You’re looking @ something that hasn’t happened in nine years.
I was in the bathroom this morning and said, “Why not?” Here is the result. What do you think? Should the goatee come back or do you think the clean shaven look is the one for me? I invite your non-binding comments.
It is my face, you know

EEEKKK! Scary! Definitely, bring the goatee back!

The more I see it, the better I like it. It’s very George Clooney, you know? Besides, this is the face I first fell in love with.

There sure is a dramatic difference! It’s amazing what a little stubble can do. Personally I’m in favor of the facial hair. Maybe it’s because I’ve gotten used to it, or maybe it’s because of that extra serious look on your face.

We need a profile shot. Then I can decide.

Hmmm…. while my reaction isn’t quite as strong as my sweet, soft-spoken wife’s, I think I’m with Dave on this one. I prefer the goatee, but probably just because it’s what I’m used to. My mom understands Jen’s perspective, she loves it when my Dad shaves his beard – that’s the man she fell in love with.

The verdict is in. The goatee is back. I can’t handle the razor burn! :-0

I hear you there Mike! I dread the thought of shaving under my nose.

Good call Mike. I shaved mine once and Veronika felt like she was robbing the cradle every night.
