Successfully, I beat Prostate Cancer 11yrs ago, with this in mind I support Movember every year to bring awareness to Mens health. So the idea if you dont know is you grow a mustache every November and then shave in December! This year I grew out my whole beard instead of just the mustache. My wife really likes the beard. I am getting unsolicited compliments like crazy. I know this sounds weird, but its surprising me. The problem for me is I really miss shaving! I love the routine and the stuff associated. I still shave the tiny bit of neckline and the straggling whiskers on my cheeks. Shaving my legs is an option but just doesnt do the same thing for me...sigh LOL
