Shaving vs Trimming

Once again I have come to main topic of this blog.
If you look at the initial origin of this blog it was started with this reason only and of course for the reason "last movie watched".
This is a never ending struggle but the points I will outline in bullets as below:
  • A person who shaves completely is as ultimate a man as can be. He has to shave daily to make it worthwhile and might shave even twice a day (if required).
  • A person who does not shave at all is the best. Then what is on offer for him. He can either (1)use a trimmer to keep his beard short, or (2) shave occasionally 
  • A person can opt to keep moustache and shave off the beard. In that case he still would need to shave everyday and also needs to keep his moustache trimmed.
  • A person can opt to keep the beard and shave the moustache. I will say this is the worst position one can be in. Why is it the worst? I will outline as below.
A person who shaves his moustache and keeps his beard will find himself in conflict always. The primary source of this conflict will be from the people who are completely clean shaven. He will think that the clean shaven man has done 'his job' of shaving perfectly and not a single hair is left out. Whereas he would have done a minute job where only a portion on top of his lip is shaven daily. And the balance 'hangs around'. In other words his job would not be perfect.
His conflict with the person who keeps the moustache and shaves the beard would be that the moustache guy will think himself to better than the guy who gets rid of the moustache and keeps the beard.
The moustache laden guy will find himself closer to the completely clean shaven guy. The completely clean shaven guy will find more in common with the moustache laden guy then the moustache-less guy with the beard.
Shaving is an act which is violent and should be avoided and even if it is a small portion of upper lip, the act does not become less violent.
Whether one goes all the way with violence and shaves himself completely every day or even with a part shaving the violent act continues.
Best is to avoid the violent act altogether and use trimmer or not shave and trim with scissors.
