I'm also not into beards, but as you say, there are some exceptions like Aragorn, Jack Sparrow, or look also at him http2.bp.blogspot.com/-rmIsybOZZpQ/T9SPkq8sIsI/AAAAAAAABEo/7XilFG8NC_k/s1600/Barry%2520Gibb%25201.jpg, Barry Gibb (a pic from the 80ies) - he looks absolutely hot with beard - and definitively more hot than without beard. :)
Ah, SaphiX, you must have read my mind...! >.< But seriously, he's handsome! I'm not really into beards in general, but don't we all just LOVE Aragorn with his stub - and Captain Jack Sparrow with his weird goatee - and, and, and.... need I go on?! This dude is a serious dandy-warrior!!! :D
