Becker-san: should I shave my nasty beard? or let it get longer and nastier?
This may sound like a sissy question, but I think at least for your own consideration, you should first ask yourself “How much does Lindsey hate it?” The reason that this should be your primary concern is that she is the one who is going to give you the most shit for it. If she doesn’t mind, or the amount of pestering she gives you about it is tolerable, then I’d say that the answer is up to you.
As someone who is incapable of growing any kind of substantial facial hair, I’d advise against it because I’m bitter and resentful.
I promised 100 words or more, but this is really a “yes” or “no” question, and I don’t have a good answer. The choice is yours sir.
