Hipsters, look away now....
If like me gents you hate to shave then probably, at some stage you develop a decent amount of facial fur, and while it’s in style it may have you looking hipper than a Shoreditch hipster but what if beards are on the way out, and the lumbersexual man is a dying breed (cue shock and horror)?
So, when I received some interesting research from the people at Fashion Beans in the form of a very snazzy infographic I read it with interest.
While my other half prefers me with a beard, personally I think I look better after a clean shave, and my face less round in shape. What do you think?

Clean shaven, a touch of stubble and then full blown beard.... |
The full infographic is reproduced with the permission of Fashion Beans below, but the headline results show that 50% of people prefer the clean shaven look on a man while only 15% said they preferred a beard.

Just in case you can't expand and read it in larger text, here it is broken down below! |
So, the people have spoken (well, the 1,001 women who were surveyed), and Fashion Beans have helpfully provided some useful advice in their info graphic as to how you too can the five steps to a perfect shave. I for one will take advice where I can get it!
Is it the death of the beard? Well, I have to say I may be staying with my beard in the colder months, but come summer, the beard will be not be given a stay, it shall be executed without mercy as my face gets to lap up the sun. Step away from those flowers for your Spring beard gents (flowers in the beard is so 2014), the evidence says we should be shaving more, and that the clean shaven look is what others prefer!
Fashion Beans wasn’t something I had heard of before, but I’m glad I did. A few visits to their website and I’m hooked on their fashion and male grooming offer. Throw in grooming hints and tips and this is a must visit for men interested in their grooming and women wishing their other halves would take an interest!
Which do you prefer, clean shaven, stubble or a full blown beard? Let me know in the comments below.

The beard is best! Save the Beard! x
ReplyDeleteBye bye beard! After I try those beard oils!
DeleteI say you look better with a beard, I think its all about how the man feels x
ReplyDeleteI prefer a clean shave but I would never tell my partner to shave his beard if he ever decided to grow one.
ReplyDeleteGenerally prefer clean shaven, but I think the beard quite suits you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Erica.
DeleteI prefer beards or stubble. I'm with beautyqueenuk save the beard!

My hubs only shaves about once a week and although he can't grow a full beard without being patchy i do like a bit of stubble ;-)
ReplyDeleteI like clean shaven or a little stubble or goatee.
ReplyDeleteMy other half shaved off his beard the other night. He only took away half, then came into the room to surprise me. I nearly had a heart attack - it was such a fright to see him with only half a big beard!
ReplyDeleteNathan hates to shave but I always make him do it. I hate it when he tries to kiss me with stubble. LOL

With love from Lou
Brilliant post! As an almost unbroken rule I prefer clean shaven men. That said, you look fab in a beard so I might revise my rule!!
ReplyDeleteMy man goes clean shaven in the summer and a beard in the winter!
ReplyDeleteI tend to do the same nowadays (now I can grow a proper beard lol)
DeleteClean shaven
ReplyDeleteMy husband has to shave every day for work (military) so I don't have a choice of him having a beard lol but I like clean shaven anyway!
ReplyDeleteI think you should go with whatever you feel most comfortable. Personally I prefer clean shaven x
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter what others think, men should go with whatever look they prefer. But I prefer a clean shaven look.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, it should be down to what makes a bloke comfortable. I love clean shave but get a lot of pressure from the missus to grow a beard.
DeleteI love when my hubby has a full on beard :)

My preferences: clean shaven or stubble, DEFINTELY NOT mustache and beard at a push. I think you look better without. If you want to stay bearded and fashion changes, move to Iceland, there are some serious beards there!!
ReplyDeleteSave the beard ~ it's very hipster
ReplyDeleteMy other half always goes for a beard, its strange when he gets it all shaved off.
ReplyDeleteBeards all the way!
ReplyDeletePersonally I prefer clean shaven but my dad has always had a beard and he looks odd if he shavesa it off
ReplyDeleteBeard suits you well.
ReplyDeleteI think all men should have some facial hair lol
Charlotte :)
So many people I know are really into beards but I think they suit less people than have them!
ReplyDeleteI think it depends on the face! For the most part I do love a clean shaven face but I am not against a beard. xx
ReplyDeleteI do like a beard.....or stubble. I agree it does depend on the person though.
ReplyDeleteClean shaven for sure but I don't complain when the husband wants to grow a beard. It usually only lasts a few months then he gets fed up and shaves it off again :)
ReplyDeleteI actually liked you with a beard, it suited you very well.
ReplyDeleteI love the infographic - my husband has been trying to grow a beard his whole life - he only gets patches lol!
ReplyDeleteI love a beard!
