Best Answer

Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was normally clean shaven until the 1860 election, when he grew a beard, allegedly because a little girl said he would look more dignified with one. Lincoln's beard set something of a fashion. Between 1861 and 1893, only two Presidents, Andrew Johnson and Grover Cleveland (both Democrats, incidentally) were clean-shaven. Chester A Arthur (Republican) had no beard, but sported a luxuriant moustache instead. All Presidents since 1893 have been clean-shaven, though two narrowly defeated candidates, Charles Evans Hughes in 1916 and Thomas E Dewey in 1948, had respectively a beard and a moustache.
