I deliberately didn’t tell anyone I was using minox to grow my beard. I wanted to see when someone would notice and now 2 months in, the only one who noticed was my wife, and unfortunately not the beard gains but the minoxidil turning her white pillow cases yellowish/brownish. I can see some tiny belly’s hairs myself, but I’m curious how long it will take to be obvious for others.

I put a packtalk edge in my wife’s open face helmet so she can listen to music while she’s on the back of the bike. Although you could argue the silence is nice for me, I’d still like her to be able to talk to me also, but she insists the boom mic ruins the aesthetics of the helmet and I get her point. Anyone have experience with just using the button mic or a different microphone in an open face helmet? It’s a Shoei J.O to be specific.
