From bearded back to clean shaven
After sporting a full beard for close to a year, I decided to shave it off this week. Here are my observations on what I was missing out on when bearded.
1) Exfoliation: I have dry skin, and the skin under my beard was very dry regardless of all the beard oil I would use. Shaving my face daily was instrumental at keeping my skin exfoliated and in good shape.
2) Meditation: My morning shaving ritual was my daily meditation, something that I found helped gather my thoughts and keep my focused. It's nice to have that routine back.
3) Faceturbation: No further explanation required.
