Goatees are pretty awesome. I sported a mustache-less goatee since I was 18 and I feel like it became part of my identity over the 3 years I had it. I was only clean shaven like 4-5 times during that 3 year period and every time I did it, people would look at me all puzzled and ask what was different (they eventually noticed). I currently trimmed down my short beard into the "Johnny Depp" goatee + stache' and am loving it. I might go back to a full beard though, I'm still torn between styles. Anyway goatees rock so enjoy it.
