Hi there Truman,

I think we're on the same route. I shaved my beard except my sideburns and soul-patch last December 24, 2013 and since then I've been letting it grow again. Nice handlebar style you got there. I might try that soon when my mustache gets enough length. It does look funny but in a good way though. ^___^
