JZ found it much more disturbing the last time I changed glasses. That created an uncannny valley effect.
Actually, the last time but one. The current glasses are great. It was the in-between glasses that freaked me out: the spare pair with the big lenses and clunky frame that you had to use when your old cool glasses broke but before we could afford to get you the new cool glasses.
Those in-between glasses? Of the devil.
Facial hair, meh. And, anyhow, you'd trimmed the goatee down to a mere suggestion of a goatee, a faint whisper on your chin vaguely reminiscent of a goatee, many weeks earlier. The actual removal was not so drastic after all that.
Teppy brunette? Adorable. I know you didn't feel like you, but you rocked the look nevertheless.
Best comment I got after shaving: "You look okay. It's not like you have a turtle chin."
bon-bon-without-glasses is similarly disconcerting.

Yeah, but bon has the advantage of being
superpretty.
So your disconcerting options are Superpretty With Glasses and Superpretty Barefaced.
Whereas I am apparently either Hairy Faced Like Is Right And Proper or Not A Turtle Chin.
Hairy Faced Like Is Right And Proper
I was thinking Attractive And Sexy (Like Is Right And Proper).
Whereas I am apparently either Hairy Faced Like Is Right And Proper or Not A Turtle Chin Cute and Boyish.
There, fixed it for you.
Cute and Boyish
I endorse this style. Besides, the other way Hec was starting to bear a getting-much-too-close-to resemblance of Colonel Sanders. Who was far from cute and boyish, much less sexy.

That was the other factor. When I first grew the goatee it was darker and added some contrast to my pale features. As it got white, it made me feel too grampa-ish.
hm ... David with a dark goatee ...
Hee, Sail! Yes, Hec is lookin' foine.
Since I'm here in the F2F thread, I'll share this--I just called Candlewood Suites to tell them about the charge and credit of my half of the room and how that leaves them with only ChiKat's half of the bill paid for, and the man I was speaking with looked over the info, said that since it's already the next month there's not much he could do about it, and told myself to view it as a present from CI.
(ChiKat, $83 comin' your way!)
