I know alot of people here like long beards too but does anyone like the clean-shaved look? I do. I still have a goatee from when I had short hair but as soon as my hair hits the 1 1/2 year mark or around there I'm going to shave that off. Maybe if I had blonde hair I would leave it, I feel it looks better on blonde people. I don't know, the black hair, long black beard... just looks dirty to me, just my opinion though. I know most people here are't exactly dying to conform to societys standards as far as looks go but I still want to look presentable, the people i see with long hair combined with the huge beard usually look really dirty, but once again thats only my opinion and it's probably based on the fact that that is what i have seen growing up. But anyone else here like the long hair w/no beard combo?
I actually like that look, but I think facial hair makes me look a bit more professional.
i actually prefer a neatly trimmed mustache/goatee combo for myself.

The color of the hair doesn't make a difference to me...I am like you - I too think it looks dirty. Myself, I have a permanent "5 'o clock" shadow. I use an electric shaver and set it on the next to the lowest setting and usually try to shave about every other day...this enables me to never be closely shaved but to also never be any longer than a permanent "5 'o clock" shadow. It gives you that "rebel" look, but also it is somewhat neat all at the same time. As for the hair, I am a neat freak so my hair gets washed and conditioned "every" day...good hygiene is very important to me - I don't care for the "greaser" look.
thats exactly the look im going for
I can go both ways, really, however, my wife prefers me clean-shaven. I must admit, clean-shaven has a few distinct advantages over a beard in terms of practical applications (i.e. food does't get caught), but I don't find beards/mustaches/goatees any less attractive than someone who's also clean-shaven.
Kinda depends on the person. Santa Claus doesn't look "dirty" and he's got hair all over the place. Charlie Manson, on the other hand, looks dirty no matter what state his hair is in.
Betcha never thought you'd read a comparison of Santa and Charles Manson, now did ya?

ME. Never favored facial hair. Just my opinion for me only.
