Not sure at this point. It would have to be a pretty serious reason.
I have had a beard off and on for many years and now that I'm retired there is no one to impress by going clean shaven. For now I am letting the beard grow and am quite enjoying it. One advantage to my beard is that it comes in a definite gray and I find that people are better at judging my age now that I'm leaving the beard alone. Longer hair, long beard, I'm okay being a 60 plus hippy.
I was out walking the other day and some random young thing goes "great beard"...I never get comments when I'm clean shaven.
I shaved it last year when I had a skin cancer removed. I enjoyed the clean-shaven look for a while, but I got tired of shaving every day. I don't consider my beard to be an essential part of me. It's just a look. I am puzzled by the fact that it's been gray/white for many years (along with all my body hair), but my head hair gets darker. I have had people tell me they assume that I dye my hair ("No, I don't even always comb it").
I shaved off my impressively lengthy beard for Movember charity about two years ago. I started work at a new place and thought it would be good to engage in it.
Wish I hadn't - I only raised about 30. One other chap raised 300 for a shaving off his standard length beard. Other participants did half hearted attempted attempts at growing a goatee for the event.
