what would you do if you could not grow a beard.would you let your hair grow out or just have a gotee.
-
If your beard is light or patchy, I would keep clean shaven. No need to grow your hair. I'm seeing alot more guys with a shaved head and no facial hair lately. It's a nice clean look.
-
If I can't grow a beard... definitely go all the way and shave it smooth,like Mr. Clean
-
It depends... some "lighter" beards look really good, short. A GOOD beard barber can do miracles. You don't need to "Go Viking or Go Home", lots of options out there.
-
yes; the lumberjack craze is finally over and more and more guys are ditching their beards, (and the maintainence).
In fact, I was thinking about going fully clean on New Years Day! Haven’t decided yet. What do you guys think I should do?
-
Go for it, like we say, it will grow back! For some reason, I've been thinking of shaving the beard for a few months now. I don't know why, kind of like when I wanted to first shave my head, curious to see what it looks like. I turn 65 in a couple weeks, thought that would be a good time to make a change. Doubt it I'll go through with it.

A shaved head looks goo with either a beard or goatee or clean shaven - your preference.
-
If the goatee is an option, give that a try. If you don't like that, then shave it. I did the goatee/circle beard for many years (20?) before transition to a full beard. My cheeks remained patchy until my mid 40's.
-
I shaved off almost all of my facial hair last week. Only kept a small patch under my chin.
I have gotten a lot of compliments - seems like getting rid of the grey beard has made me look less "old"
-
Every guy is different. I would keep my head shaved even if I could grow no facial hair. I have had many facial hair styles over the years, from a solo mustache, a circle beard (mustache with a connecting goatee), a van dyke (mustache and goatee not connected), a balbo/hollywoodian, and a full beard. I think my face looks better with facial hair of any style over fully shaved.
But there are a lot of guys that look very good fully shaved, with or without head hair.
-
If you by chance have handsome features, for example Yule Brenner ( didn’t check the spelling). The full face shave is going to look good . But many of us not so good looking, a little facial hair helps us look better. My opinion any way.
-
To me this is a "To each his own/YMMV" situation.
-
I cannot grow a thick full beard so just keep the stubble on my face buzzed down short. It looks great with a shaved head.
-
I see so many more guys with shaved heads AND faces. Many are military, police, firemen, and politicians. Typical professions that sometimes limit facial hair, but embrace bald or near-bald haircuts. This could be the basis for a clean shaven trend.
I would love to try the all shaved look, but I know I look like a dork without facial hair. I know, I know, it will grow back!
-
I'm almost 29 and I can't grow a beard however I have started to apply Minoxidil to my face twice per day. I don't notice very many men with shaved heads also having shaved faces though I'd like to see more.

Why not experiment and see what you like? You can always shave it off or grow it out as the case may be.
