Facial hair - yes or no?

[AllegroRondo]

Around Thanksgiving, my wife asked me to give the facial hair a try, at least through Christmas. Now Im wondering if I should bother keeping it. She said she's OK either way. What sayeth the lounge?

2. How does she feel about her, um... sensitive areas?

That's the crucial question

3. Ha!

(actually, it's a good question) ;-)

I like the facial hair on you - I like facial hair in general on men.

Thanks to you both for the suggestions in my "marriage" thread. :hi:

11. Full beard probably wouldn't work too well on you, but what you have now looks good.

12. lose the beard, keep the mustache and grow it out into handlebars

15. My daughter actually suggested that

But Im not sure if the Rollie Fingers look is for me.

13. I just cut mine off (beard, that is) three weeks ago

People have said it makes me look 10 years younger. Of course the beard had some gray in it - Ok, A LOT OF GRAY - but I still miss it.

When I first shaved it off I thought, I've lost my mojo! But of course I didn't! LOL!

My advice: Keep it a while and see how you like it. If you decide to cut it off, do it in stages - keep a goatee and 'stache for a while.

14. hubby has a 'soul patch', I was all "wtf!" till I Wikipedia'd it...

who knew http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soul_patch :shrug: when I noticed young people calling him, "Bro" he said I should grow one so that I'd be cool too :spray: I like it

16. Whichever way takes less maintenance.

You look good either way, your wife doesn't care, and that leaves only the matter of whether shaving every day or trimming it less frequently is easier for you.

17. I think you look better without

Some men look better with beards, some don't. I think you have a face that doesn't need a beard.

If you do decide to go for a beard, go for a full beard. The goatee look is so turn of the century.
