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 ?

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

      It's also easier area. Cheeks and neck are way flatter than chin.

      Very variable, depending on style and your personal growth pattern. I have a small patch on each cheek that has to be cleaned off, but otherwise it doesn't require shaving. With a big beard you have to care for it like normal hair, though, with haircuts and products.

      Buuut I do have the shave my whole head. Oh well.

      its the other way around for those people: they have a beard because they stopped shaving, not because they wanted a nice looking beard.

      tbh there is a part of me that resents this "ew you grow facial hair and don't shave around the edges to create sharp lines" view though. Its like women feeling they have to shave their legs or pits, it's BS and people shouldn't be judged for literally just how their body naturally is. Its not like there's a legitimate sanitary reason for shaving legs or necks.
