When I was a mere lad I always wanted facial hair. A cool moustache or a finely trimmed beard. The thought of shaving, to me, was the coolest. When I turned 13 my moustache started slowly coming in and my chin had a few hairs. Not exactly a beard though. In fact, if you were more than 5 feet away you would have thought it was a food stain from lunch or dinner. Let's just say I could have used a cat to shave.
Fast forward to present day and how I miss my younger days. I'm sick sick sick of shaving. I love being clean shaven, but I hate having to take to the razor. The only thing in my favor is I shave every other day. I tell you if I had to do it every day I would probably get so frustrated I would go the ZZ Top way. Only with my luck I'd be more Unabomber than Billy Gibbons.
It's bad enough having to maintain your moustache and beard, if that was all I had to worry about. Sadly, it's not the case. My moustache and beard may have to be shaven every other day, but unfortunately other parts on my face must have the same chemicals as Miracle-Gro. If I didn't trim my eyebrows, even Andy Rooney would think they were wild.
Next is my full nostrils of hair. I swear if I didn't trim my nose hairs you could braid them after a week.
Another problem. I have one single strand of hair in the middle of my forehead. Right in the middle, and if the hair on the top of my head grew as fast as that single strand I would not only have to shave every other day but also get a haircut. That ugly single strand of hair can also cause embarrassing moments. At a bar once a lovely woman I was talking to told me, " Excuse me, but you have a strand of hair on your forehead and it's driving me crazy. Let me get it for you." Imagine her reaction when she realized it was attached to my head. No amount of acting could hide her horror of touching what I'm sure she later told friends and family was a carnival freak. But again maybe she didn't make a face maybe I'm just assuming I never really did see her reaction. After all , my forehead hair WAS in my eyes.
I don't even want to get to the hair on my ears. I could've made wigs from the hair I've trimmed from them. This winter I decided to quit cutting them, and then some people mistakenly thought I had on black fur ear muffs. Oh well, at least my ears were warm.
Does anybody else out there have places you don't want hair? Any unwanted hair?
