    advice .... none, except if you want to go scuba diving then losing the tache part will help to keep water out of your mask

    discussion: i grew a beard well over 20 years ago, partly out of curiosity and partly to wind up my GF. so what happened .... she didn't like it, dumped me some months later (would be fun to blame the beard but i don't think it was the reason), i never once shaved it off tho. It's been in various states/styles/topiaried/wildness and is now kept short. oh and my better half likes it.

      As one who has sported a "mug shrub" for 30 years, I say go for it.

      BUT, if you are going to do it, best to go all out and make it a ZZ Top style soup strainer (ironically, the gent on the right, whose name is Frank Beard, is the only member of the band without one):

                I have a beard and I occasionally shave it off. When I do, I feel naked without it and it doesn't half itch, at a certain stage, when growing it back.

                Although it is grey, it counter balances my ever-balding pate and short cut hair

                      You watch - soon I'll be digging my old leather jackets out of the cupboard, learning to play the guitar and thinking about getting back into biking
