Does it mean the same as "clean shaven" or does it mean more than that ?

It has morphed into more than just a comment about appearance. At one time it meant clean, shaved and well barbered. Now it generally means some one who would value creating a good first impression, a person generally clean in body, thought and deed. A 'clean cut kid' probably won't rip you off, and is presentable to society.

Not really, although the two are linked. A clean cut jawline (which is what I guess ur talking about) is clearly defined, firm, no excess fat. As if it's been cut cleanly from the mould. Facial hair (long may it grow!) would tend to mask this. Hope this helps.

around here people use it to say that a person looks nice. They're clean-shaven and just clean in general. They're clothing is modest, etc.

Clean cut means neatly dressed and just looking neat in general.

Usually more than that but its a cultural thing and can mean different things in different cultures In American and western European society it usually means well dressed, and well groomed, with clean conservative apparel and fitting into cultural norms.

I think menage literally means "household". I love your Einstein quote by the way. I agree completely!

clean cut could be a guy with a beard but it has to be neat as well as the rest of him....

It means that a male projects a very well groomed and presentable appearance.
