When I was a student at BYU, the honor code mandated that students could not wear beards (except in a few special circumstances). I loved it. I'm sorry to all you beard wearing fellows out there, but I think beards make you look unkempt and unattractive. I realize that my personal opinions are just that -- personal. But to my view, a clean shaven man is much better looking than one with facial hair. I include mustaches and sideburns in this. I will admit that there are a few guys who do look better with a well trimmed beard or mustache, but they are so few and far between, and I think it's due to familiarity rather than actual looks.
That being said, I hate shaving. It's a pain and it causes all kinds of headaches. If I could get away from shaving, that would be great. But I hate how my face looks with even a little bit of scruff. Luckily, I don't have sensitive skin. I can shave dry with a fairly sharp blade, and I'm usually okay. I often use an electric razor, though, because it's fast and easy. It's still a bother, though. One of the many dichotomies in my life. I have to sacrifice in one aspect to benefit in another. That seems to be a pattern throughout my experience. What do you think?
