    I know the feeling - most of the time I wear a goatee/mo thing. About once a year (sometimes more often) I get bored/curious and shave it all off for a week or so.

    Cold lips, cold chin.

    Cold lips and chin under the Australian sun? I think not.

    Now, try shaving off a beard during a Canadian winter and that's another story....

    Trust me guys, Ryan speaks truth. I once removed my goatee in the depths of a Winnipeg winter.

    It was somewhere in the neighbourhood of -35c that day. That was a bad idea.

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    Hey it gets cold here. The other night it dropped down to 16 degrees C. It's the differential that gets you, not the magnitude....

    You haven't mastered a straight till you can effectively shave the moustache/goatee area of your face. Everything else is easy by comparision,

    AMEN! This is the 4th time in 21 years that I have shaved my beard completely. I normally have a full beard in winter and goatee/van dyke during the hot, humid, Alabama summer. The great thing about a straight razor is that you can actually get straight lines on that beard.

    The Northern version of that is "but it's a dry cold..." I called BS on that one morning when it was -48 with a windchill of -63. I don't care how dry it is, that's COLD! And I imagine the same applies at the other end of the thermometer too.

    You haven't used a straight until you shave your snot catcher.. Or that sweet spot where the chin meets the jaw
