I began my Van Dyke type goatee the very same day as this article was studied at the kh. a month or so later I began some feedback from several in the congo, none negative!

A month later I started to hear some rumblings from some elders, though not directly. A week ago an elder asked me why I was growing a goatee and I told him that the wt article seemed to open the door for those with a desire o look a bit more modern. Then I told him to just think of it as an "overlapping" mustache!

He didn't reply!

just saying!
