Nicely done.
I can't find mine (obviously). But I did use one back in 1977 when I did not have a beard (pumping gasoline at the Grand Canyon -- no beards allowed). Oh yeah...and for a month when I turned 50, just for the halibut.
When I was working at the Grand Canyon (where beards were not allowed and I'd get warning notices if my mushtash drooped below the corners of my mouth), a singer would come by the employee pub occasionally and the refrain of one of our favorite songs had the lines:
But I'm still hairy on the inside
And I shampoo it with beer most every night.
I finally got rid of the ponytail after a few years of packing mules, building trails and such. But the beard was good for firefighting. If it was smoking, I was too close to the flames -- and it kept the direct heat off my lower face and neck.
Beards can be great for skiing, the beard holds an ice crust that keeps the wind and cold off the face and the face dry.
Yup; shaving brush and a bar of Ivory is all you need.I use a shaving brush (badger) every time I shave, have done for years. Much preferable to buying cans of shaving cream that create recycling concerns...
Working on the trails in the summer, I'd dip my beard in a creek for the evaporative cooling...
I worked in a wilderness where I could drink directly from the creeks and springs -- the beard would get wet anyway...I just didn't shake out the water!That is a new concept for me. I will start doing that!
