Removed this and other references to the bearded and unbearded, citing Taldor, Echoes of Glory pp. 11f. and Taldor, the First Empire pg. 3:

Social status for both royalty and senators was historically tied to their lavish beards (leading to them being called the "bearded"). Greater, more extravagant beards are a sign of a higher status and there was a time when the wearing of beards was limited by law to nobles.

Per James Jacobs in 2016:

Inner Sea World Guide not mentioning it at all is because it doesn't exist in the current setting. The 3.5 original Campaign Setting is out of date and no longer considered canon; at this point, folks should be looking to the Inner Sea World Guide for the baseline information about the setting, and that means there's no bearded/unbearded stuff in the setting. If an individual GM likes that element, they're free to pick it up from what is essentially a "prior edition" of the campaign setting if they want, but that's essentially a house rule and no different than them adding or subtracting other elements of their own design to the setting.
