Well, I guess that you don't know many people. Hardly anyone that I know is not clean-shaven.

Really? Maybe it's an English or age thing. I'm 45 and only one of my friends is clean shaven. The building site I am currently working on has about 100 blokes, I think there's only 2 of us that shave. Everyone else has either a beard or stubble.

My take is that it is not just an English thing but an age thing. Older generations tend to be clean shaven and younger one not so much. I think the break line is about 50 years of age.

I've always looked at it as a social thing. Upper class business type...clean shaven.

The rest is what it is, a choice. I've chose to never shave off my stache, again. Once was enough. Looked like a skinned rat.

Yeah, most of the blokes on site are not English Definitely an age thing.
