I follow the Greeks and Romans in this.
They considered beards uncivilised.
but I could choose to follow the old Germanic and Celtic costumes too.
They had beards.
Real men, those who went for 6 month fishing-trips to Island, in the middle ages, were morally obligated to have beards also.
Everything changed with the WWI, when Gilette safety razors destroyed the old shaving methods, and
started the 20th century pussification of men.
Civilisation is not always a good thing.
Do you have a full-grown beard?
