I've worn a beard at various points in life, but currently am cleanshaven most of the time. I usually don't shave on weekends or vacations, partly because it's easier and partly because my wife likes me a bit scruffy.

However, I wear a CPAP for my sleep apnea, and too much facial hair can mess with the seal on the mask.

Had a moustache all my adult life, except for when I met the wife and she wanted me to shave it, then decided she didn't like it!

I gave up on shaving, despite how good a shave I had in the morning, by noon I'd look like I forgot to have one,,,,,so I just trim it down to designer stubble when the critters start nesting in it......!

Started some agency work a few years ago in one of the big chain stores, shaved and showered at 5am and around noon the same day my new manager told me I needed to make sure I shave to keep in line with store policy on acceptable grooming.

I didn't last 2 weeks.....

Clean shaven, most days never more than 2 days and that is if I'm not leaving the farm.  Close hair cut military left over just enough to comb easy  to care for.  My brother has had a full beard since he came home from Afghanistan in 1967 and long hair always needing a cutting.

I posted earlier I had a goatee. I've had the same bald head/goatee for 15 years now.
My son wants me to Be Obi-Wan-Ken obi from Star wars for Halloween, so I'm growing the beard out, but last night I shaved my head again, so now It's just a beard.

Not sure if i like it or not, so far no comments other than the wife who simply said "Ugh."

(She hates change!) :rolleyes:

Carfule, your ol' lady might like the idea of that nose ring!

On the other hand, this was what I looked like when we started dating in the early Eighties -- that is, before I could even grow a beard.

(And coincidentally, this is my ID card from the intro blacksmithing classes I took at PCA with Fred Crist.)
