Playoff Goatee

My playoff 'beard' is getting really itchy. At longer lengths, the hair by the sides of my mouth starts to get really irritating. People at work are starting to notice that it's more than my twice-weekly shave scruff look. I am receiving comments about looking 'meaner'. Isn't that the point? Tough and manly playoff watcher. That's me. Picture coming at the start of round two.
