One year my dad shaved his beard without consulting my mom. He left his mustache. She didn't speak to him for 2 days. I get it. He looked like a thinner Oliver Hardy.

I am just starting, trying, pretty lame though. I will not really know till 3 months in, at least. And I got to get past the first 3-4 weeks, typically I do not last longer than that. But I am optimistic this time...
If I can make it 3 months, I am going to purchase a Guild 12 string, made in RI. These things seem related.

When my daughter was young, maybe 4 ish, I shaved before work and when I got home, she recognized me, but was a little scared for some reason.
Like the shirt ----- and the Pin.

Should have looked closer. Thought it was a lapel pin by Guild.

When I met my wife I had a full beard. She never knew me without one. About 10 years in I had a job interview near where she worked so we agreed to meet for lunch. Called her from the lobby and said I was there, and to come out and meet me. What I didn’t tell her was that I shaved my beard for the interview.
She walked within 12 inches of me, right past where I was sitting, and out the front door. Didn’t even recognize me.

I've had a well trimmed, short beard since 1987 and a few before that I shaved off for one reason or another. It's permanent now, all grey. My wife always liked it. The one time I shaved it before 1987, she was pissed. I grew it right back.

I finally figured out why I thought this photo was familiar, Woody. The angle, your expression - it's the kid in the Van Halen "Hot for Teacher" video!

I had a full beard for a short time but it’s too dangerous playing harmonica with those wild hairs getting caught in the cover plates. Ouch.
I’ve settled now on this Fu Manchu as a harmonica friendly beard style.

Star Trek, The Gamesters of TriskelionI have a full beard right now, but I want to try this style sooooo much. Maybe I'll give it a go around Halloween.

Some things never change, they just get longer beards and cast iron nards.

I'm super jealous of his Fu Manchu.
