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 started shaving as a hobby during lockdown. Now I help run a shaving Lemmy.

      • I’m glad shaving hobbyists exist, y’all were a great help when I wanted to replace my Ross clearance safety razor, but I still don’t understand it as a hobby, lol.

    Beards are where the Communism is stored. As the ruling class become richer and more obscene, class consciousness grows amongst the working class. Hence, beards.

    So many men think they look sexy with a beard.
    Reality: You look like a serial killer from the backwoods.
    Trim and wash it properly or shave it off.
    Facial hair is such a turn off.

      Especially when most dudes growing beards look like they have public hair growing out of their face. They look ridiculous.

      I think they’ve given up on trying to get laid.

      I’m not growing it for you. I’m growing it because I like it for me. If you don’t like it, that’s your loss.

      Many men do look sexier with a beard. For some men it helps with obscuring a recessed chin and giving a ‘stronger’ shape.

      My personal preference is when men have bit of scruff imo. Like a week of growth with a full mustache. Obviously people like you dislike beards but everyone has their opinions.

      For every you, there’s a woman who feels compelled to pet me because of my beard. I’ll take that trade-off.

        Pet you? or your beard? Just to clarify.

        Vaginas are not allowed in my house. I’ll take “clean shaven dudes with a dick” for $1000 Alex.

    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

    I grew a beard after I got food poisoning and the flu back-to-back. I couldn’t be arsed to shave.

    I did try shaving years later but I hated nicking my chin with a razor and doing it every day was a pain.

    I really fucking hate wasting my time shaving and gave up on it during the pandemic, then people told me I looked better with it.

    When I was still in the closet, I grew and maintained a big beard as part of my attempts at performative masculinity.

    Not saying that this is what’s happening with most men who’re growing 'em out, but sometimes I see a bloke with a well maintained set of facial hair looking absolutely miserable and my egg radar starts shrieking.

      oh hey its me

      Though over the winter it was decidedly not well maintained, longest its ever been, etc. I kind of get weirdly less dysphoric about just letting things go vs. actively cultivating something I don’t necessarily want or like.

    Fashions change. We were about due for a swing back to beardy, I reckon.

    Personally, I’m bald, and I grow a really good one that, like, holds a shape. It just makes sense.

    • That’s the tism side of my brain. The ADHD side of my brain thinks shaving is the most boring chore ever. I fold and put away my laundry with greater frequency.
