About once a month I endure looking at myself in the mirror long enough to trim the beard short. With electric sheers it only takes a couple of minutes, shorter than when I shaved regularly. Having a beard saves me time and I probably look better, at least to myself. Anyway, I've had one most of my adult life and my kids wouldn't know me without one.

I figure folkies have beards because they've better things to do than shave, and need to save their cash for guitar strings.

Peace, Mooh.
