I just took the guard off my beard trimmer and got the whiskers trimmed back close. Dad still has a drawer of shaving equipment in his bathroom. Yeah, he's been dead for a decade, but you never know. . .
Dad had a nice electric 4-blade hand razor. All it took was a new AA cell some hand soap. I'm now staring at parts of me that I have not seen since February, 1986.
KYHillChick said that it isn't that drastic a change. She also says that her cancer-related friends say the hair grows back kinky curly. That'll be a interesting change. I was a Rick Wakeman look-alike as a young teen. I can't imagine me as Gabe Kaplan.
