Honest hair opinion, Im a bit traumatized.

[Boanerges]

I like it It is always hard when the one person whose opinion really mattered has made it very clear they dont like it. It looks good and maybe it will grow on them. If you look at my profile you can see that I usually keep a longer beard. Every now and again I get tired of it and shave it off and start over. My wife hates it when I shave it all off and I always feel bad when I do it so I kinda know where you are coming from and feel your pain. Maybe it's just because they are used to seeing us a certain way. Not so much that it looks bad, we just look different. At least that is what I tell myself
