i dont mean to be rude, beards on some people look great but i think you growing a beard isn't the best for your image.
grow a Mo instead maybe?


Thanks for the honest response I might go with just the mo or maybe even try the syrup blue look

Go stubble man.

Unfortunately with your complexion you'll get the "terrorist" thing. I did. Clean you look way to young.

I'm going with longer stubble now and I like it, so does my wife.

Unshaved brings out your better features, particularly your eyes. It softens others, too (nose, lips and chin). I personally think you need more facial hair… and not in that thick line from one ear to the other. Shave. Let it grow evenly.

Ha, SF is brutal today.

Go shaved, but leave tastefully long side burns so that you look older. You look like a terrorist with a beard.

Old Sport, is the refined gentleman a rarity?

I choose no beard for the simple fact that I would no sooner grow a beard than I would wear a beer-stained, wife-beater t-shirt.
I prefer to be well groomed, and that includes chin, eyebrows, nose, ears, and neatly combed no-more-than-medium-length hair.

If I have any facial hair it is a rare occurrence, and never more than 5 days growth, and only after I have been on holiday to a sporting locale.
The rugged growth should evoke a sense of “Wow, where have you been?” Not, “Couldn’t find the razor this morning, huh?”
To see me unshaven is to witness a man that has travelled and engaged in sport for the past several days.
It is not to witness yet another denizen of the great un-washed.


Ciao !
