The downside of stubble is fairly obvious to anyone who has interacted with a boyfriend/husband sporting very short facial hair.
In a word, it's painful.
To make it clear, here it is summed up in one chart - as facial hair grows, you may think it looks better but it feels worse to anyone who tries to kiss you.
Some may find a full beard to be more comfortable, but the peak scratchy phase of stubble is all but inescapable.
Bottom line? If you like the look of facial hair on your man, you'll likely agree with the old refrain, love hurts.
