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’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

None of /dev will want your interface.
/dev/zero will always be accepting.
I hate it when when my local /dev/shm gets smelly.
Samson was actually a sys admin whose servers had incredible uptime until his beard was shaved.
So says the unix bible
It’s been foretold that after a year without touching grass you can harness one-handed vim
He can’t take that risk! Don’t you know what you’re asking?
GROSS! And can you fix my nvidia drivers???
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.
Why do people on the internet think you don’t have to shave if you have a beard? You’re just shaving less area.
Exactly. When I was clean shaven, it was easy, I could just hold the shaver against the contours of my face.
Now, with a large beard, I only need to shave every one or two weeks, but it takes much longer to do so and is much trickier. I’ve got to sculpt and shape a mound of hair manually. And every day I still brush and oil it.
Clean or short shaven was actually less effort.
Ha, NSFW example but my God when people call the tight trimmed triangle a “natural bush” on women I laugh. It’s more work to maintain than just about any other alternative.
I don’t shave and I have a beard - once in a blue moon for a special occasion, I might trim it.
Exactly, it’s actually MORE work to shave with a beard because instead of just completely removing all of the hair and you have to shape it and make sure it’s symmetrical.

Some people think beards are stylish.

A short trimmed beard you have to do the neck and maybe cheekbones, it’s a lot of upkeep.
I think lots of guys had that type of beard pre-covid, then let it grow out. Once it’s long enough you don’t have to do the neck because it’s hidden by the rest of your beard.
And some guys never have to do cheeks because it grows in good.
Like how 20 years ago it was cool for teenagers and 20 somethings to have goatees. It took me a while to realize most were doing it because they couldn’t grow a full beard.
There’s a lot of variation in facial hair, including where it grows and how thick.
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.
I haven’t shaved since 2014.
