Great looking beard you had!

I don't not get the mindset at all of shaving off the yeard. When a guy goes through all the trials and tribulations to grow a beard for a year, why on earth would he shave it off??? I can understand trimming it up to make it look more mainstream, but shaving? Makes no sense at all to me.

Patience shall be rewarded!
