It was appropriate as a mobster to have a shaved face, but it's not an important rule. They won't held a sitdown if you have a mustache. Why would they not have a sit down with a wiseguy with facial hair? I don't get it.

I don't believe it was a rule, but there was a stigma attached to it. Only in the US, not Italy. No its a rule... Why is this a rule?

I'm sure this is an ethic or cultural thing. I don't get it.
I live in a western state in a rural area and I would guess 75% of the men over the age of 30 have permanent facial hair. You would look unmanly to not have facial hair where I live.
Would love someone to go deeper on this question.

Why would they not have a sit down with a wiseguy with facial hair? I don't get it. I mean they won't hold a sitdown over facial hair. You won't tell a guy like Sam Decavalcante to shave his stache.

"No Facial Hair" - an unenforced rule that dates back to the Mafia "Young Turks" overthrow of the "Mustache Petes". That is what I always heard, I have seen pics of Greg Scarpa with a moustache and I am pretty sure he had his button at that time too. I dont know whats up with Charley Carneglia , I dont know if he is made or not but the last pic I saw of him he had a beard like Harry the Hunchback Riccobene

I dont know whats up with Charley Carneglia , I dont know if he is made or not but the last pic I saw of him he had a beard like Harry the Hunchback Riccobene he grew the beard while in prison during the early 2000s apparently he started growing it because it was annoying other mob guys in prison and he did not like most of them he believed a lot of them would rat him out. It came up at his trial I think one of the defences witness testified about it he was one crazy fuck in the book about him the story is he killed john favera dissolved his body in acid but it took longer than expected angelo ruggerio complained to gotti when carneliga found out he was pissed so he got one of the bones and dropped it in ruggerios soup
Not connected with scott or anyone at gangsterreport
Sorry for the confusion
