    Default Time to give up straight razor shaving for beards?

    Why having a beard DECREASES your risk of cancer

    Anybody else ready to give up straights? (For the humor challenged, this is sarcasm, tongue-in-cheek humor).

    This is a load of B/S.
    As a G.P I see many skin cancers. Most are on the forehead, temple and nose area.

    Sounds like it's time to grow a nice, thick monobrow [emoji16]

    Ahhh...medical advice from the Daily Star.....

    Another recruitment article for the Hipster movement, sorry, I do channel the two Hipster approved feelings around this, disdain, and utter disdain....personally, in the big city of Toronto, there is no way there can be that many lumberjacks wearing skinny jeans and sneakers....I've long been done and tired of the, "Beard Boy" look.

    I'm with Srdjan, if more is needed, monobrow here we come and I'll stop having my wife shave my back hair and sculpt the Viking Death Eagle on my chest hair.....

    What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one

    The one thing that does protect against skincancer is a hat. In most cultures men cover their heads. Same in the Western world. Hats went out of fashion because Kennedy liked to show off his hair in public. Since I have grown bold I wear a baseball cap when the sun shines. Brim pointing forward of course.

    Whenever I am out in the field surveying I wear a big straw hat. Doesn't look the best but doesn't bother me.
