What else should the members of B&B know about you?

I haven’t shaved my face in over 10 years, I wonder what it looks like under there? I recently shaved my head after growing my locks out for over 15 years (I was going bald). It was a little scary to take the chop but I wanted to donate the hair and I kept telling myself “somebody else needs it more than I do”. The change has been incredible. I feel better about myself and my grooming habits are improving. It only took me a couple of weeks to find the wet shaving hobby. I look forward to shaving every other day. It brings me peace. I tried to shave every day but my skin is happier if I wait 48hrs, and I’ve found that the shave is more satisfying with more growth.

I’m a trippy dude. But I understand that this is a more conservative forum so I’m happy to leave my psychedelic musings at the door, but I can’t promise that you won’t catch a whiff every once in a while.

Thanks for having me!

Welcome. Trippy is lot's of folks middle name here.

Some here would accuse me of it.

I prefer "eccentric."
