I'm getting very tempted to shave completely now, I feel the start of my demise was the moment I picked up the clippers to trim! I want a big beard and will have one one day but I feel unable to undertake such a task with my current employment. So I have this constant battle in my head, why bother having a nice neat short beard when I'm not going to be able to grow it out for a good 30 years!? But on the other hand, any beard is better than no beard, right?
