That’s an interesting damn question.
I don’t know the answer, exactly. Except to say that I like the feeling of being clean shaven.
I’ve got a mustache and chin beard, but I like my cheeks and throat to be slick.
I’ll shave the night before and any stubble won’t be “visible” throughout the next day. But I feel it. And I can’t wait to get home and shave it off.
Also, it might be that shaving these days isn’t a chore. Now, it’s something I look forward to. Matter of fact, stubble provides me with the opportunity to “practice” some of my grooming skills.
So, maybe it’s not the stubble. Maybe it’s just that I look forward to the experience of shaving and “stubble” indicates that it’s a good time for that.
Well guys, do what makes you happy. I know that if I go too long without shavig my legs, there is a period of irritation.
As for the girls: There’s a period of irritation when a guy’s beard is starting to grow out until it softens. It lasts for about a week and we get serious burn during that time. It’s really uncomfortable.
Then it’s soft. And it gets softer.
After that, the only complaint we have is the loss of suction with a good kiss. (Facial hair does make that weird for awhile.)
But don’t think that you’ve got to bee ‘baby bottom smooth’ for our sakes. The painful period doesn’t begin for at least a day - usually two.
(And PLEASE... we’re begging... don’t do crap to your body hair beyond a slight trim. There is NOTHING more disgusting than stubble on a man’s back.)
