I like the beard, but he also looks happier in the beard picture. Maybe the smile is more important! I'm 45.

My opinion?

The beauty of a men is in his beard, just as the beauty of a lion is in his mane.

I love beards, and think a nice well groomed beard is very manly. Clean, hair-less faces are for women.

Besides, I find clean shaven men to be 'very' prickly. I always tease my uncle by telling him his face feels like sandpaper.
