I think I look better with some stubble (but not a full beard). However it's obviously prickly and I remember hurting a girl from kissing with stubble. I've looked for tips online for how to kiss with stubble, without hurting the girl, but don't get any proper answers. The answers from girls seem to be "I prefer clean shaven", "Depends how good of a kisser you are" or "I find stubble sexy but it hurts my face but I still put up with it anyway". The answers from guys are just whether they have stubble or not and whether their girlfriend likes it or not.

Is there any way you can kiss a woman when you have stubble, without hurting her? Or do you just have to accept it will hurt her face?
