Happy belated Tom. Man that is old. Lol. I totally understand sleeping with a beard and the quirks that come with it. I tend to fall asleep on my back, and now that my beard has some substantial length, I find myself making an unconscious effort to Always fall asleep on my back, as my bed beard is terrible if I really sleep hard on my sides. It is a terrible look to have all the hair on my cheeks pushed upward instead of being brushed downward. I also went to the beach for spring break with my daughter, and we spent a lot of time swimming in the pool. I for whatever reason find myself also trying to avoid submerging my head and my beard very often. Don't really know why either. Was wondering if I was the only one that was reticent to constantly dunk the beard. I'm okay with being weird if I am lol. Lastly, if I get really bad beard, no matter what I try to do, nothing will restore it's vitality without a warm shower and a blow dry. As always, thanks for the time you invest helping others on this board. I doubt I would be where I am today beard wise without people like you on this site. Onward outward and downward.
