Beards and whiskers

For years I adopted a river pirate look -- longish windblown hair, clumps of disorganized whiskers.

Now, post-Chemo, the hair up top is clipped short and wispy. It looks like I slid a dust mop under my bed.

I liked being smooth everywhere. I sometimes found myself feeling myself up a bit. No hair on my chest, arms, calves. Nope, no hair there. Like a baby.

Ther hair stopped growing. But now, it's coming back, sorta. I have plucked a whisker from my chin.

Here's my question: should I shave, or fageddabout it? I was thinking it would be striking to dye my head hair a fuchsia color.

Absolutely, dye that hair and post a picture.

For colour I chose red and blue stripes. But just wait, it will come back differently from what it was --at least that's what mine did. My arms used to be pale fuzz, now beary black. Was silver on top, now mixt with brown. Curly hairs came back fine and straIght. Nails were changed too. Just wait and watch. P.s. I liked smooth there too and kept that.

That is inspiring. I would have to beat the world off with a stick.

It's not an easy thing to do, or enjoyable

Head hair will come back strong 😊. But I have a minor chin whiskers and a 15 year olds mustache. Have to trim the chin whiskers every couple on months but my beloved mustache just won’t grow worse yet no hair under my arm pits. 42 months and counting 🤪🤪🤪

No pit hair . My wife much prefers me clean shaven . Up to me I’d never shave again . White beard ages one mucho.

Were you on ADT? I know that kills testosterone -- which presumably is what grows beards n stuff.

I stay shaved and what is there on my head is half inch, easy to take care of, lost all the rest after chemo 2 years ago. Short hair is in so go with the flow.

Isn't it great to give up shaving for all those months?

After chemo I shave every other day.

Shave for the ladies . Fuchsia for you . Send me a pic please? We go like we came in bald hairless and naked .
