The difference

If your face is hairy and your neck - front, under the chin - is hairy, it looks like you've just been neglecting to shave. If your face is hairy and your neck isn't, you look like you have a well-maintained beard. All it really takes is a few seconds in the morning. For a few days running I just shaved underneath because I was running late, but it didn't show. I didn't really feel like keeping the beard, though, so it went this morning.

There are worse things than shaving a face. One of my friends at my last job had a son who was a high school wrestler. I was amazed to hear he had to shave his whole body before a match. His mother shaved his back.

Yikes..

Yeah, coaches can have some weird requirements. And some angles are hard to reach.

I do notice that male athletes in high school are sometimes more dependent. Once at the laundromat I saw a guy who could have been in football, probably was, with his girlfriend and mother. It was pretty obvious he had no idea how the machines worked and needed one or both of the women to do his wash.
