To man wanting to kiss his father and mother good bye "the man who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is not fit for the kingdom"
To the young man who wanted to follow Jesus "sell ALL you have and give to the poor."
I have NEVER required any of this. Facial hair seems a small thing compared to this.
One thing all of these demands have in common. They were made by Jesus.

You are not Jesus, and beards were not one of them.
