I've had a beard since 1965, with a short spell beardlesswhile teaching at boarding school. But I suffered from ingrowing hairs when I shaved, so I grew it back. They fired me, but I had a new job within two weeks, and the head was fired the next year, with my departure contributing to the revolt, so I never worried about any repercussions about hair after that.
My wife and daughters have never seen me beardless.
Unfortunately, I am losing my resemblance to the ArchBishop of Canterbury when ++Rowan goes (well, not quite, since he has more remarkable eyebrows)

Yes a beard , trimmed sometimes . I often notice we beard wearers have an unspoken rapport one with another , you know that instant recognition thing when passing on the road or street.
Some beards are friendly , others are slightly intimidating . I always hope mine is the former.

I am currently a beardless callow youngling, but I am expecting to sport a fetching goatee post-menopause.
