My Husband Shaved His Face And I’m Kind Of In Shock

Ryan, Kaitlyn and I went to Target after dinner to pick up a few things, and when we got back, Chris came out of the house with his hands over his face. Ryan asked him what was wrong.

Apparently, when a man exposes the skin of his face to air for the first time in TWENTY ONE YEARS, it hurts.  He’s been wearing some kind of facial hair since 1990. In the winter, he wears a full beard:

And then for summer, he shaves it down to a goatee:

 

TWENTY ONE YEARS, people. That’s how long it’s been since I’ve seen my husband’s bare lip and chin. He looks like a different person! It’s going to take some getting used to. See for yourself:

Shock.

    OMG – I soooo get this! My husband grew a beard 23 years ago, and now he is so gray that when he shaves it close I freak out because it looks like his beard is gone! Enjoy your time with “Another Man.”

    My aunt has never seen her husband without a full beard. They’ve been married since the late ’70s, I believe.

      No! I was at Target with the kids, he decided to trim his beard, took out a chunk on one side by accident and couldn’t get it evened out, so he shaved it all off to start over :) I’m still catching myself looking at him and wondering where his beard went! lol

    Like others, I was curious if you know he was doing it before? What does your hubby think now? Enjoy getting to know your “new” hubby!

      No, he decided to trim his beard while we were at Target, accidentally took off a chunk on one side and couldn’t even it out, so he decided to shave it all off and start over! I asked him today if it was weird to look in the mirror and he said no, it’s my face LOL. I can’t WAIT for the beard to grow back in!

    I really don’t know why some men have mustache and some don’t have. I wanted to get rid of my mustache because I get tired shaving and shaving them when they grow long.

    My husband did that when he turned 40. I found it hard to look at him without freaking out! The dog didn’t know who he was! LOL

    So far I can relate. I’ve been with my partner for more than 6 years now and he’s always had a goatee. But then on our 5th year anniversary he suddenly shaved all of it! I was really in shock I don’t know how I would react. Not that I don’t like it, it’s just that I don’t mind if he’s got a goatee or not. But then I wouldn’t know how to react when I saw his shaved face.

    Your husband and I share the same preferences for facial hair. I have a goatee too. Looking at his photos, it appears he looks just fine and maybe a bit younger without the scruff. If I was going to shave it though, I would shave my whole head too. That way I could walk around having casual acquaintances thinking “Don’t I know him from somewhere?”
