As left handed as your statement may be, trust me on this much: I'm far uglier without the beard. You can't hurt my feelings because I'm not vain, at least not physically.
You're happily married and your wife loves you the way you are.
Likewise, I am happily married, not interested in other men, and there's no need for me to comment on your looks.
I'll take your word for how you look without the beard. LOL
