I like a little scruffiness on Rob
Although when it starts to get too long, I tell him its time for a trim


Once he shocked me when he had the beginnings of a beard growing (ughhh, much more than the usual scruff I like), and then shaved it completely off! I'd never seen him with anything less than a goatee in the time we'd been together. He scared the crap out of me
I was like "umm whoa, how did Orrin (his brother) get into my room!?"

Clean shaven please!

Kieran says if I want him to shave then I must buy him a new razor!


Kara, I prefer your hubby's "facial hair situation" in the 2nd picture - he seems to suit it more?

I don't mind looking at it...it looks good on some guys. I prefer DH to be clean-shaven, though, because I really hate the FEEL of it.

I can't stand it when my fiance hasn't shaved. His facial hair is really prickily and hurts if I kiss him. He doesn't shave very often though. He just trims it a couple times a week and shaves every couple weeks.

you know - beard, mustache, etc. i prefer shorter beards to those long ones - an inch is enough for the hair to be soft-ish & still emphasize his manliness.

I'm not really sure about this one. I tend to lean toward clean shaven, but I've seen some guys who look great with a little facial hair.

My ex-husband had blond hair, brown mustache, and a red beard. He looked terrible when he grew facial hair (besides the mustache), almost like a patchwork quilt, lol!

There's a guy I work with who looks.....>sigh< >drool<....um....distracting....yeah, distracting is a good word...when he grows facial hair. I totally lose my ability to think...much less talk!!!

Hmmm... it's interesting that a lot of the ladies on here say their hubbies/fiances/SOs only shave a few times a week, trim up, etc.

And they are younger people. So I am wondering if that shaving every day thing is generational now. My BF is 57 - he shaves EVERY MORNING! I like it because I get to check out his handiwork afterward and I like the residual smell of the shave cream!

Sometimes I love it, other times not so much I think the smooth look looks much better. Incidentally, my husband does both due to this preference and will leave some scruff for me if I ask
otherwise he is shaving daily.

i think a man with scruff is so sexy....my BF has always had some scruff since i met him. im not attracted at all to those men with the clean shaven baby faces.

About every 5 years or so I get the urge to grow a goatee or something. It typically lasts 1-2 months and then I get tired of it. In some ways I've always liked it when I have facial hair because it makes me look a bit older, although now at 35 that's not as big of a deal as it used to be. The main reason I end up shaving it is usually I get tired of trying to keep it even on both sides.

I also like the discipline of shaving every day (I do shave at night though, because I can get away with it and I don't like shaving in the morning when I'm cold). I may skip a day on a weekend if I'm not planning on going anywhere, but that's about it.

my poor hubby has patches all over his face where hair doesn' t grow, and his hair takes for ever to grow too!


he has a little goatie that suits him and i like it, although when you feel it because its so coarse it feels like pubic hair!


If he has had his mustache for a little while he usually asks me for my opinion if he should shave it or not, i do like it shaven, and he always looks soo young!

I've always had a thing for men with nicely trimmed mustaches & beards - especially dark haired men.
Hairy chests turn me on, too - as long as it's not ape-like.

My husband has patches on his face where hair doesn't grow also. Same with on his chest. There are just some spots that refuse to grow hair.

I love the way it looks on DH. He grew a full beard from Thanksgiving til New Years. It was just unpleasant to kiss him-so I would have to say "Ick!"

I liked kara leigh's idea of posting a photo of her husband in various states of scruff (pictures are fun!) so I'm posting one of my SO. Hope you all don't mind. He does keep his facial hair tidy, so I don't get poked while kissing.

That's what he looks like most of the time, but right before he "shaves" he has the scruff on the sides. lol Right now he just has the mustache and goatee, no scruff.

Interesting, the results are almost even! Well I said I love it but....I love the way it looks but i hate when a guy gets near me that way because it's just annoying on my skin especially my face ....But I do love the look, so I guess if I had to pick i'd choose with it...
