Beard or no beard

I just shaved my beard for the first time in years. Grow it back or keep clean?

I didn't vote, I figure a beard, as with a hairstyle, is similar to clothing or jewelry. Change it up at times just to keep things interesting!

Love beards!

Great for 'tickling'!!!

I enjoy both on a man. A goatee is attractive but again depending on the man a full beard can be as well as long as it is kept groomed. Do what makes you happy.

No one wants to sit on a clean-shaven face. (unless it's a woman's)

I love beards of all kinds, though im the only person that likes mine. I used shave all but my chin, now im kinda chubby and with a shaved face im just too insecure. Do what you want, its your body.

Depends on the person. A short trimmed beard is nice. I'm not a fan of the Gandalf type beards that hipsters wear.

@LimitedLight

Yeah. But would you want to French kiss him?

@Compassion8doubt he’s busy not lettin balrogs pass n shit. Make a trilogy about your most hectic 3 weeks ever n see how much bedroom wizardry it features ? Also everyone knows Gandalf’s gay, he and professor X have been getting forcibly shaven by @Ellatynemouth and seeming quite happy about it together for years. ?

@Wurlitzer

They were willing! And anything to play cupid.

I am partial to facial hair on men - so I voted for Beard - but - It is Florida, it is Summer. AND most importantly - it is YOUR face. Do as ye will.

It has been hot. I’ve been getting out more and walking. I am not as hot or itchy.

Really , it is nice to hear women who prefer beards , sounds like mostly my age group though and that is just fine .. 55-70

I shaved my beard at 64 everyone thinks I am in my late 40's .. that is weird !

I love it when a man has hair on his face.

Do whatever you please.
Although, it IS July, and you're in Florida.
Nevermind. Do whatever the fuck you want.

Through the centuries, the beard has been a visible and robust symbol of masculinity, and should neither be disregarded nor mocked. Wear the beard, brother, proudly and with good grace. ?

I like u clean shaved, you look younger, but your beard was nice because it was kept short.

they all look alike....

I would probably suggest "no beard" but I'm not the one who would have to shave your face.

1

I prefer facial hair on a man. I do think you have a face that can go either way, though.

I agree, you look younger without it.

However, even with it, you don't look old.

What about in between? A shorter or more trimmed/defined beard taking up less of your face?

1

I'm in the minority. I voted no beard. A short, nicely groomed beard, mustache, etc. is perfectly okay to me.

Grizzly Adams style (while I thought he was sexy as hell when I was young), just isn't for me.

You may wash it every single day, but to ME, it makes one look unkempt.

personal choice

Personally...I just think men with full beards always look homeless.
A little scruff shadow is ok... and/or a well manicured mustache.

@Morganfreeman No, no they aren't.

The problem is how much a beard can age you. I'm backwards and forwards between both and I usually get rid when too many people say how old I look. When the youthful comments wear off after a week or two I start growing one again haha!

You look great both ways! I’d say you do look younger without it though. Do whatever you are most comfortable with.

1

My preference is always a clean face

2

Dragging razor blades across my face never appealed to me… I’m far more comfortable in my beard ... but you do you 🙂 ... that said, If you have a beard and can’t change a tire, shave! ... ok, stole that from a meme... follow your chi🙂

You'll rock it in any case, but if I was to pick, I would say Beard all the way (massive facial hair fan here).

1

I'm always amazed at how young a man looks after he shaves that mop off of his face. Why would anyone want to look older? No beard, all the way!

@maturin1919 Not this woman

A neatly trimmed beard is a thing of beauty!
