Often these colors appear all at the same time 😃 \*\* I have the same problem - although the missus seems to like it which is a good thing… More goatees than I expected - carry on… Grim ---

Full beard for about the last 13 years apart from the time when I had a shaving accident while very drunk and had to shave it off and grow it back. That was the worst 2 days of my life 😉 Once it’s not too short it doesn’t seem to get complaints from the fairer sex. Would I shave it off? At the moment I would say never but who knows maybe I’ll get pissed of with it at some stage. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/facial-hair/128814.md?page=2)
