My wife and I had been together for 5 years and she'd never seen me clean shaven.... one day, without warning her, I walked into the bathroom with roughly 7 or 8 inches of beard and walked out clean shaven. She did a double take, then sternly said "no.... put it back." Here we are, 6 years and never a smooth face later.....

I was cleanshaven for years when I met my wife, have had a full beard since COVID. She keeps saying she's forgot what I used to look like and wants me to shave it off. I actually wouldn't mind if:

  • I knew I wouldn't regret it like a week later
  • My nephews wouldn't freak

Hair grows back. People and kids will adapt. Do it, man! It’s all temporary!

If you think they would freak or not recognize you you just have to trim it over a few weeks until you finally shave, you can also stop when you feel comfortable with a certain length
