Close. I can dump my head under some water and get my beard soaked along with my head hair, and then I have a full face pneumatic cooling system.
Also, just like how it provides insulation between your face and the cold winter air, it provides some insulatoin between your face and the hot summer air.

As an aside, I find it really curious that there are fairly typical parameters for being a Shroomerite, at least in my observations. In addition to some of the other generalizing characteristics of folks in the psychedelic culture, a great many of us on here are young, white, educated, males. And when looking at people's (e.g. pubbers) pics, I have even noticed a few similarities in facial structure--one or two of you slightly resemble my own appearance.
I hate to regress back to phrenology here, but it is curious to me how the phenotypic expression in appearance so often corresponds with a given behavior or worldview. As examples: the body physique and facial structure of hardcore computer nerds, the butch block-head figure of morons, and the weirdly contorted faces and blank eyeballs of many pedophiles.
Maybe I'm just elucidating my own mental stereotypes here and accounting for the continued success of Hollywood?

Well that's no big shock I think. Our face changes depending on life experiences. At least that's what I think. You can tell a lot by someone's face.

Nice. I need to keep mine trimmed to a point for now, I'm still young and it doesn't grow in fully yet- so if I let it go I start looking real mangy and patchy.
Give me a year or so and I'll be there.
Quote:
Prior to the Romans the highest ranking Ancient Egyptians grew hair on their chins which was often dyed or hennaed (reddish brown) and sometimes plaited with interwoven gold thread. A metal false beard, or postiche, which was a sign of sovereignty, was worn by queens as well as kings... a fashion existing from about 3000 to 1580 BC.
Mesopotamian civilizations (Assyrian, Babylonian, Chaldean, Median and ancient Persian) devoted great care to oiling and dressing their beards, using tongs and curling irons to create elaborate ringlets and tiered patterrns. (note: perhaps the modern equivalent could include straightening irons?)
The Persians were fond of long beards. In Olearius' Travels, a King of Persia commands his steward's head to be cut off, and on its being brought to him, remarks, 'what a pity it was, that a man possessing such fine mustachios, should have been executed,' but he adds, 'Ah! it was your own fault.'
In ancient India, the beard was allowed to grow long, a symbol of dignity and of wisdom. The nations in the east generally treated their beards with great care and veneration, and the punishment for licentiousness and adultery was to have the beard of the offending parties publicly cut off. They had such a sacred regard for the preservation of their beards that a man might pledge it for the payment of a debt.
The ancient Greeks regarded the beard as a badge or a sign of virility which it was a disgrace to be without; and in the Homeric time it even had a sanctity as among the Jews, so that a common form of entreaty was to touch the beard of the person addressed. It was only shaven as a sign of mourning, though in this case it was instead often left untrimmed. A smooth face was regarded as a sign of effeminacy.
Around 299 BC, after a barber was brought to Rome, most Romans began shaving; being clean-shaven became a sign of being Roman and not Greek.
and that about brings us up to modern times.
