Ask Amy: Attention imbalance bothers grandchild
I think the record for not noticing was about a week.
The only shave which got a nearly instantaneous reaction was when I shaved off my mustache.
My wife started laughing and told me I looked like my brother.
– Hirsute in Denver
Dear Hirsute: I’ve received many responses from men who report that they’ve shaved off beards or mustaches, but the people around them can’t quite put their finger on what’s different.
What I appreciate is that everyone who has responded says that they laugh about it.
