Is it wrong to just wish I could wander over to the store to getr something without either changing out of my skirt or spending 30-60 minutes dealing with body & facial hair?

You could just keep your chin and legs clean-shaven all the time. Leg hair is much easier to deal with if you shave or wax regularly.

That is practical...

You're right, of course, but oy. I grew a beard because I hated shaving. I'm going to get rid of it any day now, but I never look forward to the chore of maintaining it. (I'm never satisfied with my shave, is the problem, I usually just give up when I'm down to fine sandpaper in patches. I'm convinced an all-over smooth shave is an urban legend started by Burmashave or something.)

I can get a fairly smooth shave. But it works better if I start with several days growth. Of course, for *me*, a weeks growth is less than an 1/8 of an inch. It'd take me 2-3 days to get the "Don Johnson" look. :-)

Has its advantages. If I do a good shave, I'm ok until the next day.

On the other hand, I tend to scrape the hell out of myself if I have to do it again the next day.

I wore a beard for 25 years because I'm *lousy* at shaving.

And my leg hair wasn't a problem, as my two favorite skirts (one of which I was wearing :-) are ankle length.

For that matter, my leg hair isn't a problem unless a skirt is above the knee. One of the few "benefits" of the poor circulation that comes with diabetes. There's barely any hait to the *touch* below my knees. Visible hair, only if you look so closely you'd better be a *really* good friend :-)

My arms and hands are a different matter.

I *really* need to get the courage to go check out the numbers a couple of folks gave me for local body waxing places that won't mind doing a guy. (And yes, I know it hurts, had it done as part of a scene by a kinky beautician once)

And for that matter, I need to check the rates for laser and electrolysis.
