Clean-Cut Look for Japanese Bureaucrats

If you live in the Japanese city of Isesaki, you must shave your beard in order to get a public service job. Isesaki authorities have ordered their staff to shave off beards and moustaches after complaints from public.

Authorities in Isesaki, have ordered all male employees to shave off their facial hair, and banish all thoughts of growing any, following complaints from members of the public who said they found dealing with bearded bureaucrats "unpleasant".

The ban, the first of its kind among Japanese public officials, applies to any manifestation of facial hair, from lovingly cultivated full beards to trendy goatees and designer stubble.
