    GIVE ME YOUR HEAD WITH HAIR

    LONG BEAUTIFUL HAIR, SAXON, WAXON, HAIR DADDY THERE DADDY, HAIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, I think thats the lyrics if not close.  Ive gotten my full head of hair back but puny facial hair, which considering I had a beard and mustache all my adult life I miss it.  But just happy to have hair back where it did not used to be.

    Stache...

    I have enough for my cut close stache..., that's good enough for me.

    I have nearly none under the jaw on the side hit the hardest, very little on the other, and I'm not concerned at all, LOL... Even less to shave, I can go now for a few more days, and get a good rough look.... I might only shave about once a week these days.

    radiation or water?

    Skiffin,

    Now you are sure it is not the water causing this?  I'll bring my own if there is any questions.
