    Grow a beard. No cuts. No smell. No (and this is the biggie for me) having to be awake enough to shave at that time in the morning... Just trim it every couple of weeks (or let it grow for that Unix Guru® look)

    And if you get hungry you can usually find the remnants of a few previous meals lurking in it...

      Depends on if you're too lazy to take a bath as well. :)

      I just thought the same thing. But I guess the smell won't be a problem. People won't come that near with this "Show me your beard and I'll tell you your last five meals" look.

          Read some posts raving about this over the weekend so gave it a go, and can recommend it - no nicks, no redness, really close shave, and skin feels smooth afterwards. As someone who usually ends up red and bleeding it's a good find.

                Shaving cream/lotion/gel (that does not foam) also do a good job. Something like the Zihr cream or gel are good.

                      Actually, I use disposable razor blades, but when I'm finished you can't tell that I didn't use a rock, so why deny it, especially if it will get me man points. :-)

                                Being the type of person who has to do a full head shave(except my eybrows), and generally looking like I've attacked myself with a cheese grater, I might have to give this a go. Although I have found Maco Root Shave Creme from the Body Shop does the trick too...

                                    Is that "irritate" in the "beard rash" sense?
