Not for those of us with large, manly beards, according to the article.

Just alternate what you shave.
Day 1: Face
Day 2: Nads


Repeat indefinately

No breakdown of single-blade versus multi-blade shaving? Electric razor effect? Frequent thoughtful chin-stroking? This science is bland.

They do a study about the effects of not shaving, and then don't include an entire group that doesn't shave (as in, people with beards)??????????? Now that is craptacular scientific method!

The 500 infrequent shavers were found to be more likely to smoke - a known risk factor for stroke. They were also more likely to have angina and do manual work, but were less likely to be married.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. And when you're done sucking on that cancer stick, you can mow my lawn you stinky bastard! What? You don't need to go home. Nobody's there for you.

I don't think so much that it meant that the actual act of shaving has anything to do with it, but rather, the need to shave, because of different hormone levels.

Still, pretty retarded.

The 500 infrequent shavers were found to be more likely to smoke - a known risk factor for stroke. They were also more likely to have angina and do manual work, but were less likely to be married.

The study also found men who shaved less regularly were at a higher risk of suffering a heart attack and of suffering from lung cancer.

But when other risk factors were taken into account, particularly smoking, these factors disappeared.

That's...that's...

At the time the study began, in the late 70s, the prevailing trend was to be clean-shaven

What the hell planet did they conduct this study on?

Is it just me or do they never specify if they are talking about the frequency of actual shaving, or the need to actually shave? 'Cause with mentioning hormones it sounds like they are talking about guys that don't need to shave often because it grows slow not guys that don't shave often cause they're lazy.

For those of you who didn't RTFA...

It doesn't matter how often you actually shave; it only matters how often you should shave, i.e., how quickly your facial hair grows. Giving up shaving doesn't do anything for your risk.

Meh, this sounds like a really dumb study anways (not shaving often being common with guys with bad habbits, not that the act of shaving makes any actual difference unless you shave with butter and a chain saw).

"However, even after all the factors were considered, researchers found they were had a 70% increased risk of having a stroke and a 30% increased risk of dying from any cause."

Any cause??? So does that mean that the remaining 70% are likely to be immortal?
