[pct-l] How to shave a five month beard on PCT

[Tortoise]

I've had a beard for years and once or twice I've shaved it off.

I have a barber-style electric razor. When I get ready to shave it all 
off, I first use that razor to shave the beard off almost to skin level. 
Then I go over the area with a regular electric shaver (home style).

The common razors just aren't designed or meant for a beard.

Anyhow I pulled the Victornox classic out of my GoLite pack(He He) and clipped away at my beard for like an hour. Then I was finally able to shave the remainder. In fact I managed to clog the drain of the room at motel 6 twice. Fortunate I am a plumber!
