'Tis true...it is all gone now. And my hair. I am really sad. Unfortunately, I have to raise $15,000 for a magazine we are doing at school. I couldn't do it with a beard :p

...I feel a little lonely, to be honest :(

Ok... let's see pictures! You know as "proof" :D:D:D

A before and after would be great.

Wow, interesting. I am going the other way. I have never had a beard in my life. My wife suggested it might be neat, so two weeks ago I started letting it grow. I *love* not having to shave each morning now. Just tidy it up a bit when I shower and life is good!

I've had a beard since I was about 16. Don't know what I'd do if I had to shave it off, don't know if I could look at myself anymore.

I don't grow much facial hair, so I can get away with shaving one a week. Now as for the moustache, that has been with me forever.

Shaving is the most annoying routine task I have to do every morning. I just started geting mine lasered off. It looks really bad a few days after but it clears up. Only 6 more treatments to go.

I miss the days where I only had to shave once every two weeks....

Now I shave about two times a week, but I look really scruffy in between those two times :bomb:

I used to go out with this girl who REALLY hated facial hair, so I had to shave on a more regular basis if I ever wanted to see her. Yea, that relationship didn't last too long, LOL

Man, consider yourself lucky. I have about an eighth of an inch every morning. I finally broke down and bought a Braun electric shaver that cleans itself - that's god's gift to us ape-like homosapiens that look like Cousin It if we don't shave at least once every day. It seems like the only place I don't get hair is my back - well, and now that I'm approaching 30, my head! I remember a time when I couldn't see my scalp, but now I'm starting to get that freshly-waxed forehead shine.

I've had a goatee/mustache thing going on since I was 17, I've shaved it off a couple of times since then, but I don't look like "me" without it. That's my only saving grace from having to do my whole face every day.

I'll be one of the bearded ones. I hate shaving, and my dad, and most of my uncles have full, thick beards. So I'll probably be joining the bearded club.

I haven't had a beard in two years :'(. The Marine Corps demands a clean shave daily, where's the fun in that?

Know how you feel (about the beard). I shaved mine off a number of years back after 15 years with one - was a weird feeling! I felt naked without it.

I loved having a beard, but I shaved everything but the moustache to see how it would look. The moustache was cool, but I looked like a creep with it. Now I'm clean shaven and I like it so far.

I had to shave off my beard for a job once and hated not having it. As soon as I left there, I grew it back and have had it since. I feel for you, man. :)
