So…My Beard Is Probably Disgusting…

I like my beard. My girlfriend LOVES my beard. But, after seeing this, I think it might be time to finally shave it. 

I wouldn't characterize myself as a hipster, I just think I look better with facial hair. I've had a full beard since August. I've trimmed it and kept it looking pretty tight, but it's been on my face for awhile. And my girlfriend gets in a tizzy every time I even mention shaving it.

However, I've found some new information that might be enough to change her mind.

Beards obviously trap bacteria...there's no doubt that having a beard is dirtier than not having it. But microbiologists in New Mexico have determined that some beards could be as dirty...as a TOILET.

Now, just having those germs in your beard won't make you sick. But touching your face a lot without washing your hands frequently could put you at risk. [KOAT.com]
