I read once on another forum that hair, be it head hair or facial hair, helps -mones last longer; as clothes do (to a lesser extent). If you’re the lone wolf type would you guys suggest I get rid of the beard?

Shaving is such a hassle though! Gonna blunt out another Gillette blade shaving once! No clippers to prep with!

Or would Shine/Honesty/Openness counteract the lone-wolf/beard combo?

Thanks guys;

Matthew

PS: Have about 2.5 weeks growth going.

I’ve heard that in a primitive sense: beard = masculinity = desirable.

NOW at the same time, it depends on the beard. Guys here (college aged) tend to have beards so they can be lazy – and they are SCRAGGLY things. Then again, I saw my ex-boyfriend over break, who somewhat grew a beard (one of those constant five o’clock shadows) and… yeah. It was very, very nice, I have to say.

I agree with Lor – pictures 🙂
