Just explain that your stubble is much, much more bristly than the beard. If she doesn't like the way it looks, you may have a bigger problem. Try explaining that you're like Samson and if you shaved your beard off you'd no longer go like a train.
Or find a more sensible woman. I've got a handlebar moustache at the moment (it's for charidee - I was being sponsored for male cancer research) and she hasn't quite got round to complaining yet.
