Menfolk: Your church's standards on facial hair?

[Pelerin]

Yeah I never grew one and don’t want one. Just the daily combing to get all the food crumbs out makes it a no for me.

Daily shaving seems like it would be a bigger hassle to me.

Comedians are coming out of the woodwork here. Fortunately I'm not a man, so I don't have to beard the lion in this den. Come to think of it, male lions that are castrated lose their manes because of testosterone loss. Which loss I guess would be the mane consideration to the poor guys.

Someone once said that in today's society where the men are being feminized, and the perversion with LGBTQ crowd, having a beard stands out as being masculine.
I'm not sure where the idea of shaving came from and as I think about it, it doesn't make a lot of sense.
However, I've always shaved and prefer it that way.
I keep telling myself, someday I'll grow a beard...

I agree, daily shaving would prolly be a hassle. However once a week with a hoe works pretty good. My guess is its quicker than keeping a beard trimmed.

One historical basis for shaving is the NOT having a beard was advantageous during combat. You cannot grab a guy by the beard. Being serious

A good reason for growing a beard for those who don't support violence.

I would have thought that losing the handle would make it easier for a man to escape and therefore prevent violence!
