• First you may want to read the above posts. All those posts pertain to shaving and hair and so on.
• Since Jan 26, 2020 I had started daily shaving.
• Now on June 29, 2020 it was my last day of shaving.
• I have reverted to pre-Jan 26 position of not shaving which I have been following with partial interjections of shaving since May 2013.
• I had bought blades for the same.
• First I bought Gillette Presto Razor
• I found the above razor lasts for 1 week of daily shaves. Or maximum eight days. After that there is skin irritation and so on.
• Next I bought Gillette Vector Plus
• I found the above razor lasts for 10 days of shave.
• Third I bought Laser Reflex 3
• The above razor lasts for 11 days.
• All the above razors were used for daily shaving and last day was reserved for underarm (armpits) shaving.
• The above (Laser Reflex 3) was bought from Star Market as buy 1 get 1 offer.
• Fourth and final I bought Supermax 3 SMX razor
• This Supermax 3 razor I never got chance to use because I got it exchanged.
• The shop from which I had bough refused to take it back as their policy was exchange within 3 days.
• So I took to another shop and he asked if seven days had passed, I told more than seven days were already gone. But he was kind enough to take it as exchange.
• So I bought other items and he adjusted the razor price in the final bill.
• Now I am back to daily head bath and no shaving and today is fourth day of no shaving.
• What is the reason for the same you may ask?
• I will say I had a pain on right side of nose. It was like mosquito bite or bee sting.
• There was no boil but reddish swelling on the nose right side.
• I was continuing daily shaving.
• Why it happened?
• Maybe the blade exceeded 10 days.
• But my theory is that the Demodex or tiny organisms that live on our faces did not find a place to stay as I was doing daily shaving.
• They needed a place to stay and when we don't shave our entire face is available for them to spread around.
• Our facial hair or beard is like a thick forest for these tiny organisms to spread around and enjoy themselves.
• When we did not give them space they decided to "take revenge" and made a hardened structure in the nose and that was the cause for swelling and pain.
• When I stopped shaving immediately in 1 or two days the pain stopped.
• A small swelling is there now but there is no pain.
• Another reason I had mentioned for daily shaving is that "beard is just one of the earthly possessions which we leave behind when we will die" and hence no need to treasure the beard.
• But what happens that beard grows on by itself.
• If we do not shave or in other words take active action the beard grows on its own.
• So it is a God given gift or feature. And hence we should not shun it.
• We do not know what happens after death, it is a mystery and hence no need to force something like shaving.
• Maybe the soul also grows a beard or keeps growing the beard if there is no rebirth.
• Maybe those who have never kept a beard all their lives will grow one after death when they are unable to use "earth's equipment".
• And hence it is needed to keep an open mind and not force anyone to shave or not shave.
