That image on the shroud doesn't look too marred to me. ...

you mean other than the swollen cheek bone, the broken nose (forensic findings), the back scourging, the nail wounds in the wrists - which is correct on two counts: at the time, the wrist was also considered part of the hand and so called - and the physical fact that if the nails has been in the palms, the weight of the body would have ripped through...

Then there's the long braid down the back, something I have never seen anyone yet address.

There is good evidence that Jesus belonged to the Nazorite Priesthood - This is not the same as Nazorean, native of Nazareth. Numbers 6:5 regarding the Nazorite vows - "there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow."

They wore their long hair in a braid down their back.

But the image on the shroud is clearly a recognizable human. The prophecy’s in the Word of God say that he will be unrecognizable as a human.

It's been address before... even here on FreeRepublic. I know because I addressed it. The braid was also kept oiled...
