Bust by Laurens, initially awfully rough around the chin? (7)

I believe the answer is:

stubbly

'rough around the chin?' is the definition.
(having stubble)

'bust by laurens initially awfully' is the wordplay.
'initially' indicates taking the first letters.
'awfully' indicates anagramming the letters.
The first letter of 'laurens' is 'l'.
'bust'+'by'+'l'='bustbyl'
'bustbyl' with letters rearranged gives 'STUBBLY'.

(Another definition for stubbly that I've seen is " not clean-shaven".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
