, but mostly been keeping it on the outside, lately.

    I do try to stay shaved. However, it can be difficult in the woods. So, I generally find a large round rock that's slightly flat on one side, drive the whiskers in and bite them off on the inside.

    Pluck out every beard hair, huh? Good luck with that. It will just grow right back in.

    Can't beat that for cheap entertainment. It's a win/win.

    I have kids in their late 30's that wouldn't know who was there in front of them if I was to shave my beard off. Started this growth 3 days before I got out of the service and still trying to perfect it. :>) Let me see now.Going on 40 years by my reconning. Yes I trim it from time to time. That's one of the rules of the house. Shaving not a problem here.
