Does crying feel different with a beard/no beard? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Sorry for the super odd question - I started wondering when writing from a male character's perspective - but yeah, does it feel different to have tears running down your face with a beard vs. without? What happens to tears when they reach your beard? Do they hang on to the first few hair they touch, or do they run through the beard?

I’d describe it as very similar to having the first drops of rain hit the top of your head. After enough time or accumulation, it will start to run, but the hairs catch a few at first. Less so than the top of your head (since the beard is a vertical surface), but the same general feeling.

Practically speaking, I don’t think it’s much of a different experience than tears on a smooth face.
