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

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

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

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.

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?
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.

I wasn't alluding to anything physical; hadn't even though about that. For me, beards connote a certain shiftiness and untrustworthiness, always have. Can't give you a rational reason because I'm sure there isn't one. :-)

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:

Welcome to the club. 5 o'clock shadow takes me until Tuesday of next week :sigh:. The ironic thing is, I still have to shave everyday. If I don't, the damned itch drives me crazy. I can (and do) grow a respectable mustache, however. I very carefully ignore the gray in it.

Evolution gave us facial hair for a reason. Shaving goes against nature.
Fortunately this is not a problem for me, but following that statement can make a programmer not to be able to continue doing his/her job after a couple of months, you know, the keyboard and mouse can disappear under the hair forest... And yes, also "her"...

I actually can not afford this as I have to drive 20 miles home through high-traffic lanes.
