Many tend to have this reaction:
My parents told me I had that same reaction too when dad shaved his beard. I freaked out. What's so scary about dad shaving his beard? Why do many babies cry over that?
Babies may cry after their father shaves his beard because they are reacting to the sudden change in appearance. Babies rely heavily on visual cues to recognize and identify people, so when their father's appearance changes suddenly, it can be alarming or confusing for them. The loss of a familiar facial feature, such as a beard, can also make it more difficult for babies to recognize their father, which can be unsettling for them.
Additionally, babies may be more sensitive to changes in their environment and routine, and the act of shaving may disrupt their sense of familiarity and security. They may also be reacting to the sound of the razor or the sensation of their father's newly shaved face, which can be uncomfortable or unfamiliar to them.
It's important to note that not all babies will have this reaction, and there may be other factors at play as well. Some babies may be more sensitive or easily overstimulated than others, while others may be more adaptable to changes in their environment.
If your baby is crying or seems upset after their father shaves his beard, it may be helpful to provide them with extra comfort and support during this time, such as holding them or talking to them in a calm and reassuring voice. Over time, as the baby becomes more accustomed to their father's new appearance, they may become more comfortable with the change.
I used to grow a beard every winter and shave it off every spring. I used to sit my son on the washing machine we had in the bathroom and he would be fascinated watching me shave off the beard. He never was freaked out.
Because they can't recognize them but they also get confused because that man's voice sounds like their father which makes them miss their father so bad. Hence, they can't help but cry and look confused or look away from their now clean shaved father.
I think when a man shaves his beard, he looks more vulnerable and sexual than he did before and that might undermine a child’s sense of security and stability and guidance from their father figure.

Because they like the feel of Daddy's beard on their head when they puke on Daddy's shoulder. It's just not as much fun when Daddy doesn't have a beard.
Its an unfamiliar face, thats scary.
The baby is crying because a stranger picked it up, and the mother needs to protect it.
Because they look different
Because they don't recognize them
