Hygiene, people, hygiene.

In any case, any serious company working under a set of ISO normatives will promptly have you shaving to keep their products uncontaminated.

I should know, 2010 was the year I have to shave for the first time in 5 years :/

i dislike these new beard trends, by the way. stubble is sexy. maybe a little tiny bit of outgrowth beyond that, is as far as i go. sorry, full beards do not look good on men below 70. and even then...

its trendy right now to have a beard which I have no problem with , its just when your talking to a beardy and they have food stuck in it .. makes me gag a little

Eh I can't stand the hair touching my lips, so I keep everything short... I figure once spring hits I'll save it off...makes sense in the winter...

It very much depends on who the beard is on. Some (a few) men can get away with a full beard while some look better with just a few days growth.
