Not really a lie. My hair lightens from being in sun light. If I keep it trim it stays looking dark. So shaving will keep it darker

Having lots of facial hair for a period of time, and then randomly shaving it off, can add ten years to your life!

(well, thats not true, but you may get comments from people saying you look younger)

Yup I agree, I could show you two pictures - one when I had face hair and then the next just after I'd shaved and you can see it... it's like your skin is softer or something. My girlfriend doesn't like me shaving cause she thinks it makes me look dead young.

I look about 16 clean shaven and about 25 with some significant growth.
