Top 9 reasons beards are bad:
to run a razor across our faces.
(After season 3 CSI, William Petersen grew a beard because
he got tired of shaving.)
(After season 1 of Star Trek TNG Jonathan Frakes grew a beard to
look more nautical and thus more mature.
The survey, undertaken by researchers for Gillette’s M3Power razor brand, found that over half
of the 500 women interviewed preferred the clean-shaven look – simply
because the majority perceive men with beards to be untrustworthy.
"The wearing of beards has been seen as a political liability for some time,
because of the historical belief that they are diabolical, unhygienic or disguise
the wearer's true face," says Allan Peterkin, assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Toronto.
"Beards have been perceived as an expression which could range from communist to anti-establishment," he added.
6. Since beards went out of style 100 years ago, we get with the
program.
In urban circles of Western Europe and the Americas, beards were out of fashion after the early 17th century; to
such an extent that, in 1698, Peter the Great of Russia levied a tax on
beards in order to bring Russian society more in line with contemporary Western Europe.)
1920s to the 1960s, beards were virtually forbidden in mainstream
America. The few men who wore beards during this period were either old,
Central Europeans in academia, or part of the counterculture, such as the "beatniks".
Even today there is prejudice against beards and against men who wear
beards, although it is much less serious than it once was.
(Note the ones who wear beards are primarily college professors and
other such ones who need them to show that they are supposed
to have real intel as stated in #3 in academia)

"There is even a reference to the gay subculture of 'bears': men
who are unapologetically hirsute. Largely a fringe element only a
few years ago, bear culture is winning converts among gay men
turned off by the plucked and waxed world of 'Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.'"

" Goatees are beards, I'm afraid. They also induce that tickling sensation on
kissing (including chaste 'friendship' kisses) that tickle and lead to skin irritation..
Beards are wrong. I had one once so I know. The only time they look remotely good
is on heroic cricketers in grainy 70s test match coverage.")
2. It's not to wise to have the Muslim, Al Quieda look now-adays.
