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 ?

    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.

      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.

      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.
