Re-DeMosesing

Eight years ago I was backpacking through South America and grew myself a nice, healthy, 50-day beard. I looked like a modern-day biblical Moses. When I finally shaved it off (it wasn't easy) and sent some pictures around, my friend Tom called it the 'DeMosesing Process'. Since then we have been using the term as a substitute for just doing your thing or relaxing (e.g. 'I haven't had a proper holiday in 3 years. I really need some DeMosesing time').

This time I shaved a bit earlier, not reaching the 'food-in-my-beard' phase I reached in South America. I had to give up because I figured a man should be able to kiss his wife, at least on their honeymoon (apparently beards itch. Who knew?). So, after around 38 days I went through the process again, and coined a new (meaningless) expression - ReDeMosesing!

I don't understand? How come the overshirt comes off with the beard but not the undershirt?
