Well Nick;
It depends on the culture of the business. What are the other men doing? I would think if you are unsure, just clean it up a bit (don't know how much there is) or maybe you could line it up a bit? What do you feel, you should do?

Nick, I read your question and I'm asking you a few questions: Have you been asked to shave? Do you feel more confident in doing business with or without a shaven face. Are you self-employed or work with a company? And ..What are the policies of the company? Do they require you present a certain dress code?

If you are questioning if you should shave, it gives me a notion your confidence in your appearance has been a recent topic. It also tells me that somehow your facial hair may have been in question. I suggest you examine your appearance closer, then determine if it's affecting you, and or your business gains or profits. Try making some trial adjustments with a shaven face, then without a shave. Perhaps, then you'll find the answer to this. It's still your face, only without the hair, more importantly you'll not lose who you are because there is no hair on or off your face. Remember you are in charge of yourself and your self-appearance. First impressions often matters in business conditions, always try to make it a good impression of you!
