Facial Hair Review..

Yuck.

When the lead singer of my favorite band, Our Lady Peace

decided to grow a beard (cultivating it and keeping it only for a brief time, during which was my first and, so far, only opportunity to see them live), I began giving the male facial hair question some thought. While I love Raine Maida

(OLP's lead singer), I am relieved he shaved the carpet from his strikingly amazing face:

No beard, adorable.

I am not completely against facial hair on a man. It depends on the man and how he keeps it. I think my biggest issue is that I have extremely sensitive skin and when a guy forgets or neglects to shave, kissing me is pretty much out of the question. It turns my face into something that resembles a sunburned porcupine victim.

There are some absolute musts in the facial hair department, such as:

Wolverine

Captain Jack Sparrow

Odin, Thor's father

Z.Z. Top

For the most part, I believe a man should keep it neat and trimmed. Both upstairs and down, by the way. My favorite style of facial hair... the soul patch:

It matches my landing strip!

All in all, facial hair is fine in my book, so long as it accents a gorgeous face without hiding it. Being lazy and not shaving doesn't count. I think if I were lazy and didn't shave, my man would have a far more negative reaction to it than I do when he doesn't shave ;)
