I wear a beard during all of the months that I do not ref. I shave for every season and for the camps. I personally have zero problem with facial hair in general, but I, obviously, "play the game" with regards to shaving. I believe that one must fit in in their area in this regard. If the assignor doesn't like it...don't do it.

If you have a beard and have attained the level in officiating that you desire--don't shave. If you have a beard and haven't gotten where you want--the beard may be a deterrant.

It does appear, to me anyway, that those who choose to have beards are finding everything they can to justify their choice. If you are happy with what is going on--don't worry about it.
