13. I don't shave, but neither do I have a beard. In this sense, I narrowly define shaving as using a blade or electric shaver to cut my whiskers down to bare skin. Yeah, I don't do that. At least not very often.

I have very sensitive skin. I can't shave more often than about once every four or five days without my skin getting red and irritated. My skin feels pretty good on the day I shave, but is itchy as all hell for the few days afterward. Shaving just isn't worth the inconvenience and discomfort.

The last time I shaved was Saturday, for the wedding. The time before that was probably at least three or four years ago. I probably won't shave again for another few years. Instead of dragging a blade across my face, once or twice a week I use a beard trimmer with the blade guard removed to keep my whiskers short. This leaves me with growth that varies from "Detective Sonny Crocket" to "Hey, are you trying to grow a beard?"
