I’m lazy and can’t be fucked shaving regularly

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.

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.

Coreidan ,

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.

CaptObvious ,

Well somebody has, at any rate

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.

@Teon@kbin.social avatar

Pet you? or your beard? Just to clarify.

Unpigged , to asklemmy in Why are many men growing beards again ?

Screw beards, ALL HAIL THOMPSON AND RITCHIE!

sab , to asklemmy in Why are many men growing beards again ?

Full beards are great. I can go a week without any maintenance and still look presentable. Any other style of facial hair is just too much effort.

Coreidan ,

It’s a lot less presentable than you think. Reality is people aren’t going to saying anything because they don’t want to be rude.

Black_Char ,

It's completely presentable and you thinking it's not is your own opinion. Beards will always be a thing. They grow on our faces and we don't have control other than shaving. Idk about you but I am a man. My facial hair is coarse and I have sensitive skin. If I were to shave everyday like society wants me to I'd have razor burn and rashes all over my face. What's more acceptable some facial hair? Or open wounds on my face?

Also beards went away for several reasons, Off the top of my head I can think of 2.

  1. WWII and gas masks. Facial hair was causing gas masks to have gaps and not work properly, which is when the military enacted their facial hair rules.
  2. JFK vs Nixon debates were aired on TV nationally. When this happened people liked the way JFK looked clean shaven because at the time even a 5 o'clock shadow would make you look "dirty". So the ceos and corporations adopted that and made it a work place standard.

Beards are acceptable, beards are natural, and i find it's really only those who are jealous they can't grown one that have issues.

Alk ,

That is the wildest take I’ve ever heard. Full beards can be presentable, professional and clean. A beard goes with a suit like peanut butter goes with jelly.

I get awful razor burn and I hate shaving. Grow beard, trim the mo' every now and then, go see my barber for a tidy up when it starts getting too wild. So much easier

Honytawk , to asklemmy in Why are many men growing beards again ?

There is a time while growing a beard that it looks like shit.

Most of the people shave it off to not go through it.

But the pandemic meant people could go for weeks without seeing an other human. Which is the perfect time to grow a beard and get over the awkward phase without getting laughed at too much.

Can confirm, grew beard during lockdown, never went back!

remotedev ,

Same. Still haven’t learned how to style it but it’s still better than the face I had before

Avg ,

I grew out my hair instead, looked like shit but now I know.

PeePantsMcgee ,

Started growing mine during no-shave November 2019, and then we shut down for COVID. It was perfect timing.

There’s a strong correlation between haircuts and facial hair, and economic uncertainty.

NotSpez ,

I couldnt find a good source for this, can you share it?

SoylentBlake ,

It doesn’t exist. Who’d fund that research? Lolz

CanadaPlus , (edited )

Yeah, I’m interested. It’s not a connection I’d expect.

Edit: Hmm. Not a study, but there’s musings towards the end of this article.

NotSpez ,

Interesting article!

I’m a fucking wizard - the beard is mandatory.

sbv ,

Do the other wizards just give you the staff, or do you have to go on a quest or something?

xmunk ,

Becoming a wizard isn’t so trivial as just being declared one - many wizards apprenticed themselves to gain knowledge and improve their chances but that elevation is a personal journey.

You will know you’re a wizard when you can look at fellows in your skill and know that none of them would challenge your adoption of the title. I wish you the best of luck. It’s a title within reach of everyone in their lifetime.

The staff and robes are optional but who would turn down a badass purple robe.

sbv ,

It’s really the stick I’m interested in. So you can just go get your own staff? Nobody awards you the staff, or stops you from getting a staff?

xmunk ,

Nah, you can just make yourself a staff - there aren’t any restrictions, registries or waiting periods.

Exactly. The moguls try to control how I use it in the organization

CaptPretentious , to asklemmy in Why are many men growing beards again ?

I’m slightly less fugly with it, I hope.

But I grew up admiring beards. So I finally decided to grow one over COVID only to find out I got screwed genetically in that area too.

brygphilomena , to asklemmy in Why are many men growing beards again ?

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.

maynarkh , to asklemmy in Why are many men growing beards again ?

Have you seen how much a razor costs nowadays?

CaptObvious ,

This is the real reason. And I also just prefer to sleep an extra ten minutes every day.

eightpix ,
@eightpix@lemmy.world avatar

This is the reason I stopped shaving. Cost. I have an electric shaver, but I can’t be bothered with a half-ass shave. Also, shaving too often gives me razor bumps.

And, without a beard, I probably look like I should be in high school.

averyminya ,

I use a safety razor (~$25) and a pack of 100 is around $5, definitely much better than the Gillette line, and honestly I like it more than even the cheaper “good” razors like Dollar Shave or Harry’s.

ekky ,

This is the way! The razorblades last for about 4 uses (7 if stretched) so a pack easily lasts a year, and I haven’t cut myself with one yet (in contrast to those pesky plastic razors which can’t keep sharpness throughout a single session).

Never gonna give my safety razor up, one would have to wrestle it out if my cold, dead hands!

averyminya ,

Only 4? Oh… lol

walden ,

Cartridges are expensive. We’ve been trained by Gillette to think cartridges are the only way, but there are much cheaper options.

One of these and a blade sampler pack will get you started (for anyone interested).

VintageTech , to asklemmy in Why are many men growing beards again ?

I prefer to shave so individuals can see that I have a chin / jawline.

intensely_human ,

I prefer not to shave, to make them wonder

Sgt_choke_n_stroke ,

Good for you

Rookeh , to asklemmy in Why are many men growing beards again ?

I grew one during lockdown, decided I liked it and kept it. I suspect I am not an anomaly in this.

walden ,

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

AlligatorBlizzard ,

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.

Daft_ish , to asklemmy in Why are many men growing beards again ?

Because it grew back?
