To shave or not to shave that is the question...

What's your opinion?
My opinion is that if you have to ask the question, "Should I go home to shave and change clothes?" on an Internet forum, there are bigger issues at stake here.

As I mentioned in my post, I am planning on going home and such. I was just curious as to what other people thought, since it is a very small project. The whole thing came up, because for a split second I thought what if I didn't shave and change cloths? As it is I will be leaving in like 10 minutes. When things are slow at work it is enjoyable to discuss things with others. That is what the forum post is about. Ben

I don't know, I think I look pretty good with a little stubble, but I am afraid it doesn't make a very good first impression. Ben

Ok it is Monday. I opted not to shave and I wore jeans into work today. I was pretty sure I wouldn't be seeing any clients. Well, I was wrong. Looks like a client is going to show up today after lunch. It is for a very short one week part time deal. I am thinking I better go home over lunch shave and put some nicer cloths on. You know the old saying, "You never have a second chance to make a very good first impression." What's your opinion?

Um, does that mean I should not shave my legs?:-O

No, it means you should start rubbing Rogaine on your face each morning. Sorry, them's the rules...

A little stubble look always reminds me more of George Michael than Clint Eastwood for some reason.

I'm not well-endowed in that area. If I "forgot" to shave no one would notice. I only shave every other day as it is. Even my wife doesn't notice unless I go nearly a week without shaving. As it is, my wife doesn't like facial hair irritating her tender skin, so rather than having her turn exclusively to women, staying nice and smooth keeps the marriage happy. If loving her is improper I don't wanna be proper. :cool:

I would re-schedule with my client for Tuesday. I always look for a third or even fourth option.

Sorry! My expression of the rule was unintentionally sexist. I should have said, "All proper male developers have beards; for female developers beards are optional (but their absence is preferred)." Oops! Now I see why lawyers have such a fine time! I meant absence of beards, not absence of female developers.

Never trust a man with a beard... he's got something to hide...

I used to have a beard, ironically for that reason. I had some facial scarring from childhood "accidents" as soon as I could grow a beard I did. I don't wear one now though only I can notice the scars unless I tell someone about them and then they can look and say "oh yeah, I didn't notice that before" time fades many things, luckily. :)

Thankfully, I am not going for either one of those looks. I don't think I look much like either of those two people, so I don't think I have too much to worry about. Ben

I wasn't specifically thinking of what they look like, just the mental association when I see someone with a very short stubbly beard.

Follow your instincts! If you feel like you should go a little extra to make that good first impression, then there is probably a good reason to.
