    I don't get that crazy with it. I had a drug test once where they had to take armpit hair and it was hugely uncomfortable.

    I do not carry a beard in the winter and keep my hair trimmed up. Mainly because I like the cold on my face and it's more comfortable with a mask. However, I don't think it smells enough to be an issue.

    I have a buddy who shaves his head before a hunt.

    I trim it up just as a general curtousey to the wife. And I shower w/ a scent control body wash including the hair
