I know what you mean Sugarsprinkles. When hubby first started shaving his off I didn't like it either. He used to only shave it off in the summer for some odd reason. Now he keeps it shaved most of the time and I have grown used to it. It used to be a big shock though when he would shave it and I wasn't expecting it. he would come out of the bathroom and I wouldn't recgonize him.
