It's basically grandpa logic since I've heard similar for, like, ever. I'd say it's only recently that non-entry level positions are getting a bit more forgiving in that regard, particularly the tech sphere.
Personally can't work anywhere that demands I'm clean shaven. While I'd mentioned my scalp psoriasis in the past, I get a somewhat similar flaking/irritation up front if I'm shaving daily despite moisturizers or sensitive shaving creams. If I can manage 3-4 days in between I can usually be okay, but sometimes weather and such doesn't cooperate. At this point, I just do it about once a month when I buzz the hair.
