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 hate shaving and I think it’s a waste of time. I think facial hair can also act to make your appearance more visually interesting if you prefer to keep your hair cut really short like I do.
If I may quote Nick Offerman…
I grow a beard because I am neither a child nor a woman.
Screw beards, ALL HAIL THOMPSON AND RITCHIE!
- I’m lazy
- I can
- makes me look my age
- razor burn sucks
- 3’o clock shadow sucks
- who cares?
Shaving takes less time than keeping it tidy, at least for me.
I’m growing it to see how long it gets until it gets too annoying. Every day I want to shave it off or at least cut it fairly short.
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.
What oil are you using? Hands down the best stuff I have ever tried is from a small New Zealand brand called Lambert’s Luscious Beard Oils. I started getting compliments at work after switching to that stuff.
I’m at least six years in on my current beard. Many others before that.
Some dumb influencer is doing it and everyone now think that looks cool.
It does look cool.
It really doesn’t. :)
We’ll I mean yours obviously doesn’t
First there was WWII, when all men had to be skinheads. Those men continued shaving, and this became a culture handed down to their boys. Now, we’re rebelling against the elders who fucked up everything, so we grow beards to show that we’re different to them.
Source. A lumberjack appered in front of me in a dream I had in 2009.
I always figured rona caused a big enough surge in beards owing to WFH allowing folks to get past the scruff hump that beards could be back on the table again.
It tickles.
Beards are great. Shaving was the greatest crime of Romans.
Right up there with Carthage
??? Carthaginian men did not had that custom, most wore beards.
I think they mean the destruction of Carthage 😉
Yeah that too, if the Carthage was not destroyed it would serve as counterbalance to Romans at least for a time, and the vile shaving custom would not spread as much.
I think they meant the destruction of Carthage something I am still sore about

I prefer to shave so individuals can see that I have a chin / jawline.
I prefer not to shave, to make them wonder
Good for you
The +5 charisma buff was too hard to pass up.
Actually it is now moustaches that are back. And sometimes mullets.
I’d love to have enough hair to grow a mullet. Not that I want one, I just want that much hair.
I’ve had facial hair in one form or another since I was 13, now 45 and have a shorter ZZ-Top kind of beard. Wife refuses to let me shave it off.
