I had a trimmed full beard for 20+ years.Everyone liked it.
Everyone called me"Skunkman"because I have blond hair!My
mustache&below my bottom lip,&the center of my chin was blonde
The rest was reddish.A few years ago;I worked a security job;
where we subcontracted; for Liberty Mutual;mostly.My supervisor
asked me to shave it off;take my stud earring,off at work and get
my hair trimmed shorter.My wife said;"I don't understand;you're
the same person;if you have a beard or not.!I said"I know that &
you know that;but apparently;they don;t!"Hence;no beard.When
I was younger;I would have cared.Now;I don't give a shit.I'll play
their silly game.I know that I'm still me! Irish
P.S.Let them win the battle;as long as you win the war!!
