Since we've wondered off-topic...
There are two periods of time in the spring and late summer when many
Orthodox Jews don't shave (5 and 3 weeks long, respectively). The deal
I reached with my wife is that I have a beard from the start of the
first one to the end of the second one. It's worked now for just over
30 years... :-)

(When I met my future wife I was 21, and she
wanted me to grow a beard, so
I did. Since then I have occasionally asked cow orkers who have complained
about shaving why *they* don't grow beards: the most common answer is "My
wife doesn't want me to." *My* wife doesn't believe this story.)
I actually had to shave for a while specifically because of my
then-girlfriend, so... ;p I can see that.
