In the Inland Northwest, October 1st is the unofficial start of Maybe I'll Grow a Beard Season.
As always, each man has to make his own decision. (We're pretending for a moment that wives and girlfriends do not have absolute veto power.)

“Got the mange?” has always been one our favorites. But we're sure you can think of your own special words of encouragement.
