Thanks bigdadoo. I had honestly never given that much thought until he had posted the question and it got me thinking. The more I think about it, it really is pretty crazy we live in a world where we waste money while damaging our only planet just so we don't have beards. I know the data would not be available but it really would be interesting to see the cost associated with everyone shaving and the pollution and long term affects, whatever it is I'm sure its not good.
