Yesterday I passed a barbershop and saw ads on their wall outside of men with beards and short hair. It is a revival or saving electricity ?

    I’m a unix-guru.

    If I were to shave I’d get a -5 penalty on my bash magic.

    If I skip showers for a month I can interface directly with any device in /dev

    What do you mean men are growing beards “again”? I haven’t noticed any trend between clean shaven / bearded. Some do, some don’t.

      Yeah, beards have been common since at least the ‘hipster/lumbersexual’ memes which were about 2008 or so. There’s not been any particular drop off since then. It’s just accepted that some people prefer or look better with a beard.

        Yeah, I haven’t been clean shaven since I could first pull off a beard. Last time I saw my naked face was 15 years ago.

        That said, I have started to put more effort into my beard to try to keep up with trends. Growing it out, oiling it, shaping the edges. It’s fun, but I still find myself trimming it down after too long just to make it easier to manage.

    Why do people on the internet think you don’t have to shave if you have a beard? You’re just shaving less area.

    For me, it’s sheer laziness. Can’t be arsed to shave more than once every 6 to 10 months.

    Do always find it funny when folks react strongly when I do shave. It’s hair growth, not a personality.

      My step dad is 50 and never amounted to anything in his life so his big thing that he has is his beard. He takes pictures and grooms it and its so so so stupid and it bothers me so much because he’s overweight and has done absolutely nothing worthwhile with his whole life but here is like oh yeah my beard is looking so great noone can grow the kind of beard I can. Like alright Dennis how about you go back and finish grade ten and get a real job other than selling pills.

    The question is: why are you shaving? Why are you so afraid of looking like yourself?

    When you have a beard, people respect you. They listen when you talk and hold doors open for you. I have a hard time trusting a man with a clean shaved face, because our interaction is starting off with a lie. I feel the same way about makeup and fake eyebrows and plastic surgery.
