   > I need to shave daily, if I'm going to keep up with it,   
      
     I have a friend, lives out west now, who had to shave everyday or he   
   sprouted a full beard over night.  :)   
     He's worn a beard all the years I've known him (40+) and only seen him   
   clean shaven once or twice.  I told him the first time I knew why he had a   
   beard.  :)   
     I prefer being clean shaven.   
     After three days I have a 5 o'clock shadow.   
     The boss relaxed the rules a couple of years ago and allowed employees to   
   have beards.  I think that looks awful for security people who are seen by   
   the public.  Call me old-fashioned.   
     And don't get me started on the ones with piercings, rings in their ears,   
   tattoos and the rest.  Some look like security should be keeping an eye on   
   them.   
      
   > I have one of those one-handed electric ball shavers for my skull   
      
     I have never understood why some men shave their heads and grow a beard.   
       
   > We had same, but farther out, in the big city, $6 for a men's cut, but they   
   don't do men'sa any more (not enough interest   
      
     I don't recall why the barber college here closed.  Could have been the   
   same reasons but they always seemed to have customers and students.   
     No idea where new barbers are trained.  Probably some overprice   
   hoity-toity beauty school.   
     There are four or five barber shops within a couple of blocks of my   
   apartment.   
     I may get into trouble for this.   
     Several summers ago (before I retired the first time) this guy was on   
   campus saying he visiting from San Francisco and asked if there was a barber   
   shop near by.   
     There were two across from campus and I pointed them out saying "The one   
   on 16th St is black and the one around the corner on 4th Ave is white".    
   (That is their main clientele).    
      He gave me a strange look and said ok and I went on my way.   
      I chuckled to myself for an hour wondering what kind of story he would   
   tell the folks back in SF.   LOL
