I've had a beard for about 15 years now, shaved it off around Christmas (to maintain balance in the Universe with Lube growing one) but wife soon decreed it must return.

Apparently she prefers the old looking grey guy to the fat younger looking one. A beard can hide a multitude of sins, or is that chins... however that doesn't look like it's an issue for Lube judging by the pics.

Lube, could a beard be a problem at some of the facilities you get around to in your work? I'm thinking Scott airpak for sour gas well / compressor, if you ever go near one of those the safety boss might make you shave it off.
