Re: academics and PFY's who can bearly produce stubble!
To avoid possible embarrassment: Do not try an image search for "shaved bear".
From the safety of a home machine, I've tried this, all in the public interest. And Google deliver, lots of picture of shaved bears. Proper, shit-in-the-woods bears that have been given a very close trimming. And I can tell those who choose not to look, that a shaved shit-in-the-woods bear looks just like a small elephant with a lion's head, all dyed black. Heraldic illustrators will be delighted to know that not all of their work is made up. HOWEVER, you're right that there were some images that were of shaved bears of the sort that (probably) don't shit in the woods, and you probably wouldn't want popping up on your work computer.
As an act of public service, here's a safe link to a reduced hair bear, although the article says that the hair went on holiday of its own accord, without involving any trimming:
