I've been clean shaven all my life. Still shave most days even though I'm 77-YO.
It's because of something my father said when I was young. He Said, "When a man has a bierd or a mustache, he always has something to eat."
It took me a minute or so to understand, but I haven't harbored a desire for facial hair since then.

There is no question in my opinion regarding a beard for myself. I saw a man, just a little bit older than me, with the same color beard, just a little thinner than my beard. Thought it looked horrible, made him look older and unkempt. Instantly convinced me that I did not want to look like that.

Many years ago I had a Doc Holliday type of mustache. I got so tired of turning chips with dips upside down I shaved it off and haven't looked back.

I wonder if the guys whose wives won't let them have a beard have veto power over how she wears her hair.

When you first became attracted to your wife, was it because you told her how to wear her hair? Did you have a beard at that time? Do you want your wife to be attracted to you?

Every week or so everything that sticks out longer than the comb tines gets the chop. Eyebrows too, they've always been wild and now my ears make me look like a koala if I let them go. I've been cutting my own hair since the 80s, I got tired of barbers cutting too much.

Full beard, shaved head
Before I shaved my beard I had that configuration (naturally).
I called it "Compensatory Hypertrophy".

I quit going to a barber when the price went up to $2. Got a hair cutting kit and my wife did the work. Eventually that task disappeared with the hair on top.

My wife was too timid, she took too long and was as heavy handed as the barbers. I get the cut I want in around 5 min.

I grew a mustache in early 1967. Then I got drafted so the mustache had to go. On leave around Christmas I grew it again and had it for 6 months until I got sent to Saigon and after a couple of days felt it was a pain in that weather, so off it came. When I got home the mustache came back and I had it until 1989 when I felt it was too much trouble trying to keep it trimmed, so off it came, again!
Today I shave every day and have not had a cut on my face in years. Remember guys with little pieces of tissue on their shaving cuts? The razor blades today are light years away from those in 1989.
I saw a piece on "CBS Sunday Morning" on the proper way to clean your razor to get extra life out of it and it was revealing! I think it may still be on their website. I have gotten 5 months out of Gillette blades but I am currently using Harry's blades from Costco and getting up to 6 weeks per blade. Shaving now is so much smoother than it was years ago.
I have a suspicion about Gillette blades. The ones that come packed with a new razor handle may be specially selected, and the ones that come in bulk packages are whatever came off the line. This may account for my varying results with those blades.

I’d say, proportionally arranged and strategically coordinated. Looks quite dapper.
