Shaving Before an Interview

What is everyone's opinion on shaving prior to an interview? Usually I always have and I have heard that it is preferred that you shave. Right now I have a heard (well maintained, not a ZZ Top beard or anything) and I'd like to keep it. Thanks in advance!

You want to keep it? Dude, it'll grow back. Why take any chances at an interview if you have doubts?
So true.
Lolol, why is this so true?
I have shaved it in the past and find that I am very self conscious about a major change in my appearance for a few days after. Not sure that I would want to go into an interview with that kind of feeling.

It's like the Masonic hand shakes for them, instead of the handshakes though, the beard has to contain a certain amount of food items and the pants must display a regulation quota of crack.

Well....guess I can never be a Unix admin then...
I grow patches and my 'stache does not connect. I have no choice but to shave and look like a 20 year old ...
In regards to facial hair for an interview, if you're looking like some dude that's hiding in a cave, then yes you have to shave or at a minimum keep it neat and trimmed. If that's not possible, then shaving is a must.
If you can swing it, get a haircut the week before, mens hair looks best at about that time. Anyone who has been in a wedding should know that.
For heaven's sake read the "Sanatorium" section of GQ, a magazine most IT guys don't even know exists. It will help with more than just interviewing.
