- You have my sincerest sympathy, Nelson. The main reason I first
- grew my beard (latter part of my Jr. year in High School) was that
- since it's rather wavy/curly, I was getting HORRIBLE ingrown
- hairs all over my throat from shaving.... Scraping my face with
- sharpened metal fragments was bad enough, but the ingrown hairs
- was just *TOO* *MUCH*. Fortunately, I was able to get my
- dermatologist to put his recommendation that I grow a beard in
- writing. ;-)
-
- It didn't look fantastic at first (like yours, rather thin on
- the cheeks), but by the time I graduated it was quite acceptable.
-
- BTW -- has anyone else heard the news-bit about the link between
- leukemia and electric shavers?
