The fairer sexes attitude to facial hair

I can’t grow a beard. Someone one told me, years ago, that a goatee would suit me.
“Oh yeah?” says I “I’ll show you!”

For 2 weeks or more I diligently shaved myself a goatee. But my facial hair is patchy, at least 4 different colours and there’s only about 4 hairs available to join the tache bit to the chin bit. I actually look like a vagrant.
After 2 weeks we all agreed that I was right and I should shave.

Thing is, I’m lazy. And Mrs PP prefers me freshly shaven so I’m caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.

I did the beard thing a couple of weeks ago. I think I looked rather splendid, as did mrs_oab. One aborted snog however and I was sent to the bathroom with a fresh razor…shame.
