If I want to have a discernible chin, then facial hair is mandatory.
Funny story. About 20 years ago I had a trimmer accident and ended up having to shave off my beard. My wife and I went out to a dinner that night. There was a huge mirror behind the bar and I was idly scanning the crowd in the mirror. I got as far as my wife and noticed this guy standing awfully close to her. I started to get hot and then realized that guy was me.
I haven't shaved since. Now I just do a goat.
