What Hacker News says?

  1. I was thinking it depends on the style of beard: My favourite, The Franz-Joseph: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Joseph_I_of_Austria A website with lots of different beards (all displayed on the same chin): http://www.dyers.org/blog/beards/beard-types/ Some of these beards are just so eccentric looking I think a potential employer would not take them seriously.
