Rick's beard?

Ohhhh! You actually mean beard as in facial hair. For a minute when I saw the title I thought you meant something entirely different and had some interesting celebrity gossip.

At first, I thought it was Domo...that furry little creature from NHK TV in Japan...turns out it was just Rick Steves.

Did the TSA confiscate Rick's disposable razors?

I , too, thought that it looked good, but now it's gone, as TV shooting commences.

When I first saw a picture of RS with a beard, I said "it's about time". I grew a beard after I got out of the army in 1966 because I got tired of shaving every morning. Have taken it off several times - once to get a job - but now have had it for more than 30 yrs. Just lazy really.

"I grew a beard...because I got tired of shaving every morning...(j)ust lazy really." Me, too.
