Shaving while camping?!

“I have been on short 2-3 day hikes without bringing razors, and man do i look like a Neanderthal.

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?”

“Because Tarzan shaves with his knife.”

“hmmm, I guess a point being if you were raised by chimps, why would you want to remove facial hair?”

“"Because Tarzan shaves with his knife."
skiracer

Does he have a Mach3 knife?”

“Maybe Tarzan was a woman.”

“He sure hollered like one.”

“Bitpusher....how do you know how much Tarzan moaned and hollered?

oh no...this is troubling!”

“Tarzan never reached puberty. You can tell by his asexual behavior: never bothered Jane, never looked at girlie mags, etc.”

“Good for you.”

“Tarzan didn't have a beard cause it wasn't in the script.

They didn't have enough budget to pay him as long as it would take for him to grow the thing.”

“Tarzan was part Indian and could grow a beard.”

“I grow a beard during camping season.”

“any man who shaves on the trail in a metrosexual and should be baned from the HMWHC for life. it's not a date, it's hiking.”

“Using a razor will leave small cuts on your skin. The moment you start working up a sweat all those small cuts will suddenly sting like crazy! Wait until you get back to the trailhead.”

“in=is”

“Really you should wait until you get home so you can horrify your non-backpacking wife with a stinky and scratchy kiss. =) I would if I were a man and had a non-backpacking wife.”

“Last week I got home from a 5 day hike and had a good stand of whiskers growing...it grows fast. Anyway, my wife and daughters loved it and didn't want me to shave it off.

:)”

“I keep thinking about the first Predator movie where the one soldier was walking through the rain forest with his machine gun and a disposable Bic razor, shaving his sweaty head.

Now that's tough!”

“3 or more days, I pack a razor and shave, no need to be disgusting. After shaveing, I feel cleaner and less dirty. Plus...one never knows when one might encounter a woman on the trail...its happened before, maybe it'll happen again. So, I will maintane my grooming habits...the rest of you can all look gross and disgusting.”

“If you meet a woman on the trail, she's probably hairier than you!”

“You a city boy, stikmon?”

“yeah i think any woman ou tthere is gonna be the type that digs a grizzley adams type.

besides stickmon, you look good with a beard.”

“Oh! I thought this was about shaving HER

Y'know, another remove Bush thread (j/k)”

“Usually carry a razor to shave in the resroom of the Visitor center AFTER a hike. It makes a guy feel clean. And if you go to stores or restuarants looking like a bum, you'll be treated like one. I wore a ponytail for years and didn't realize how badly I was treated until I had it cut. People were suddenly NICER and I stopped being followed around in stores.”

“Shaving while camping?!

uh.... NO (duh)



Tarzan had a van full of makeup artists (and he hollered when they sprayed the fake sweat on his freshly shaved face).”

“I've always liked to swim upstream and it occured to me that I might just set a little side bar goal of shaving every day while on my AT thru hike. I don't know if I can or not, but it really is a challenge...I don't shave every day at home.”

“i kinda like coming off the trailll all grown over. makes me feel like i've been through somethin. like people will look at me and think i've been lost on a deserted island or something.

yeah


i feel like a rebel”

“I also like coming off the trail in a more, uhm, natural state. I also like to spy the looks of people as I walk by them.

When you walk by someone who is out for the day and you can easily smell thier deoderant, shampoo, perfume, etc... you know that you have returned to a more natural state.”

“nevah shave on the trail, nevah!

Yeah, it's good to come back looking all scruffy and a little bit wild.”

“I feel cleaner, and there is nothing wrong with that.”
