I took the plunge finally, after six years, hot water, new razor and plenty of moisturizer.
What it was:
Well maybe not this bad….but you get the picture
What it is now:
Again, obviously not literally…because that would be a bit weird
Currently my face feels like this
Cricket captain thinks I look like a 10 year old and to be completely honest I am a bit surpised by what I see in the mirror. CP’s reaction when she swings by should be interesting as should be the fam’s on Monday.
I’m just really hoping the fiery sensations shooting across my face dies down soon.
Wait…you’re telling me you hadn’t shaved for 6 years and then you say Well maybe not this bad….but you get the picture.
I’d have thought it would be a lot worse?
Aloe vera lotion and aftershave should be of some help I reckon.

Word on the aloe vera. Chamomile is really good too.
So are you going to start the process of regrowth come Tuesday?

Darwin - thanks for tips…aftershave is deadly actually…Nivea does a nice ‘men oriented’ lotion which is a lifesaver.
I should point out it was my goatee that went…so it wasnt as bad as the pic because I trimmed it regularly…just not shaved those areas for 6 years…so it was a pretty painful experience!
Rastiadu - will check on the chamomile…sounds refreshingly girly…no, no I’m pretty fixed on being clean-shaven and respectable looking for a while at least!

Don’t worry, your manhood will stay intact, (unless perchance, you’ve got a bit of Indian blood in you, and well, then we can’t really do anything about that, it is science after all
) but chamomile lotion is one of those “natural” hippie-organic-tree hugging type remedies that the anti-aftershave/fear of the “man” type people use for all sorts of things.
I vaguely recall being dipped head first into a chamomile and something or another concotion when I got the chicken pox as a kid. And that stuff really comes in handy for mosquito bites (way better than after bite, which I personally think smells like pee (because of the amonia)).
