Since its invention all US Presidents have been clean shaven. At least according to the history channel, I've done a bit of research and it does seem to be a fact. Anyone have any proof otherwise? Just my own curiosity.
The safety razor wasn't invented until 1904. Lincoln was President well before that.Even Lincoln?
Yeah, I realized that right after I posted, lol. I started a search and Taft came up as the last president to have facial hair. He rocked a pretty sweet mustache. He took office in 1909.The safety razor wasn't invented until 1904. Lincoln was President well before that.
He did have a mustache, thank you. So not all were clean shaven, unless mustaches don't count.Yeah, I realized that right after I posted, lol. I started a search and Taft came up as the last president to have facial hair. He rocked a pretty sweet mustache. He took office in 1909.
Probably true, my wife says I look 10 years older with facial hair. Being that its mostly gray she is probably right. LOLI think presidents shave because it makes them look younger.
