From the FWIW Department...

I've had facial hair since I was 23, in 1987. I've either worn the full beard, mustache, or goatee. I'm currently going goatee and have for four years. I like it. Most everybody else seems to, too. And I think I look better with facial hair.

Rob, it's a personal decision.

BTW, I think shaved balls is stupid. Shaved chests? Stupid. Shaved legs (on guys)? Stupid.
