I don't understand this trend either. Grow a full beard. I did twenty years ago. I like the look of it (although my wife hates it.) I don't have to shave every day...just trim it twice a week.
I also have grown a pony tail. I like it because it pisses off some people who think I am an octogenerian hippie. But it also saves me the cost, time and trouble of a haircut every two weeks.

Yes I agree with you. You and I are apparently from an earlier generation where clean shaven men were the order of the day but not now. I happen to prefer the clean shaven look as well.

Sounds good, but wouldn't that only be effective in the water or tub?

I tried to grow a beard once when I was around 19. My dad took one look at it and said,

"I don't know exactly what that is that you are trying to cultivate on your face, But I've got it growing wild around my A$$."

I shaved it off and never tried again.

Personally, I like the look. It's really no different than the long hair fad, or the flat top haircut, or shaved head etc. It's just a fad. I like it because I don't like shaving and the stubble, even though grey, covers much of my scars from acne and aging enlarged pores that seem to grow in size the older I get.

I wish I looked like your model up there. But that ain't happening any time soon. LOL

Over 80 and don't shave every day out of laziness, but this "stubble" look is like "Dress-down" Fridays- looks slovenly in a business situation---

I hate it. It looks like they are too lazy to look their best for the day or they just got home from a week long camping trip. It really turns me off when they look like that in the movies. It just tells me that they would rather look like bums than a good wholesome person.

Maybe that's what my grandfather meant when he said "You look like a bum!" No, he wasn't British or Aussie...

At age 70, I often don't shave, but l have, several reasons. One is that I had to for work for many years, and secondly, due to ongoing problems with skin cancer, it has become painful to do so on many parts of my face...therefore, I only do so when absolutely necessary.

Lots of grunge looks mentioned previously. Just don't get it. I think neatness counts, and my personal viewpoint is, none of these fadish looks are anywhere close to being neat.
