Us tattered old wolves are sloppy eaters, so I have to keep my face easy to clean.
Far be it that Grayfox would try to influence my shaving, but regularly notes how much older a beard makes me look when I'm wearing a full one, followed by regularly noting how much younger I look once I shave it off.
Past the age of trying to look more mature, and easily bored, I do hate to repeatedly shave and fortunately at my age my face is tough enough to shave everything but my chin with just a wet razor after showering, with no cream or soap required.
My chinny chin chin is however tender, as well as being seriously scared even after cosmetic surgery, so I trim my chin whiskers into a goatee just long enough to hide the scars and short enough to keep clean.
