I've noticed that most guys, myself included, are unshaven when they ski. As a day tripper, why waste time shaving when you could be spending it on the slope?

I shave every day before I ski. First, I find it to be much more comfortable for me. Dermatone goes on much easier. Secondly, it does not ruin the neck of my base layer or the neck of my coat/jacket. Stubble just tears apart clothing.

I prefer to be clean shaven.:spin: Like my women8) :-o:fangun:

I cannot deny my being in full agreement with your last sentence! ;) And pretty much your entire first paragraph too! But especially that last sentence! ;)
