There is no excuse for this, unless you are literally Nick Burns, Your Company’s Computer Guy. The No-’Stache Goatee (a.k.a. the Buffalo Wild Wings, a.k.a. Midwest Baseball Jamboree) In terms of covering a double chin, this is the most popular look for those who do not possess the virility for a good...
