1. Then don't grow one.

Problem solved.



Live and let live.

[Gomez163]

2. I'm ugly enough w/o one.

[bigwillq]

3. I'm sure that is not true.

Self-esteem does a body good.

4. Oh, FFS! He's been shaving for 50 or more years and is maybe really fucking

tired of it. Can't he just do whatever he wants to do with his facial hair without someone whining about it??

5. The shareholders of Gillette, Harry's and Barbasol respectfully disagree.

6. They can all go straight to hell. nt

7. Maybe they're hockey fans.

It is playoff season, you know.

8. Al Gore did the same thing

Let them relax.

More power to them.

12. Letterman looks like he's aged 20 years in no time. n/t

13. I'm not digging Dave's look

I don't have a problem with beards, but I think his would look better trimmed.

Jon Stewart always seems to ditch shaving when he can. I remember he quit shaving when he took time off to direct "Rosewater".

Of course if their wives are cool with it, who cares?

Michael Stipe is another one that could use a trim IMHO.

14. I like Jon Stewart's beard. Dave's, not so much.

But as long as they like it, that's all that matters.

My SO is retired and thought about growing one, but it wouldn't be a good look for him. Still, if he grew one I'd learn to not dislike it so much. Maybe.
