I went into the nuke zone with a beard (had it for 35 years) and emerged with a mustache and goatee, plus I need to shave the upper parts of my cheeks -- The rest is more or less gone, altho after one year I am getting some sporadic growth of little, puny hairs that aren't exactly robust and are easy to pull out.

Consider having the undamaged side of your face depiliated with laser treatment if the comments from strangers are a bother <grinz>

Or just come up with some snide comments for those who don't know any better, like "I started this paid testing by Gillette and have to finish it as part of my parole terms but I'm starting to really miss being inside...".
