I've had a goatee for nearly 8 years, and then when I was moving into my 1st house about 5 years ago, I let it go into a full beard that I keep neatly trimmed now...seems I follow a tradition of the men in my family, as my father did the same, and my brother did too. I plan on keepin' the beard, so reason to not want it. I think I look rather dashing, and a bit swarthy...
