Well yes, the growing of the beard is annoying for a while, what with the itching and the dirty looks from people and the disapproving comments from some, but once you have the beard, it's all worth it. I had a goatee through most of high school, ever since I could grow one.
Also, can I say I'm pleasantly surprised with the feedback I'm getting on my first thread? Thank you, internet friends for not just getting angry at me and calling me a n00b fag for this.
I'm a goatee man myself. I had a neatly trimmed beard for a while a la Russel Crowe in Gladiator (style wise anyway, didn't necessarily increase my brawling skills

) but it became a harrowing experience whenever a trim was required! I lacked the funding a the time to buy a proper beard trimmer.
I recently got out of a relationship where I was clean shaven. I cannot describe how much I loathe looking at my round, boyish face without facial hair... but it was either that or give herself a vicious beard rash.
Now I find myself questioning my decision, considering subsequent events.
Was I right to shave it off for my ex, or am I disgrace who should have his man cards taken from him?
Any constructive, non-flaming comments welcome.
I was so proud of that goatee... :-/
But... as much as I loved it for being so well grown out and trimmed to the Nth degree.... It's kinda cool watching it grow back
Like spring has come again
