But if you can persevere through that scruffy stage, it usually looks pretty good when it's fully grown in. I think the only time it doesn't work is for guys who just can't grow a thick enough beard.

That would be me. I've tried many times and just no luck. I think it has something to do with the hair loss that I was experiencing. Back in my 20's, I had the full beard for over a year. Couldn't do it now.

Yes the Mr Clean look isnt for everyone. But I have noticed the same. I am seeing more and more shaved headed guys in my town and most of them when i knew them from before when htey had hair also had the stash, goatee and or beard. Now they are all clean shavin. To me I dont think it is a summer time thing...but it is cooler on teh face and all...but I will have to admit...adn you all say the same..I look better Mr Clean..I feel better and much easier to take care of.

Sometimes I've gone with a little chin beard aka Capt.Beefheart style but would usually shave it off after a few days - one reason ... i think it makes my face & head look longer ... second reason .... though when I had hair it was always mousy colour whenever I grew my beard I found it had a lot of ginger in it (not that there's anything wrong with that) now though if & when I try to grow it .... the ginger hairs (& increasingly all the others too) are turning grey/white. (which actually I quite like occasionally ... gives y' a wise, man-o-the-world kind of look!) ;D
PS : I think you look fine without the beard, RazorX ... not sure about your choice of wallpaper though! :D

I shave it off every once in a while just for a change but I always let it grow right back because, for me, personally I like facial hair better. On me anyways. I just don't think I look right with the "mr. clean" look. One other big factor for me is I sort of have the double chin, or no chin, thing going on when I shave clean. Facial hair seems to shape my face up and appears to take a few pounds off of me. I personally have always liked the "chin strap beard" look but it takes more maintenance time. Because you have to shape it up and stuff like that. I also go with the full beard look from time to time but then that gets a little itchy. It just depends on my mood. I've been going with the goatee mostly since going sly just because it allows me to keep some facial hair but is easy maintenance also.

I think it's appealing, because when the headshaving movement first started it was like the "uniform" for you to get away with being totally bald...bald with full goatee...then the hipsters ditched the stache and left the bottom goat, then Mr. cleaned i guess is the next progression...
For me I was just happy that this time around "clean" I actually like it and don't find myself TOO hideous!
I wont ever rule out a goat though...i could be a flipper for sure...but i like that I feel like i can do that now! O0
