Beards - Yay or nay?

[TuxSky]

How do you guys feel about beards? I've become very unlucky all of a sudden because everytime I shave I always cut myself.

I was thinking about just leaving it and letting it grow out for the first time and wondered what how you guys feel about beards.

I like them, I wouldn't say I hate them... unless they smell or something then.. ew.
I've seen some guys with their beards really short and well-groomed and they look really good, I think I might grow mines out a bit just to be able to go to a barber and get it like theirs.

EDIT : Darn, I should have just made this a topic on facial hair in general. V__V
