My husband is not allowed to shave his moustache. He can do any variation he wants: goatee, full beard, just a moustache, but the moustache is non-negotiable.
Without a moustache, he looks exactly like his brother who I cannot stand. (The creepy thing is that he and his brother have two different fathers. His mother’s genes are apparently unstoppable juggernaughts of hereditary dominance.)
IMHO he looks best in a full beard, and I’d rather feel his beard against my face than stubble. Yech.
I used to wear my hair very short; Mr. S liked it generally, but sometimes I went a little too short and he didn’t like it. We had a mutual threat going: If he ever shaved off his beard, I would shave my head, and vice versa. Fortunately it never came to that, or we both would have looked like dorks. 
Heh, just writing about it got me missing him again. He was such a sweet man. I elided a bit of information – he wasn’t my biological grandpa, but just a neighbor since I was very small, and he and his wife were “Grandma and Grandpa” to me my whole life. By the time I got married, all of my natural grandparents were gone, so Grandma-from-next-door was a guest of honor at our very small wedding. Unfortunately Grandpa was too ill to attend, so we visited him at home in our wedding clothes in the morning before the ceremony.
Naw, my inherent love of Slack and ennui helped seal the deal. That and that my girlfriend likes my beard and thinks that it’s soft enough that we can still smooch and do… other things.
I haven’t seen my husband without facial hair since we were in high school. I shudder to think about him shaving it off … he might look younger than me! Arrgh!
Just keep repeating to yourself: It’ll grow back. It’ll grow back.
I know what you mean. I always complain when one of my roommates shaves. I know, I know, it’s his face and his facial hair, but whenever he shaves it just makes me think “Ensign Babyface”. Only Frakes is much better looking. This guy…shudders
Monkey family joining in here. I married MrSin because he’s furry and I like furry guys. He can grow a beard in less than a week, and we’re talking big and bushy.
SinJr grew his first full facial beard at the age of 14. He was kept off the track at the age of 15 for the state track meet because he was obviousely not a high school student!!! I was informed by one of my students when SinJr was in college that he (Jr) had won the “hairiest ass” contest at the local Rocky Horror Picture Show showing. Big surprise 
Funniest Sin family hair moment was when MrSin shaved half his moustache and the opposite half of his beard for a Halloween costume. The next day he was shaving the rest of the facial hair so he didn’t look like a doofus at work. SinDaughter sat in the hallway outside the bathroom crying “Put it back Daddy, put it back!!”
The surprising thing about our little hairy family saga is that all of our progenitors are basically hairless. Moms, Dads, Grandmas, Grandpas; all were hairless, shaving less then once or twice a month.
MrSin and I get a shadow at about noon…kids at about 9 am :eek:
I did this the one time my father ever shaved his moustache off, when I was about three.
I was probably around 10 or so when my dad shaved off his mustache. My reaction? “Ewww”. My mom didn’t even notice! My dad went to his room and said he didn’t want to go to work until it grew back.

My husband looks gorgeous without his beard. In the seven years we’ve known each other he only shaved it off once, so I could see what he looked like. It did make him look a lot younger, and that - together with the fact that he hates shaving - is why he always has a beard.
If he were to shave his beard and leave the moustache I would start divorce proceedings.
In my wilder days I once shaved my head. I’d always wanted to do it, and one day I got a friend to do the honours. My then boyfriend, who was probably the only person I knew at the time who had a proper job, came home from work that evening and had a hard time controlling his facial expressions as he reacted to the sight. He was too sweet to tell me it looked terrifying.
He later confessed that when he woke up the next morning and saw a bald head on the pillow next to him he got a real fright.
I love my fiance’s hair free chest! I’ve told him that if it ever starts growing I want it gone. I hate facial hair too. But as my fiance doesn’t even need to shave on a regular basis, it has never been an issue.
Smooth is good. 
When I shaved off my beard (two companies and a thousand years ago) one of my co-workers called Pepper Mill and begged her to “make me grow it back”.
My husband hasn’t shaved since 1967. He’s got a gray/white beard and I probably wouldn’t recognize him without it. It’s soft and I prefer beards to cleanshaven faces.
My husband goes from full beard to moustache/goatee to clean shaven and I definitely like clean shaven the best. He’s got the cutest little mouth and an adorable dimple. (and I find it much more exciting to kiss a naked mouth than one surrounded by hair YMMV)
Currently he’s hiding those behind a beard which looks OK but I like the clean shaven hubby the best.
Funny thing is his mother hates any facial hair on him. Says it makes him “look like an asshole”. Gotta love mom
Facial hair can be nice, but you’ll notice that there aren’t too many people ordering waffles at IHOP with mustaches or beards. (Mrs. Butterworth doesn’t like facial hair) That, and when you ski, face-icicles can be embarrassing.
I loved having a mustache, but it had to go when I turned 35. (Evidently it took a look at the calendar and turned white!)
