In December of 2016, I stopped shaving for a couple weeks because I was working snow removal. Once I found beard oil, I knew I was not shaving any time soon and the rest is history! My beard has become very well known throughout campus and especially on my football team. Even the other teams we play make a point to compliment it every game. It's become a part of who I am :) |
