Hello.

I was told the best way to get the answers to difficult questions is to ask, then listen carefully to the answers that people give you.

Why do some men have an aversion to shaving?

Are they afraid?

Comments

[excelsus]

I've seen it, but that I am afraid I cannot explain.

Of course the reason I ask my question is because I have facial hair, but I still shave.

[thoughtimight]

Is it the more patchy variety, like stubble, or is it maintained?

[excelsus]

It's a work of art my dear

Though I find very little wrong with stubble personally, just not on myself

[thoughtimight]

I've never seen art of that variety before.

I would guess it doesn't fit with what the Araneans would see as... polished. What do you think?

[excelsus]

I don't suppose you've seen someone take a straight edge to their face while sculpting facial hair before. It's delicate work.

I don't know, what have you heard on the offenses of facial hair specifically? I can see clothing and looking generally unkempt being an issue, perhaps smelling of bilgewater, scruff can still look distinguished.

[thoughtimight]

I'm... sure. You speak of it with plenty of conviction.

Nothing in particular. I suppose there was might have been a larger problem...

In the case of living, I'd suspect most people would want to be polished rather than caught off-guard.

[excelsus]

And experience.

Well that would mean defining what polished is, I am very particular about my appearance and so I cultivate a look I think is polished...but what if these creatures don't like eyebrows?

[thoughtimight]

Some of them seem to have the general shape of them.

I would hope if that was the case that the information we received would include such. Many of us have eyebrows.
