Shortly after the New Year, and our return to Colorado from the holidays, I shaved my moustache and beard off. It wasn’t any sort of Big, Life-Altering Signal, nor was it a sign that my wife might be going to run for Senate. It was just one of those things I do now and again.
Well, the concept delighted my mom, who has never been fond of my facial hair. And I promised her I’d keep it off long enough for her to see me that way over Memorial Day weekend.
But, damn, I’m getting tired of both stubble and razor cuts …

I’ve always been on both sides of this line. When I have facial hair, be it a goatee or a full beard, it drives me nuts. I feel like I’ve got hair in my mouth all the time, and my wife doesn’t like the fuzzy kisses. But when I shave my face burns horribly. No matter what expensive blade I buy or what fancy shaving cream I use, it hurts like you wouldn’t believe. I have found some minor relief by shaving in the shower.
But, I’ve finally decided to stick with a happy middle ground. I’m currently experimenting with the ‘Don Johnson – Miami Vice’ look. I’m not sure I really like the look on me, but it keeps me from having to shave.
Anyone calls me Crocket and you get a foot in the teeth…=)
