Facial Hair

[bard]

At a "success" seminar I once attended, we were told, "No one ever looked at a man and said, 'He would sure look better with a beard/mustache.' But they will sometimes look at a man and say, 'He would sure look better if he lost the beard/mustache.'"

How many people are turned off by beards/mustaches? I don't know, but I really don't think there are that many. Of course, I wore a beard and mustache for close to ten years, and I took it off when I started doing some public speaking. I want to look as good as possible to as many people as possible. I decided the beard wasn't worth the potential liability.

As for the 25 pounds...how big is your stache? Maybe you could kill two birds with one stone--or razor!
