Title: Shaved my beard off first time in 2 years
Post by: kenny57028 on September 01, 2011, 07:04:14 PM
I shaved my beard off for the first time since becoming sly. Just wondering if you guys think it looks good or if I should switch back to the way I had it.

Kenny , looks good both ways. Which way is up to you, give it a try for awhile.

Looks ok either way but I would say you look better with the beard.  I don't want to offend you (but you did ask for opinions), your chin is very pronounced and in the front view, you look better with the beard.  In the side view, I think you look good with or without.

Well, I'm a little partial to beards. I've had mine since 1980.  So I'll vote that way, not because it looks better one way or the other but as a matter of principle.

I shaved off my goatee last week for the first time in about three or four years. I kept my mustache that I've had almost without fail since I could grow facial hair.

Other than my Family........ not one person even mentioned it.

And Kenny, I think you look good shaved. Your chin mitten was definetly cool though.

You look great with or without the beard. Lucky for you to have the option to try different looks, bearded and clean shaven. Being asian, I am not blessed with the genes that allows me to grow a decent patch...tsk tsk tsk.

Looks good either way. I think it's fun trying different styles from time to time.

Either with or without looks good in my opinion, so would suggest with the one you are more comfortable with. I had mine long before I began shaving my head and have only shaved it off once this summer only to let it grow again

Like the others said you look good both ways but I prefer the beard,I have had a beard since I got out of the Navy 24 years ago so I would have to say I'm a little biased.

Yikes!!
Well, I've had a beard of some sorts since late 75.  (1975)  Shaved it once back in the 80s  and thought that guy looking back at me when I shaved was one ugly dude.  Grew it back, and now I have a goatee, a full beard,  what ever the mode might be in front of that mirror.  But fully shaved,  NOT!    Good thing I don't get paid for being pretty.

Have always had at least a goatee/stache (van Dyke) - if not the full facial fur - for at least 17 years, and could not imaging going clean shaven...

I vote for the beard. I just like seeing some hair around the face. Though you look good without it too. But some hair!! Beard...

I’ d rather be beat with a sack of wet catfish than have to shave my face. A pine tree fell on me a hundred years ago and cut my upper lip, bad. I went around looking like Hitler for a month.

Looks good either way, although right now I'm a little partial to having facial hair.  BTW, why shave in December?  Is it summer where you are?
