When I used multi-bladed shaving carts or disposables I used to only shave as little as possible.
I shaved Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and kept the goatee as less I needed to shave. However once the goatee got a certain length is started to bother my face so I would every so often shave clean.
I have been studying Shakespeare lately and find this subject humorous.
With goatee mine wife does desire mine kisses
however may they be uncomfortable.
Thus goatee removed mine wife finds comfort in mine kisses
however lack of desire they may come.
She agrees with this assessment,
