Well thank you, but I want it longer. My wife can't stand the idea of me braiding it, so I have no choice but to do just that. She hates the whole biker trash look, and while I'm not like that anymore, I want to keep up appearances, although I have changed my position on hand and neck tattoos. I love them, but they are a bit to trashy, at my age. So the beard I can still pull off, and if I don't like it, I can cut it back some. Can't erase neck ink. Can't really hid it either.
