Riker Sets His Beard Like His Phaser

Starfleet phasers have many power settings for many uses.  For Commander Will Riker's beard, there really is only one setting that he swears by.

Is The Beard Evil or Sexy?

The Beard.  Riker did it.  Data tried to do it.  Geordi even tried the lusty lure of the beard.  Before all of them, there was that naughty Mister Spock from that alternate universe who did the facial hair thing in a most logical way.

Mirror, Mirror on the wall:  Is the beard sexy or evil?  Maybe both?

The Beard Is Power

Data knows just how much power The Beard gives to him.

Go on, Data.  Don't shave.
