beardedness

For a study published in the journal Psychology in 1973, eight young men were photographed in four progressive states of beardedness.

Male pogonotrophy (the growing of facial hair; i.e., beardedness) is often culturally associated with wisdom and virility.

A few drips come off the bottom and are caught by his freshly washed goatee (still trying to find the right balance between beardedness and vulnerability, Randy has allowed one of these to grow).
