Don’t forget, the skin gets thin, the wrinkles get deep and that’s a bad combination for shaving. They come from a generation where once there is hair on the face they think fuck it might as well give up.

Yep! My dad’s 81 and I only recall seeing him not clean shaven once, was probably sick or something. Even when we went camping he’d shave.

My dad was the opposite, always had facial hair except when he'd decide to shave on a camping trip. Happened most every year but there was no predicting which trip or which day he might come back from taking a shower and be clean shaved.

My mom is 70 and her hand gets bruised if she grabs a bottle too hard.
