Males of all races except Gor'Togs, Prydaen, and S'Kra Mur can grow facial hair. (Female Dwarves also have facial hair.) The appearance and maximum length of facial hair varies slightly between races.

Facial hair grows naturally over time in DragonRealms and can be removed, shortened, or styled. The basic tools are the razor and clippers, which are sold at general stores. Empaths can also shift the length of facial hair and even permanently remove it. Gelfurjaal unguent can also be used to permanently remove facial hair, or to temporarily prevent facial hair growth between deaths.

Stubble

Facial hair initially grows as stubble. At the stubble stage, the noun is 'stubble,' and mustache or beard will not work. From fully clean-shaven, stubble grows in 'on your face' and you do not at this point have a seperate beard and mustache. With facial stubble, you cannot use the <lip> or <chin> arguments for Remove to shave only one. If you shave off your mustache or beard it will grow in as separate stubble on your chin and upper lip.

It does not seem possible to cut down to stubble with clippers, this stage can only be reached by growth.

Stubble Verbs

Some beard interactions are unique to stubble. LICK, PEER, RUB, SCRATCH, TAP, TURN, and WAVE function the same as with a beard.

BRUSH stubble (while holding a brush or comb)
