[pct-l] Hair

[Patrick Beggan]

I've shaved my chest and stomach before (I'm a hairy sonofagun and  
only 23. :P) and having it grow back in under my uniform shirt was  
HELL (I was in the Army at the time). Especially when we were in a  
formation and I couldn't scratch it or adjust my shirt. That's mostly  
why I don't really shave anywhere but my face anymore. I learned my  
lesson. And now that I'm out of the Army I mostly just buzz my face  
real short without actually razor-shaving it down to skin.
