When my husband retired, I finally convinced him to grow a beard. He hates shaving, so he was happy to oblige. I love how he looks with a beard. I tell him it makes him look "kind" and avuncular.

It does seem to make younger women trust him. They often ask him for advice. This attention causes envy in his beardless friends.
