Lawrence has fur on his face

Lawrence loves to rub the fur on my face and now he has grown a beard and has fur on his face. Now when I rub my muzzle on his face I feel his fur. He says it bothers him and he can't feel my fur on his cheek when he nuzzles me so he is going to shave it off. I think he should keep it because it makes him one step closer to being a dog.
