Thanks Maria and Gil!

The beard is 30+ inches long and at 8 inches a year that would be 4 years in a perfect world to grow it back. The way it is now its quite manageable. Its braids easily, it air dries in 30 seconds. My face feels good with no bumps or ingrown hairs. (shaving is really irritating). No problem to make it neat. Hairspray and moustache wax. Even for corporate office visits. I will never ever uses a shaver. I don't care for the trim thing or barbers who always do something of their own. So it will have to grow again and it does go through some aweful stages where is sweeps sideways and I look like a bum. Of cause "I look older" but whats wrong with that? It gets me senior discounts, LOL. The Santa jobs are priceless.
