I had a beard when I was younger. I usually have long sidebreezers but I went to a different barber for my haircut and he shaved them off, so I'm trying to grow them back again as I think I look a bit effeminate without them. Today my black heavyweight wool kilt was away to have the lining repaired so I wore a lightweight Mercy kilt instead. Several of the court office staff commented on the loss of my sidebreezers but nobody commented on or even seemed to notice the different kilt.
