Forget about the razor. Beard is the ultimate fashion accesory among great explorers (and hippies).
I thought the same. But there is one small detail that puts everything in question: with a beard, I won't suntan under the beard, and when I will arrive in France I will have the most ridiculous suntan mark in the world !
I agree with the suntan ... but forget about the electric razor, a traditionnal one will be enough!
And to protect your backpack bag, I suggest you to buy a kind of "housse de vélo" which you can buy at 100-yen shops. It is grey, with an elastic around, and it was reaaaaly useful against the snow in Kyushu - so I guess it will be good against rain.

Then it's a good reason to keep your beard until december (^_^). And dont' cut your hair neither.
yeah, don't cut your hair : with the sun it will become platine blond and you will look like Guillemin ... ah, "blondes" will never change! :D
You forgot to mention your guitar!! Anyway I hope to see you soon with long hair, piercings and tatoos.
By the way, I have been hired as an intern by Lafarge and I am preparing a trip this summer trough Asia to visit their business units and to make kind of an internal audit. Not as adventurous as yours, but quite interesting too: I am (perhaps) going to Séoul, Shangaï, Kuala Lumpur, Indonesia... Not everybody can be a legend!
Have fun

I agree, keep your beard until December, especially if you plan to go to South America, nobody cares about that!
Be carefull, long hair and beard aren't welcome now in China.
Take pleasure, make pictures, and send us news asap
You don't know what you want everyone ! So I decided for myself and adopted the hairless mode (5mm length and closely shaved). Of course, I have lost some of my coolness but what would I do for a beautiful suntan... Fortunately, I can gain some points in the cool attitude scale with my guitare ;)
