Thank you for saying so...I admit that being cleanly showered and shaved is a great feeling for me...I feel like I could conquer the world (at least until I step out into it!)
I grew up in a military environment, back when beards were discouraged in the military, though I think they let them grow now. I disagree with that, but I will say, those Special Forces guys do look bad-ass with their beards!
I grew a beard in high school and shaved it off the night before heading to Army boot camp, knowing I would not be able to have a beard for a long time. I have a mustache now and have had a mustache for my 24 year marriage, cut it off one time, wife said she felt like she was sleeping with another man, longest 2 weeks I have EVER had, wont be doing that again. :)
