    I’m a huge fan of silly hypotheticals. Today, I found a couple of cool videos of experts theorizing how they think Superman shaves his beard.

    I’d never considered that Superman’s beard would be made of anything other than normal hair. But I sure should’ve. After all, he’s not human. Every part of him is tough and rough and harder than steel. The hair on his head and body is undoubtedly coarser than our own hair.

    But we know from comic books and movies that he has grown a full beard, so the question is raised, “How does he shave?” See some highly inventive answers from a few experts below:

    Here’s Bill Nye’s answer:

     

    Comic Book Expert Kevin Smith’s answer:

    In anticipation of the upcoming Man of Steel movie, Gillette jumped on the fact that the trailer shows a rather scruffy Superman and thought it would be fun to gather a group of knowledgeable folks to ask them the rather time-tested question of “How does Superman shave?” The results can be seen here, and we talked to Kevin Smith last week, but the next theory comes from educator and science guy, Bill Nye.

    You can see Nye’s theory in the video above, but he was kind of enough to expand on his thoughts with us:

    GeekDad: I really like your theory. It seems to have a lot of validity to it, however, the idea of grinding the beard off my face horrifies me a bit.

    Bill Nye: Do you shave?

    GD: Every day, yes.

    BN: Are you troubled by bringing a very sharp object to your skin every day?

    GD: I’m not …
