Right? For everyone not just trimming the beard this is the way. I just switched to a safety razor recently and it's a much better solution. Cheaper, more sustainable, less skin irritation (once you find the right blade for you).
A kid in my high school shaved just half of his face to be funny.
He got sent home for it, but it was dumb because it was hardly noticeable. I think the only reason he got sent home is because he wouldn’t stop talking about it.
I have had not one, but two power outages during haircuts. My wife usually does them at home, and on two occasions now, I've had to have half a haircut for a bit. We all had a good laugh.
Once was weather related. The other was a car which took out an upstream power pole.
