so i was enjoying a few drinkypoos with my 'token gay friend'™ in the pub last night when he decided to regale me with tales of the shaving practices of his various boyfriends.

Apparently shaving is a good thing as "there's nothing worse than having a mouthful of hair". And apparently he has it on good authority that girls agree with this too and are disgruntled that it's not common practice among straight men.

so, um, discuss in what ever way you see fit. should one shave? would you go for a clean shave or just a short back n sides?
