Do you prefer to wear a clean shaved face or beard?

Question

My grandfather who is in his 80's gets up religiously to shave his beard, if he leaves it too long he says its an indication of being unwell. So I ask what about you? Where do you stand?

Mine's a Full beard,

a shaved face is not clean, studies have proven a fully bearded face is more hygienic than a clean shaven one. [look it up if you don't believe me]

And bearded men look more attractive because their face is always moisturized as facial hair act as roots (like those of trees) and retain water and supply it to the face skin.

I can never afford to waste 15-30 mins of my time daily, just to remove something that distinguishes me from women and children, and is gonna grow back again the next day, waste of precious time and energy.

Also I believe an angel in heaven loses its wings whenever a beard is lost to shaving...

95% of my sexual partners/ex etc fondle my beard b4 & after rigorous lovemaking, some have even offered to braid and decorate it

My bearded face makes people think before they speak in front of me, some get scared, some like it...

I was traveling in a train once, a couple with their toddler were sitting opposite to me in the same compartment.
The parents kept scolding the child for running around, doing acrobatics and being a naughty toddler, without success.

The kid was thoroughly excited for being in a train for the first time and couldn't stay in one place for more than a minute.

Finally they both dragged me into trying to scare him by telling him the this bearded uncle will be angry if you don't listen to us, but the kid just looked at me and smiled as if saying " you're harmless, what could you ever do to me "

That was the day I realised that the brainwashing of media has instilled pogonophobia (fear of facial hair) in the minds of 85% adults today.

i have had a proper shave three times in the last two years... most the time i trim so its stubbley but to be fair this does seem to be a fashion of very recent times... most guys seem to have facial hair nowadays but back in the 80s it was only bikers

I love beards, i think some men look 10x better with beards depending on their face shape. I mean no hate, but if a guy has a softer jawline and a chubbier face, i think a beard fits them better than clean shaven or with stubble.

Another thing, I love beards, I love the neat and clean cut beards. I had an ex who would periodically shave and then grow out his beard. He was very handsome and looked attractive with stubble, clean shaven, and full beard... BUT he never took care of his beard, it always looked bushy and messy. If i could link a picture, i would!

My boyfriend had a beard and he trims it and looks after it so it is always clean.
It makes him a lot more manly looking and he looks older which is a huge turn on, he is of an ethnic background so his bread is think and dark black/brown.
He is really hot and I am really happy for him to keep his beard, it makes him more attractive

Beards look terrible on most men

I prefer a stubble, but its up to him whether he likes it or not. Clean shaved looks good as well. Designer looks hella weird. I love the 5'o clock shadow look. Kevin Jonas can look hot with any style... exclet beards hahah

CuriousJC · Answer

I used to grow my beard out a lot, because I shaved it everyday and I wanted to see how thicker it's become. Eventually I had to shave them for my girlfriend because she wouldn't kiss me. Every time she kissed me she's she said it felt like she was kissing the rug. To be honest I don't know why people have facial hair, dreadlock extensions, girl hair all the way down to their knees. People are taking the Rapunzel story a little too far that they're letting all that hair grow that far.

I have a Van Dyke - not really a "full on beard" but that would be the closest of the available answers. Van Dyke

NathanDavis · Answer

I have a clean cut, I prefer it that way and it's a habit...

but I don't mind a stubble, it feels good too... and it looks good too, or so they say, I've only had it because my girlfriends liked it and prefer it

I've grown beads just to see how it is and out of curiosity and I just don't care for them... lol

SkyCastle90 · Answer

Poll
1. Shaved
2. Light Stubble
3. Light designer stubble
4. Light Stuble with sideburns?
5. Beard lol

Lmao no justice for normal stubble, beards everything else inbetween I see.

Personally, I love a man with a well maintained beard. The fuller the better.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Clean but, as I never see anyone except one friend every couple weeks, I just never bother very often. Last time I shaved, about a month ago, I started with just my chin and mustache and noticed how much I looked like my great great grandfather, they way and kinda liked it so, I left the pork chops, for a while.

tartaarsaus · Answer

Both beard (as much as I can) and clean shaved are far too much effort, so I just hover between “too long” and “minimum setting the shaver thing allows me to”. So I just let it grow until I think it’s too long, shave it to the minimum I can (manual razor is too annoying) and then just let it grow.

Jaximus-Lion · Answer

Oh do i have to say it 🤣🤣🤣. Ok then! I am triple E 😝

Staximus · Answer

You only need to shave if you need to put on a gas mask, which is why they always made you shave in the military since WW1. Shaving and being "clean cut" is a fashion trend, not a gauge of your well-being. Before disposable razors, shaving was not an everyday thing.

Anonymous · Answer

I found I get more attention from women when I'm clean shaven.
But I've also found i get more respect when I let the facial hair grow in a bit. So I'm always torn between the to. Basically I just let it grow till the whiskers start annoying me then I shave it all off.

purplepoppy · Answer

Clean shaved. A few guys can pull off stubble or a beard but most of the time it looks like they're homeless

Rob596 · Answer

I have to be clean shaven. It sucks too because my facial hair grows so fast that I literally have to shave every single day. Otherwise I would have a huge beard by now if it wasn’t for work.

ohshee · Answer

Here it is becoming winter time and I just shaved my beard off. I have always liked to clean cut look but like with everything else in life I like to change it up

Lionman95 · Answer

I like it clean shaved or stubble because I don´t have much hair in the face. I wouldn´t be able to have a full beard because I have kind of empty spots where I don´t grow hear.

dustybiker · Answer

Not a huge fan of long term beards, gives the impression a weak chin is being hidden. Mixing it up between all is nice.

Heartache0405 · Answer

Either clean shaven or stubble. I don’t like the feeling of having a beard or mustache. It’s dry and uncomfortable and I don’t know the proper way to keep it.

Anonymous · Answer

Beard just covers the jaw line so it looks weird. Stubble is there but it doesn’t cover the jawline so it’s decent. Clean shaven shows off the jawline of you got low body fat and good bone insertions along with the high cheekbones so that takes the cake out of all these choices. And beards are such a drag to maintain.

I dont use blades anymore. Too much work for nothing. The closest my electric shaver will do is a very close stubble

libsaretards · Answer

I prefer to be clean shaven. I'm used to it from being in the military. Having anything more than a stubble is irritating to me, but even a stubble can be annoying.

Beard. I have had it for a while now. Currently I have a beardstache though... very trimmed beard/stubble with heavier moustache

f_ckjoebiden · Answer

What's worse than a beard, shaving it. Shaved all the time, turned into side burns, turned into sometimes a fuman, turned into a beard. Now it's beard until it's time to start from scratch, pretty sure next is full on Duck Dynasty beard.

Full (big) beard every day. It suits my personality and look, not to mention I don't have the 'manliest' jawline. At least a hand's width long, except in summer. I love my sideburns.

BazookaTrouper · Answer

I think full-on beards look cool, but having one can be really uncomfortable. I'm trying to honor Movember and satisfy my curiosity as to what I'd look like with a beard, but it's a PITA to feel like I'm trying to sleep in spruce needles every night.
