Beard of the Week X
When I was in graduate school, our department (physics) had a secretary who was very sweet, very helpful, but rather naive in many ways. One day — and I don't remember how this came about, since encouraging females in this way was not exactly up my alley — she happened to feel my beard. I have always kept it pretty short, but never stubbly.
She was surprised to find that it felt soft. I was surprised, of course, that she was surprised. Just now I've started wondering whether this softness has a noticable variability with color. Empirical studies may be called for.

Hair color has nothing to do with it. The cleaner and finer the hair, the softer it will be.
