windhchymes: My preference is clean-shaven, but neat and trimmed facial decor is okay. What I hate, though, are those little gnome-like spurts right under the bottom lip....for the love of god, either grow more, or shave that off! LOL! That little "gnome-like spurt" (GOD, I love that!) is called a "soul patch". NO, I'm not making that up! The "soul patch" was favored first by Black jazz musicians in the 1940s and 1950s (notably Dizzie Gillespie, giving rise to the silly myth that trumpet players wore one for mystical comfort and sound improvement), then by 1960s "hipsters" (anyone remember the guy on Dobie Gillis?) and currently by 20-somethings who think that a bit of scruff under the lip gives them class.
