[Error: unknown template qotd]I like them when they're on Delgado's Master. I like them when Toshiro Mifune wears them. I like Admiral Adama's New Caprica 'stache. And when my Best Beloved chooses to wear a beard, I love him. The most recent beardly iteration actually looked rather good.

Absent those three? No. Nope. Nyuh-uh. They hide the shape of a man's face, and muddy up the reality of who he is for me. And most men look far more attractive, in my eyes, without facial hair (Aragorn, Boromir and such notwithstanding.)

I'm perfectly aware that for some guys, the facial hair is part  of what and who they are. I'm also aware that some facial structures might be improved by a bit of camouflage; if either of those things obtains for a gentleman, who am I to dictate my personal tastes to him?

Still ... hirsute? Not here.
