It's partially dependent on face shape and beard density, but generally I've found that bald guys and guys with long hair look better with facial hair.
Whereas having a classic short back and sides type haircut looks good with a clean shaven face, at least if you have a strong chin/jawline.

Hmm.. actually you might be on to something here. Maybe it's because of the balance. Bald / long hair + beard = good. Short hair - beard = good.

Short hair looks great with a stubble beard. Not so much with a full beard.

Also, Madonna wtf.

reply

Jude Law looks feminine without the facial hair. Any facial hair on him is better.

Also, don't deny Madonna's beard.

Robin Williams was actually a beter actor with a beard.

Beards can affect acting abilities? Interesting.

reply

Yess, the acting gene is in facial hair. That's why men are better actors than women.

What 's up with actors and beards? And pro athletes? I see more and more celebrities with facial hair. Even Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau has jumped on the bandwagon.

I've seen baseball players who look like they just stepped out of a time machine from the Woodstock Festival. The hippie era was over with by the 1980s. I guess they didn't get the memo.

This is the 21st Century. Safety razors have been around for over 100 years. There's no excuse for this.

You're jelly.

Why would I be jealous? Why would I want to look like a 1960s hippie or someone from the 19th Century? This is 2020, not 1820.
