Musings of a first-time beard owner - feel free to advise

[njpaddy]

I'm kinda liking the look of my shaggy goatee. I stopped shaving at Thanksgiving, but after hating the beard on my neck, I went to a goatee. It's still a pain to trim, and keep out of my mouth, but my wife and youngest daughter (40s) like it. It could use a trim or shaping as one side is a bit thicker than the other, but I'm not spending $40+. I'll have to get my wife to take a pic for posting. I can't use a cell phone, or see good enough.

Just keep the stache. Looks good

Shaved it all off and have gotten back to shaving once a week. My stubble is very soft an fine, kind of like flocking.
