Beard or no beard

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

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 have a dear friend who covers a lot of their tunes on ukulele. Love it!

Love them, I’ve been a fan for years.

Rotflol.. thank you. That’s the most awesome thing I have seen in a time. Made my day!

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 !

Do whatever makes you happy! 🙂

Yes, we all want a partner who is happy with his or her own appearance. However, just for the sake of the conversation and question posed, if you took the same person -- same personality -- everything equal -- would you prefer to look at -- or would you be more attracted to one or other other?

@BlueWave, attraction for me is strongly based on someone's personality. I could care less if my partner did or did not have facial hair as long as they were happy.

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

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.

I recently got rid of mine and have since been reminded of what a drag shaving is.

I know. I just hate the chore.

My preference is always a clean face

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

Love beards!

Great for 'tickling'!!!

2

Totally team beard.

I let my beard do whatever it wants...

Beards are sexy!!!

Beard, for sure!!!

I shaved my goatee & mustache once. My two girls, early teens, had never seen me without facial hair. They were horrified, and demanded I grow it back. I didn't realize I was that ugly. I grew it back. LOL

Totally depends on facial features to me. Some people can pull off a beard, others cannot. And vice versa. Whatever fits your face best. In your case, I think the beard was working for you.

I prefer a clean shaved face. 🙂

I like a beard on a man, and neatly groomed is my preference. But then again, it is summer here in Oregon, and beards might be too warm!

A neatly trimmed beard is a thing of beauty!

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).

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🙂

1

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

1

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!

personal choice

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.
