The merits and demerits of shaving.

This was a long time a-coming. Yeah, ever since I started shaving. The thing is, that shaving is not a very good thing once you're in the group of men (....and women...) who do it. No it isn't. There are a few merits and several demerits, as I shall explain.



MERITS

• {Promptly said by my girlfriend} You get more kisses!


• You don't look like a street-urchin.


• It looks better when you're air-guitaring Rock of Ages (or similar song) in front of your classmates.


• It doesn't itch when you're out in the sun.


• You can proudly say you shaved! And grin quite like this ":D"

DE-MERITS
{Apart from the directly opposite points of the merits}

• It's really tough to be proudly lazy about the entire affair at 7:55AM in the morning when you realise you haven't shaved for a week and even Ooga-Bogila the Caveman looks better than you.


• It's tougher to pull of the slick: "I am cool" look when
  a.) You don't give a damn about your looks.
  b.) You are unshaven.


• It's pretty damn hard to get a straight answer from your girlfriend when you ask her: "Do you mind me unshaven? :D"


• Very... very... hard to play when you're constantly scratching an overgrown goatee since it's obsessively compulsive to do so.


• Damn pimples.

Yes. So, kids without facial hair... DO NOT WISH FOR IT.
That's that... yeah.
