There is nothing to beard but beard itself!

Besides, do we really want to reduce the game down to repeating beard memes? DF is plenty capable of generating its own memes without having to rehash every Flanderization of the race that's already pretty Flanderized.
Kohaku speaks words of wisdom.

Maybe in some dwarven cultures, or goblin cultures, or whatever, a man's beard is a sign of his honor or something else important, and shaving off his beard is a great punishment. This should NOT be standard. It should be a "quirk" of a civilization, not a feature of a race.
