When it's time to change

If you're a regular reader you are aware that I'm a man of many skills and growing facial hair is one of my best. But lately I've been feeling a little uncertain with regard to what to do next with it.

So I'm leaving it up to a vote by readers. Whatever the majority decides, I will do with my facial hair.

Wife has selected four options from the following illustration:

The four finalists are:

Chin Curtain
Friendly Mutton Chops
Petit Goatee with mustache (technically a Van Dyke but the Van Dyke illustration isn't a Van Dyke)
Soul patch

So pick one of these four and vote for it in the comments section.

Yes, you can tell me which of the other options you'd rather see, but pick one of the four as well. And if you're wondering currently I'm closest to the Zappa currently.

Go with the friendly mutton chops…

Of course, the Super Mario would be quite awesome, if you are feeling, um, digitized.

Based on your choices, I vote for mutton chops. But from the expanded list, I prefer one of the following:

Hulihee
Copstash Standard
Pencil

My coworker and I both like the Zappa, you should keep that. Unless you want to go with the Mighty El Insecto. I dare you. I'm fond of the Hollywoodian, too. Of the 4 picked, she likes the chin curtain. Just because when people comment on your beard, you can say "I don't have a beard, I have a chin curtain". The soul patch is so overdone now. I pick the petit goatee with mustache.

Leslie - It's not el insecto but I call this one "The Evil Wizard"

As for the pencil mustache I never can figure out how they shave it that way to start. And I'm not quite swarthy enough for the super mario.

One vote here for Friendly Mutton Chops.

As Todd the Destroyer would ask in 'Mom and Dad Save the World.' "Mutton Chops or no Mutton Chops?" And after killing his two minions for saying Mutton Chops, he would go with Mutton Chops and so would I.

I have a feeling it's too late to vote, but I'm feeling the pencil (John Waters) too, even though you don't know how to do it. And I like the Rap standard.
