For comparison’s sake: myself, clean-shaven in November 2008 (left); and myself, with a gnarly facial hair movement ongoing as of May 2009.
So I’ve undertaken a rather odd goal of growing a full-fledged beard, an ambition in which I am well on my way.
This simple quick post is simply to ask, should I keep it or shave it? Surprisingly (to me, at least), feedback regarding the facial hair has been positive, at least on Facebook.
What say ye?


Beard makes you look skinnier, keep it
goatee. it’s the happy medium.
Beards are good, a la http://silverpenpub.net/aboutrandom/kitchen.jpg
I vote keep.
Also, goatees are bad… if I had any pictures from high school handy, I’d link them as proof :-P
Um, I have a goatee and it rocks. And the ladies love it too. As long as you keep your beard trimmed, you should be good to go.
Something in the middle, perhaps an Adam Morrison mustache.
Facial hair is good and the beard works. I like the thin jaw-line beard look, myself.
