i finally gave in to the call of the badger bristle shaving brush, imported shaving soap, and double edge Merkur Slant. I shaved off my beard.
I did keep my Fu style moustache though. Don't want to get too carried away. I look more like my old self now, and several years younger.
But my face is cold.
As my beard had grown quite long and thick it was a real bear to remove even after trimming it down with scissors first. I didn't get the closest shave I've ever had but after not shaving for several months I didn't want to abuse my skin too much. It's a reasonable shave and looks decent if I can feel that it isn't perfectly smooth. I made sure to use an ample amount of balm afterwards so that the skin doesn't get irritated from the unfamiliar shave.
Ah well, it's only hair and I can grow it back whenever I want. there's always next Winter.
