So if I ask you for your opinion about something, doesn't that mean I want to hear your opinion? I ran into this issue yesterday when I asked a few friends, whose opinions I value, whether or not I should grow a beard. No one gave me a straight answer! "I don't know" doesn't answer my friggin' question. Come on people! I'm looking for a definitive answer here!
With no help from my phone-a-friend, I elected to shave it off. I figure that a scraggly looking beard says one of two things; Either you don't care what you look like/what other people think or you're trying to prove that you can grow facial hair. Not quite the image I'm looking for. On the other extreme, I could go buy a mach 27 and (without cutting myself) make my face smoother than.... well I've got nothing to put here, but really really smooth. That sounds like a lot of work and I'm not sure I want my face glimmer when the sun hits it, although I wouldn't have to wear a watch to reflect the sun in your eyes. So those two options are out. The last option is more or less to let the 5 o'clock shadow grow out a bit and trim it when it gets too long. Basically the "scruff" look. Just enough wild man without giving off the "bum" vibe. I'm down for that.
