You know I have noticed that with age and all the water that hits the shower stall, that they do have a tendency to 'shrink'.
My wife likes when I have the goatee type beard but she hates moustaches. Since I'm not allowed to wear a beard (or long sideburns) at work I just go clean-shaven. I shave before I shower so I can wash all the 'extra' shaving cream off in the shower.
