I like it, but the “without” is so dark I can’t see. Facial hair is one of my favorites. On men of course. On me, not so much. ---

I’m surprised to say this, but you look way better with the goatee, and normally I hate goatees. Maybe cause that pic is clearer, I dunno. But you’re cute either way. ---

Definitely better without the goatee. You’re just covering up a very handsome face with it. Although, I’ve seen you with it, and thought you were quite attractive. In the pictures you posted, perhaps the goatee is just a little too overgrown. Now you just need a little eyebrow shaping, and you’ll be quite dapper. 😉 ---

I prefer the goatee. Could just be the smile in that pic though. I think you look much younger without it. ---

Ah, I can sympathize with how you fell about the Goatee, having one myself. Having a goatee is _adddictive_. I grew my first, hmmm… must’ve been my senior year in high school. Now I’m on my third. I haven’t been able to go more than a month between shaving one, and begining to grow another. So, you’ll hve the goatee back… _weather you to or no_t! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!! ---

While I think you are quite handsome either way (personal preference is without), there is the point that watching someone continuously _scratching_ a beard isn’t, well, particularly attractive. ---

In this case, he’s taken _and_ gay. **Sol** , you could have asked for a consult, dammit. Still, you do still bring the hotness without it. Possibly more hotness, even.

Can I be the token straight, married guy in the harem? I’d hate to think that all the cool people were leaving me out. Are a shaved head and a goatee qualification enough, because I already have those. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/vanity-thy-name-is-solgrundy/286733.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/vanity-thy-name-is-solgrundy/286733.md?page=3)
