Hello again, Griffey: I wanted to add an additional comment with regard to the idea of shaving your body. I shave my entire body with the exception of the hair on my head (not including my beard, which I of course shave) & my eyebrows. Otherwise, I'm... shall we say... naked! I'll leave it to you to envision what that all entails... I'm fortunate in that I'm not a particularly hairy person anyway, although I certainly have... had... my share. What I wanted to mention was: if you could get your wife to allow you to try it, or if you would decide to just do it, you might give it a try. I have to say that it is a BIG job. I wouldn't have realized how much time I would have to spend on it if I hadn't done it. Since I'm not employed, I have the time available. And, now, it's become almost a compulsion. I couldn't go back I don't believe. But, since you are still employed, if you did it once or twice, you might well decide it wasn't worth all of the time it would take to keep it up. But, at least then, you'd know.
