Danger Man told me something interesting yesterday.... he is a model and also does photography for other models, and when he's shooting a face that is round or softy or baby-faced, he'll use a black background -- something about the lack of light bouncing onto the edges makes the face look leaner and more defined. Long dark hair and facial hair have the same effect, apparently. I can see how some guys do look better with facial hair because they look more angular and edgy and strong. Unfortunately, a very light-colored beard has the opposite effect. For me, I don't care, as long as it's well-tended and doesn't scratch me too much. I would be sorry to see Danger Man hide his beautiful mug under a bunch of hair, though.
I would just like to issue a plea to men to stop growing beards that look like a brazilian-waxed woman... you know, that thin little strip in the middle of the chin, like Britney Spears' new married boyfriend? eeeeeyuck.
