Do you react when your significant other shaves his beard?

This is meant to be light hearted and silly. Definitely a pointless post but I’m curious how ya’ll react when your dude shaves.

I’m generally heavily bearded.

One time I shaved because I was tired of it, and my wife laughed. Like, belly laughed. Then she grabbed my face, and gave me a giant kiss and a snuggle. That was years ago.

That also wasn’t a one off. I very rarely shave, but every time I do she reacts this way.

I don’t like keeping secrets from her, but I have been doing this on purpose ever since that first reaction because the laugh and kiss/snuggle that I know is coming makes me feel gushy inside.

So now I plan. The perfect time is when it’s been a long while since my last shave and is unexpected, but also when she’s been having it rough and needs a good laugh. I get a giant smooch and she gets a huge laugh. That’s an even trade.

She has horrendous ADHD and is not perceptive at all, so I don’t even need her to leave the house. I let her come home from work, vent about her day, then sneak off full of excitement to the bathroom while she has her headphones on. Then I plop next to her on the couch, and after a moment of confusion she realizes what happened and I get that same laugh and same deep kiss.

Anyway, work has been awful for both of us the last two weeks, so I’m planning on shaving today or tomorrow. And it just got me wondering how other ladies respond when their lads shave their beards.
