My hubby has a goatee, has had for years n years and I'd divorce him if he ever shaved it off again lol.
He has had it since around 1988 / '89 and the one time I nagged him into removing it, just to see what it would feel like to kiss someone clean shaven, I HATED it !!!
It was like kissing a stranger uuughh!
I guess with a goatee you get the best of both worlds. The cheeks are nice and smooth but the chins a bit rough ;0)
Ok, I can understand if men go through a phase when they want to try growing some facial hair, ie- moustaches etc.
But a full fledged beard that covers half of the face ??
That is just unacceptable.
I grew a beard once for some God unknown reason, and my pullabilty went from about 95% success to about 10% so off it came flaming quickly. Looked dreadful too.
