I've had a beard over half my life . . . . I shaved it off once many years ago; then realized that the reason I grew it was that I hated taking 5 minutes out of my day to shave. I keep it neatly trimmed, though - about 1/4 to 1/2 inch in length (#5 on the trusty old Wahl), and shave from about the jaw line down. Funny . . . I've been married 20 years, and my wife has never once seen me without a beard. There's still more pepper than salt in it, but the ratio grows lower every day. My beard is a lot grayer than my hair; I'd probably look years younger if I shaved it off.
And being unemployed over two years now . . . I can certainly afford the 5 minutes to shave.
