whiskerless

Lacking facial hair

Whiskerless describes someone or something lacking whiskers—the facial hair on a man's cheeks and chin, or the long sensory hairs around an animal's muzzle.

Applied to men, it suggests a clean-shaven or youthful appearance.

For animals like cats or seals, whiskerless usually indicates an unusual or pathological condition, since whiskers serve important sensory functions.
