I hate heat

I shave my moustache and small lip beard every year sometime between Christmas and New Year. Not that I particularly need to cool down at that time, considering my location.

I always regret the shaving within the hour, but always does it next year again.

 

For getting rid of the heat I wear light-coloured cloths and eat a kilograms of Soviet waffle ice cream on the street.

 

You have a beard? I totally didn't expect that.
I used to sport a goatee and would shave it in the summer too.

 

Richard Richard.....we have only just entered spring and the max temp is like 20 degrees. What the hell are you going to do in the Summer?

 

So you are going to move back in to the mountains and live like Gollum? "Sir Vorak" yeah right you bastard.

 

I too have a full beard and found that by keeping it trimmed to about 3/8" in the summer, I'm reasonably comfortable. In the winter I let it grow to a full inch.

 

Having never grown a beard, are you telling me that it really does keep you warm in the winter?

 

I don't see how it would drastically reduce heat in the summer, A shorter one I mean.

 

Airflow. A full beard tends to trap and hold sweat. By cutting it short, air can get in, dry the sweat, and help cool you down.

 

That's probably why working out in a parking lot nearly killed me this past summer...

 

I live in steppes with some mountains

 

Fine! NO clothes and a bath tub of ice cream!! Will THAT make you Happy?! God!

...yea, I dunno what inspired that. but anyway, since I'm too lazy to move my mouse to the other side of the "size" tag (damn thing keeps moving everytime I type), I'm going to just do the rest of this post in small size font. I figure this will work with all efficiency, since most of this forum won't bother to read it at all. Anyway... I don't bother with a beard because my facial hair grows in red, and the rest of my hair is dirty blonde. Therefore, I shave fairly regularly.

 

Really, Vorak, you're already complaining? What will you have left when summer does arrive?
