Column: Facial hair fiascos

I don’t know what makes guys want to grow mustaches, goatees, beards, soul patches or any other type of prominent facial hair. Some of my friends have told me they don’t like to shave because it irritates their skin. Another friend liked his beard because it kept his face warm in the winter.
