My electric razor alway misses a few hairs when i shave. Once they get to
about three days growth the shaver no long cuts them. Recently I borrowed
the wife's magnifying mirror and tweezers and realised how easy such a
mirror makes it to take them out.

The North American Native Indians apparently used to pull out all the hairs
on their face instead of shaving.

I'm wondering if it would be frugal with my time and electricity to say pull
out ten or twenty each morning, until they have all gone. Would there be any
disadvantages to doing this?

Makes a hell of a lot more sense to save much more time by not bothering to shave at all.

I just mow it back to a stubble every couple of weeks, just
because I find a full beard irritating, particularly after a shower.

And the fuckwit moslems pull out all their pubic hair. Wota packa fuckwits.

Ingrown hairs when they grow back. Much more time spent pulling them.

And its perfectly possible to 'look smart' without shaving too.

I dont do it anything like that often with the head.

I buzz cut my hair myself every couple weeks , in fact did that today.
Once it gets a tiny bit long it bugs the heck out of me....

Use a fusion shaver in the shower. I hate shaving, if there was a way
to end beard growth I would happily spend the money...... what a PIA:(

About 10 years ago I decided it was silly to shave every day. I
found an electric razor that shaves about twice as quickly as the rest
of them. Then I sat down and analyzed the issue, figuring that I wanted
to shave only twice a week, rather than 5x.

I finally decided that shaving on Wednesday mornings and Sunday
mornings would make the most sense. This way it looks good for church,
and only starts looking slightly scruffy late Tuesday, and then on
Saturday when I don't care.

^^^^^^^^^

If you're doing this on the toilet, I'm thinking you might mean "side
bum" trimmer.....

Makes no sense to shave twice a week.

It doesnt.

Fuck church, only fools ever go there.

I dont care every day. When it gets long enough to be irritating
after a shower, I just mow it back to a stubble again.

Thats because DSL doesnt need DC path. I got that effect myself with a line card fault.

It will be interesting to see if the govt gets a clue on that sort of thing.

Sure, but there arent enough of those to matter a damn electorally.

Nope, modern empires dont work like like that anymore.

The worst they ever do is fade away like Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Britain and France
