I’ve been thinking about shaving the beard off and going clean-shaven for a while, just to see how it feels and maybe switch things up a bit. I’ve had some version of facial hair since high school, so it’s basically been part of my identity for years now. Part of me is curious what I’d look like without it again, even though I remember feeling like I had a baby face the last time I tried. Still, lately I’ve noticed a few more grey hairs popping up in the beard, and every time I catch them in the mirror it’s a reminder that I’m not getting any younger. Maybe a reset would be refreshing, or maybe I’d hate it and grow it right back. Either way, it’s just hair, and it grows back. So I’m torn—bold change or stick with what works? Who really cares, right?
