Vanity

I’ve been thinking about my face recently. More specifically, about my beard. I’ve had the same beard for a while now, and I’m starting to get a little bored with it.

Unfortunately I’m not a student any more, so I can’t go with some of the crazier options that I’ve had in the past, such as

I have a job in the service industry. A customer facing job in the service industry. I kind of feel like I’m already rocking the boat slightly by virtue of having a beard in the first place (though it is a beard that won “Best beard” at the 2011 staff awards, so there is that). Some might suggest that the best thing I can do is shave it all off. I have three arguments against that though. One, I need a beard to hide my double chin. Two, if I don’t have time to shave before work it comes across as more scruffy than if I have a bit of stubble next to a beard. And three, I look like a gormless twit.

Some of the more acceptable, but still slightly less common beards I’ve had include the following

Anyway, that’s a semi-history of my face fuzz. Any suggestions on what I could do next?

Not that it doesn't suit me, but it lacks pizazz Unfortunately I'm not a student any more, so I can't go with some of the crazier options that I've had in the past, such as hobo chic, double-decker moustache, or the half hobo.

Two, if I don't have time to shave before work it comes across as more scruffy than if I have a bit of stubble next to a beard. And three, I look like a gormless twit. Admittedly, at least I don't look like the kind of guy who would sexually assault women, which sometimes comes with some of my beards. This song sort of sums out how I'd feel about shaving Some of the more acceptable, but still slightly less common beards I've had include the following an asymmetrical swirl, a sort of chin mo-hawk, with a chin-strap, horseshoe moustache combo or even just a standard horseshoe. I actually had this last time I worked my current job and got away with it. I reckon I might even be able to get away with a full beard, if I kept it tidy enough. Only issue is the whole "about to sexually assault you" vibe I mentioned earlier Anyway, that's a semi-history of my face fuzz. Any suggestions on what I could do next?
