I always wore my hair short. If not my scalp starts itching when I sweat. It's cheaper to shave it than to go to a barber anyway.

And the goatee is to keep water from running down the front of my rain suit. Dead serious. When I was clean shaven, I'd always have water running down my neck when I rode in the rain. Got a goatee, don't have to worry about it anymore.

And I can't grow a full beard. It's splotchy, and it itches. So I just go with the goatee.

 

Shaved my head 25 years ago... still too this day... back then the ladies enjoyed something different ... hair don,t grow so well and without a goatee look like casper the friendly ghost

Long Goatee came in last 10 years

 

Holy crap this thread is still going, good to know I'm not the only one with a red dome because I didn't wear a doo rag.
