For me the hardest part of shaving was dealing with peoples questions about why I shaved..but to people that don't know you it just seems normal, so you have the perfect opportunity to do it and avoid alot of the questioning..by the time you finish 30 day challenge the others (family, friends) around you will be used to it as well ... Best of luck and I wish you well with whatever you decide to do

Welcome. I will echo what everyone else said, once you do it and do the 30 day challenge, you will wonder what the big deal was and soon you won't even recognize yourself with hair.
Congrats on the new job!
