Simply put, something had to be done. Yes, the Beard and I are fighting. Were fighting. To set our differences aside and in the pursuit of gainful employment I took a big step. Observe.

Pretty basic badassery here...and warm!

Then the process starts.

"THE ACE OF SPAAADES!!!"

Naked, pissed Hitler.

Final product: Manscaped attempt at suavery?

To tell you the truth, I'm kind of regretting the decision. I better get a damn good job(yes I realize the hair may have to go as well).

The good news: As I am no longer qualified to "Bring the Pain", I am prepared to offer one lucky contestant this AWESOME PRIZE PACKAGE...The Don Swayze Training Kitâ„¢!

Including Beard in a Bagâ„¢, Badass Fightin' Buckknifeâ„¢ and "Don't Give a Damn" Ashtrayâ„¢! Actual prizes may vary!*

*Look, you're just getting the bag of hair.

Flame away, but this thread is COMPLETELY necessary.

i actually just shaved

Thanks for destroying my "tm"s, God.

Here's my official queer eye makeover assessment.

I like the transformation, you look a lot better clean shaven and I like the sideburns that you left on there. My one suggestion would be to cut the long hair to just above collar length (or higher, but I think you'd want to keep something, plus it will work with the sideburns).

I just lopped off my sideburns and soul patch last week, and I'm enjoying the clean-shaven look on myself, so perhaps I'm a bit biased. Of course, most potential employers are also biased in favor of clean-shaven applicants over bushy bearded ones. If all else is equal, they'll always pick the applicant that won't scare old people and children over the one who might.

I shaved this morning.

You had more fun. :(

You're going to get rid of that sweet mullet?

Okay, not really a mullet, but when was I going to get to say "sweet mullet" around here?

Naked Pissed Hitler In A Bag

Amazing. You went from Unemployed Parolee to Sensitive Music Store Guy within five photos!

you look pretty badass in the first pic and the ace of spades one, but you look employable in the last one. though naked hitler would probably get you laid like a motherfucker

Look, this was my point.

Don't you fools listen to Mötörhead?

Damn, you're handsome without all that hair!

Gotta lose the burns. Makes you look like a wifebeater.

Are you saying I shouldn't be a wifebeater?

AccNeg's ass. of the sit. is on the spot. Sideburns and chops work right now, but only in the Rockabilly vein. That means pairing shorter cropped hair with facial stuff. Shoulder-duster-doo makes you look like early 90's Metallica. Your hair's just too long.

Speaking of wifebeaters, if you're gonna wear those burns, you gotta commit: you have to wear a wifebeater. And I'll need to see more of that shirt you have in the last pic. From the little bit I see, I think you need to dump it. You need something sharper.

Get a haircut. What are you, some kind of hippy?

You look younger. Is that a good thing...? Bad thing...? Who's to say? Certainly not I. As a heterosexual male who regularly wears mismatched socks, has a permanent five o'clock shadow and sometimes wears his shirt inside-out like Kriss-Kross was still in style, I have no fucking idea what looks good anymore.

You kind of looked like Triple H, but I think that's because he wanted to look like Lemmy.

I'd say lose the sideburns and hair long enough to get a job and then grow them back rapidly. That's what i did.

For the New Year, I decided to get a mohawk (more of a faux-hawk in that I still have very short hair on the sides and back). I left the top shaggy and leave it pretty frenzied on top when I'm at work, as opposed to spikey. Anywho, a drastic haircut is liberating. i highly recommend it.

The beard looked very reverendly.
I was hoping patrick swayze had died, which i suppose is unfair.
I shaved last night, at the request of the person i was having sex with. It wasn't a planned beard, more of a 5 oclock shadow grown into a sometime last december shadow.
Didn't take pix.
