To shave or Not to shave?

[xagerate]

That is my question!

As many of you will know, I have a beard, almost Viking style which I have had for around a year now.
I do like it a lot, however, members of my family don't.

As stubborn as I am, I won't do things unless I am happy with it.
I am the "Got to go my way or noway at all." kind of guy.


I have brown hair, but my beard is close to ginger, but darker.
Should I shave it?

Please enlighten us first
