.......(MUSIC)
TR: If you've thought of growing a beard for the winter, but can't, maybe you should consider a rechargeable electric beard from Nortech. It slips on over your ears and keeps your face warm even on the coldest days, then stores easily in your jacket pocket when you wish to be without it. One size fits all, even women.
SS: Winter is so different for me, now that I have a rechargeable electric beard. At first, I was worried about what people would think, but in Minnesota....in January....people don't look twice about a bearded woman. It's easy to remove when I get to the office, and it doesn't chafe my skin. And you know something? I never thought I'd enjoy wearing a beard --- but I do!
TR: The electric beard is made of tiny wires curled to look like real whiskers, available in fourteen different colors, and powered by pocket battery pack.
GK: Not user trimmable -- must be returned to factory for trimming- may cause navigational errors if operated aboard aircraft- not recommended for use near microwaves or high tension power lines.
