I've been str8 shaving for less than a week, and I'm already getting WAY better results than I ever did with safety razors. But, that's made me notice something.

Is it just me, or do most guys walk around REALLY stubbly and shabby looking?

My day-job is at a casino where you can be sent home for showing up to work without a clean shave. I have personally sent people home for showing up without shaving.

We even have restrictions on how often you can grow out a new beard, because they always look shabby for a few days/weeks while they are filling in. One department actually makes people sign a form listing the date they first came in claiming they were growing out a new beard and that they understand they can't grow a new beard more than twice a year.

Still, as I've looked the last few days, it seems like everyone I see, looks like they've got a 5-o-clock shadow on the way in the door. The guests are worse of course, except for the really old ones, who probably still use a straight or a good DE.
