If nature had intended us to shave we wouldn't have evolved beards…
Correct, I've only shaved twice in the last 50 years, once to get married (she said she wanted to see me without a beard, then asked will it grow back in time – NO), second time to pass a respirator fit test to go into a particularly unpleasant environment at work. The test back then was to put on the respirator, tighten it up, sit in an enclosed space into which the lobbed a teargas canister. If you didn't dash out you passed. I'm sure it's a bit more scientific now.
