Ask Sparks - Facial Hair Edition

Evil

Olympic golden boy Michael Phelps sucked ass at a recent swim meet. Granted, it wasn't a major meet and many of the top swimmers weren't even there, so not winning gold is probably not a huge deal.

But I was confused when I saw the picture of him in the pool... sporting a beard! Now everyone knows how swimmers shave themselves down to look feminine, I mean, to swim faster. Question for Sparks: Is Phelps not shaving his beard a big deal in terms of time-savings in the pool?

Whether it is or it isn't... it just seems to me that he totally doesn't give a crap. How hard is it to pull out a razor a shave your face? Most people do it every single day.
