I have been doing much the same thing (except with some shaving involved), and now I have a nice herd of mostly-tame chin hairs that I've been cultivating all month. The Awesome GF is fascinated by them, and I am becoming rather fond of them as well. My facial hair is not as prodigious as yours, so the effect of letting the whole mess do its thing sans shaving is, well, less than impressive. I'm going for the Tory Belleci look, more or less.
