Why did our Presidents stop growing facial hair?

Beards and mustaches are as popular as ever. Why did this change?

Harry Truman briefly wore a goatee.

Interesting bit of Presidential trivia - not counting sideburns (such as John Quincy Adams) - all Presidents were clean shaven until Lincoln - then all Presidents from Lincoln (1861) through Taft (through 1913) sported facial hair except Andrew Johnson and William McKinley.
That was also the worst run of luck for Presidents, with 3 shot to death and 1 impeached, although that was not directly related to the facial hair as McKinley was one of the "shot to death" and Johnson the "impeached" one.
Since Taft, not only have we had no Presidents with facial hair, there have only been 2 major party candidates to sport facial hair (both Republicans) bearded Charles Evan Hughes (lost to Woodrow Wilson in 1916) and mustachioed Thomas Dewey (lost to FDR in 1944 AND a close one to Harry S. in 1948).

Beards disappeared when indoor plumbing and hot water at the turn of a faucet became commonplace. Facial hair is a pain in the arse. Almost every guy who can grow a beard does so at some point. Almost every one of them gets tired of it eventually and shaves it off.

Lol, no, not really.
Having had to shave for work the past 11 years, I love every opportunity I get to grow out my beard.

every time i see someone slagging off facial hair for whatever cockamamie reason they might have farted out today, I assume that their facial hair looks quite similar to this:
remember, sir, you only justify your jealousy of facial hair by believing it to be trashy because the version you see the most is in the mirror.

A man without a beard is like bread without its crust.
