[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could you grow and keep a neatly trimmed beard?  No one should harrass you about that, but I'm guessing the first few days after a shave look more like 'rough night last night?'  I completely agree with you that it is irritating, but I doubt you want to take on your new employer, and anyway why fight city hall...[/quote]

I would if i could....the longest i've ever grown out is 3 weeks and it gets very itchy so i clean shave every monday morning.

I mean I could I guess trim it short enough for that fashion 'perma stubble' style.

Day's 3-4 are when it looks 'rough last night'. by day 5 its decently thick and even all over.

my facial hair comes in evenly and thick so it isn't a uneven/patchy pattern like some of my white colleagues.

I'm from originally out west where 'anything goes' so this was a bit of a shock. I mean i've heard stories at places like wall street banks that make you shave in the bathroom if you come in with stubble/facial hair that isn't at the bernanke-beard stage.

I just found it utterly crazy. I mean, not wearing a suit and shirt 2-3 sizes too big is something you can control. Facial sensitivity isn't. [/quote]
