welcome. i agree with those above: get it shaved after you make your presentation! you won't regret it.
If you do it within the next three days, take a video and post it for bic 4 good... it's worth a $444 donation to charity. Any other sly guys out there with a video camera should do the same (even if you don't have too much to shave off...).

Welcome Doc ... Let us know how the big day goes~
Sounds like you have a plan, Doc...if you can wait that long!
You never know...the confidence boost might set you apart from your competition.
Either way, once you take the plunge, you'll probably wonder why you waited so long (I know I did!).
Looks great! Welcome to freedom!
