Paying homage to Camper, a facial hair thread. :P
So, yesterday night, and fulfilling a bet made over way too many beers, I shaved my goatee, which I had been sporting since I was 15. I look mightily strange, and people I know are located mainly in the "who is this guy and what did you do to the one we knew", since almost all of them have always known me with a beard. Other people tell me I look much better and younger, which puzzles me a lot.
At first I thought of letting it grow again right away, but now I just don't know what to do. I'll give it a test run and see how I feel about being beardless.
Anyone has had any experience with this kind of image changes? Tips? Advice?
Yeah, I shaved off my goatee (which I started growing when I was 17) around Christmastime and it also made me look like a little kid. I grew it back ASAP.
I have to shave mine off because of all the grey.

:huh: What's wrong with a grey goatee? I mean, Drew Peterson has one :)

Because it makes me look 50.
I hate facial hair. I wish it'd just go away.
Judging by your manly hirsuteness, Larchy, you can probably squeeze out a new beard by the end of the day :P
Without facial hair I look 14.
You're older than that? :blink:
:P
I have (mostly) had a beard since about 18. I shaved it off from time to time, recently I have had the goatee-thingy (discussed on languish). It is turning a bit grey now, but that is alright - fuck the people who think I look 50.
Once I let my facial hair grow. After a couple of weeks, it looked like I needed a shave.

Your Age - 10 = My (almost) age.

Get the fuck off of my lawn.
I shave at least once a month because of the Navy drill weekends, sometimes I let my beard grow during the month, I have a goatee right now for example. So I change week to week. And yes, it has grey hairs, only place I'm going grey too.
I say, shave for a couple of weeks at least, give it a try at least. And be more careful with bets next time. ;)
I, too, have confused colleagues mightily today by not wearing black. :)
