Agree! The bearded pic is much better.
There are some exceptions. My Dad was military, had a U.S. Navy crewcut with the exception of about six weeks. I’ve only seen the pictures, but the mustache lasted I think a week. The fuller version made him look clownish. Mom told him to trim the sides back. He did so and it was uneven. So he trimmed the longer side and it became shorter than the other. On try number four, Mom said nothing, just gave him the nαzι salute. End of mustache!
One summer at our camp in New Hampshire, he just quit shaving altogether. His beard came in black, patches of gray, streaks of reddish brown, and one jowl white! Furthermore, it was scraggly. All he needed was a pair of overalls, a plaid flannel shirt, straw hat, hay seed for his mouth, a still!
He went back to work one day, shocked everyone he wanted to shock and at lunch, he went to the men’s locker room and shaved it all off.
