When I first shaved with no guard with the clippers I liked it and thought I would stay with that.  But then I took the razor to my scalp and now I am loving that much more.  I look forward to a fresh shave each morning.  I actually don't like my 5 oclock shadow and wish I could shave my head twice a day but that is probably going overboard lol.

Yeah me too.   People have actually mistaken me for a specific cop in town.  I have yet to see this doppelganger.

When I first moved to my area and was establishing myself in the local watering hole, everyone thought I was a cop...  people would give me worrisome stares, like "WTF is this cop doing in here?"

I have a shirt that says CIA on it.  If I wear that shirt I'm sure to get about 3 people asking me if I really work for the CIA.  My answer is always, "if I was, do you think I'd be wearing this shirt?"

How many here(who are NOT military or law enforcement) have been  mistaken for off-duty policemen or military?  Even though Im both, I always thought it was interesting.

It only happened to me once, about two years ago.  I was out drinking with a buddy who used to be in the Naval Reserves.  We ran into a guy in the Army who was just back from Iraq.  They got to talking and after a while the guy turned to me and asked what branch of the armed services I was in.   When I said none, he said I just had "the look".

Well, if you had the face hair at the time, he should have thought a bit harder.  :/O  I'm not sure if the Navy still allows beards, but the other services don't.  The only other possibility would be if you were a Reservist and grew it in between your drilling times.  ;)
