We were taken to the mall, and shaving still was used in my beard and my best man’s beard against our wishes. For the wedding to hold. It took me time to heal up ..it hurts. So people keeping beard, no heaven for you ooooo You people would know the pain I go through everytime someone comes visiting and checks through our photo album.
