beardlessness

Having no stubble

Beardlessness is the state of having no beard—whether from youth, genetics, shaving, or inability to grow facial hair.

The word sometimes carries connotations of immaturity or inexperience, since beards have long been associated with age and wisdom: His beardlessness made him look younger than his thirty years.
