All this talk about shaving almost has me wanting to shave, almost.

    Beardo, you might be the mountain man of the bunch. A little history lesson: Mountain men use to go to the rendezvous in the spring to sell their furs, get supplies, and a little known fact get cleaned up for the year. They would literally shave off the wool underwear using their knives. They had to have razor sharp knives. Now imagine asking another mountain man to shave off your underwear. Just kidding, they hired Native American females to do this chore. Compliments of Peabody, if you are old enough.
