I wake up and go to the bathroom to shave, and before I know it, I'm cutting into my goatee. I couldn't believe it!!! I still don't know what it looks like yet though. See, since I was 15 I can count on both hands the amount of times I've been shaved completely clean, so where the goatee WAS, it's now redder than hell and still looks like I have it.
I don't know how long this will last, but I guess I'll just go with it for the weekend at least and see the reactions I get.
-
I've done that before.
Cant even remember the last time I did it. Had to have been at least 4 or 5 years ago.
I do remember getting a compliment afterwards from a cutey at work that it made me look younger.
I grew it right back though.
Funny thing is, since I shaved the head I've had the urge to shave off the goatee just to see what it looked like.
-
Awesome bro!
Just kiddin'...
must have been a hidden desire to go smooth or somethin' though...
but i dig the bald head Mr Clean thing these days..
post a pic of the new bald face and head bro..
live with it for a while..
then the goat will be a nice friend to visit again! ;)
-
I did that with an eyebrow once. Went to use my beard trimmer to trim the brows and didn't realize in time that the guard wasn't on.
Post a pic of your clean-shaven mug so we can see what it looks like.
-
I'll post a pic in a day or two once the redness subsides... it's just been over 2 years since I was clean-shaven so it's not used to it...
But I'm off to Rib-Fest now, unfortunately not in my truck though... I went to jump in it to head to a friends to change the brakes and well, it started squealing like mad and smoking... The A/C pump seized up and blew the serpentine belt, so I got it half ripped apart cause I never use A/C anyway, but I am without wheels for the start of my long weekend... >:(

Know what you mean. Hurts, doesn't it?

And that hurts even more. :(
-
Yeah, all it's costing me is $25 for a new belt and time to disconnect the A/C unit, pull it off and put the new belt on, but it's the last thing I needed. The good thing is that it didn't happen on my way to or from Chicago, cause the spare belt I carried was wor with A/C so it would have been too long. Look on the bright side of things right? O0

Alright, so here it is... Gone the way of Mr. Clean!!!

You look like Michael Rosenbaum. It really looks good. How do you like it?
-
Well, there's still some redness, but last night when my friend picked me up he didn't notice it right away. It wasn't until we were half way to London that he turned to say something then said "Holy Sh!t!!! You shaved your goatee!!! It's so red I still didn't notice it!"
I don't know though, I guess I'll leave it for a few days at least to see what everyone else says. I'm going to swing by work in a few days to see what people say there too.
Rosenbaum eh? Really?

I've had the same thing happen -- a lot of people didn't seem to notice when I shaved mine -- just like a lot of people didn't seem to notice when I shaved my head. People don't pay as much attention to our appearances as we think they do. They may notice something is different, but they can't quite put their finger on what it is.

Yeah, really. I'm neither pro- nor anti- facial hair. Some guys look better with it and some look better without. The Mr. Clean thing works for you.
-
It looks good Jer.
-
Jer,
The Mr Clean look does look good on you, though I am partial to facial hair myself. But both work on you. By the way, Happy Simcoe Day! O:O
-
Man Jer, gotta tell you. You wear the Mr. Clean look very well bro.

You look great without the goaty, keep it that way. I think all bald men look better without facial hair. No need to compensate! But please don't complain to me about a truck breaking down. I drive this:

As we all know, U don't know the meaning of "breaking down" until you drive Alfa Romeo, amature >:D! Yestereday the clutch blew. Every week is a surprise in AR, consider yourself lucky.
Cheers Dave

Knew I'd get you to respond...
I was going to put a disclaimer that I may be a bit bias...
but where's the fun in that? ;)
Jer you do look good with the bald face and bald head!
Razor..go shave the sh!t off your chin already, will ya?!

Can't. I just got it back. :D

Aww, simple man...you will...
you always come back to the "clean" side of things..
why put off your destiny to be a "Mr. Clean" bald dude?
Fighting is futile! ;D

See, this is a "is the glass half empty or half full" scenario. You could just as easily say that I always end up growing it back. Remember the comment Schro's wife made about looking like a thumb? Some fuzz on the chin helps to prevent that. ;)

Hmmm, so you just end up being a hairy thumb...
doesn't having a hairy thumb mean you, well, um...
never mind that's palms...
Since when do you listen to anyone 'dis-en" on the sly look anyways >:(..
when it's working for your want of some face fur, eh?
-

So what..... now he looks 15?
Kidding kidding Jer!!!
Actually it looks good clean shaven --- and even though I occasionally sport one myself .... the Van Dyke/Goatee really is a face mullet :D
-

When there's some truth in what they're saying. :D

It does look good Jer, and you do look younger! :)

I'm guessing that at his age, looking younger isn't really a priority.

LOL. ;D
I actually had a goatee for a year. It looked OK on me, but I just didn't like it.
Hey Jer, how much younger than you is your clean shaven brother? 8)
-
I just did the same thing, of course mine was mostly all gray so my age really showed :Xo! so it's back to mr clean myself.
-
Its my fault telling him he looked evil, like the devil with that red beard LOL, looks great now
-
Just caught this thread, been trying to catch up here.
Jer, the clean look suits you well, I say keep it.
I have gone the goatee free and clean look myself. Did it last week. It's been more humid here (monsoon season), well as humid as it can be for AZ, lol.
I just got tired of it, as I usually do this time of year. So I'm going to keep it shaved for a while until it gets cooler. Probably grow it back in the Fall or Winter.

Nice way to do it...different look, different season...

Thanks, BA. I do enjoy a change now and then, and the goat just starts to feel itchy and annoying this time of year.
And I do agree with you, there's no way to feel slick and smooth like being totally clean.
