It's always interesting to note who notices that I've shaved. I've not been shaving since Christmas (it's not really enough to call a beard), and this weekend I shaved. Those who know me the least are always the ones who call it right off the bat, "You've shaved!" The folks who've known me for a long time just sense that something has changed -- haircut, new glasses, new medication.
I dislike shaving, so it'll go back to obligitory modern-white-guy goatee soon enough.
