A study about how facial hair can either help or, sadly, hinder a man’s perceived trustworthiness has been graphically depicted by artist Matt McInerney. Facial hair rated includes beards, mustaches and just sideburns.

The different face-dos are aligned from “Very Trustworthy” to “Disastrous.” Interestingly, “Neutral” trustworthiness is not in the middle because there more styles of facial hair that fall beneath it. A man with a full trimmed beard is deemed to be trustworthy and the most “disastrous” facial hair is the infamous Hitler stache.

See it on Laughing Squid and an interview with Matt at the LA Times.

Later in the show he put on a convincing fake beard to make him look as he did before. I don’t know the current status of his facial hair or if he kept the stache after the show.

I find it incredible he shaved his beard. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for mustaches and everything, but his beard was pretty epic and defining. It’s like Tom Selleck shaving his mustache or Bert shaving his unibrow.

Check the backstage footage of the beard removal on Hulu:
