Absolutely...Although the 30 day rule is primarily for the head shaver himself (or herself), the 30 days also gives wives/partners, family and friends to adjust as well. Lucky for me, when I shaved it off for good seven years ago, several friends and a few extended family members were already doing it, so the shock factor wasn't too bad for all involved in my circle. Does your dad and/or brother shave sly or do they just rock their MPB?
