Would you go inside of a bank or institution where the lawn
and surroundings are unkempt, or the grass is as tall as a fence?

It’s about presentation more than it is about degrading someone’s
manhood or culture.

They used to be strict about facial hair, but most companies have relaxed that
policy due to some men having medical issues with shaving.

In my 20s, I mostly wore a beard. That was back in the 90s, tapered afro
with trimmed beard look. My skin, for some reason, was very sensitive to
razors back then. I could only use Magic shave paste to get a clean shave.
That shit was time consuming, and the paste had a terrible odor to it. I then
discovered I could get a close shave with liners, and I used that method in my
30s when I was working in the stock market ( allowed to sport a goatee).

Now I can shave with a razor with no issues whatsoever. Razor technology has
improved. So I sport a nice thick goatee with no mustache.

I’m not as intense as I used to be about facial hair. But I have a look that’s both
urban and professional, so my look is set for the rest of my life.
