FACIAL HAIR
I don't know why, exactly, but I think Ryan rocks a goatee. There are a lot of guys who look okay with one, but few of them look really good with one. At least, I think so.
Ryan used to come home from his 4 days of National Forest Service job all scruffy, and would leave part of it as a goatee for a day or two until Sunday. A few weeks ago, he came home from his whitewater rafting trip with a 10 day beard and totally surprised me by shaving a goatee. And surprised me even more by keeping it for three weeks! He says if I give him 30 compliments on it per day, he'll keep it.
So I gravitated (it's a magnetism I was born with) toward the Clearance rack at ShopKo and found a goatee groomer on sale. I bought it for Ryan, hoping it would make it easier for him to keep the facial hair. When I got it home, he said, "what are you trying to say?" I hadn't noticed the placement of the price tags. It says, "GOAT GROOMER!"

Love the "Goat Groomer!" Jeff grew a goattee when we had Kaleb. I liked it for a while, but wasn't sad to see it go.
