I can't believe the beard thing has lasted this long.
As we know , until the 2000s facial hair was not at all fashionable with Gen Xers.
I've always hated facial hair and never had a beard or moustache apart from a very brief experiment in my early twenties.
I do absolutely hate shaving though, and try to restrict it to every five days or so. If I know I'm going to shave I feel very stressed as I hate how sensitive my skin feels afterwards.
Is the beard thing some kind of masculine stand against gender equality?

Only place that hair grows on my head now, so I thought why not? All the clever comedians (Sayle, Lee, Boyle) seem to be sporting them currently.

I've always been lazy in the shaving department, if I do it too often then I end up with a minor bloodbath. When I had a job I'd do it every other day(ish), now I tend to let it go 5 days or so between shaves and then run the clippers over what's left of my hair at the same time.
Had a brief flirtation with a goatee in the late 90's (..christ, that looks dodgy written down!) and experimented on and off with sideburns/boards but prefer to be either unshaven or clean shaven, rather than styled.
I can't imagine how uncomfortable a massive hipster type beard would be in the summer.

I finally found a decent electric razor that allows you to shave with it every 3 days only without any pain or catching hairs. Been a Godsend.

I'm a shave every day person
Normally do it before going to bed
I dislike the stubbly feeling and also find it's much easier to do it regularly than leave it every few days
Doug, what is your electric razor? Sounds worth investigating
As for Stu's question, why do they currently remain so popular, no idea. But then I'm more into the mod cleaning living aethetic than wanting to look like a hillbilly or whatever. Hard to look smart with stubble or a beard in my opinion but that's just personal preference

Facial hair ( beard, moustache etc ) is a sign of laziness.
It's a bit like wearing elasticated waists, or crocs, or velcro. Unacceptable in public, especially by an adult.

Personally I'd rather spend half of my life with a bit of stubble on my face rather than go out clean shaven but with a healthy dose of bloodied bog paper stuck to my neck.
Hark at us fucking old punk fashionista's giving two fucks about facial hair, is this what we fought in the punk rock wars for?  |

I’ve got a full beard and facial hair yes it is mostly because of ( wardance) laziness, my partner likes it as well but if I looked after myself more I’d just as soon get rid of the whole thing lol |

I do a lot of screen meetings and there can be like 10 blokes on the screen and I am the only clean shaven one, so I am growing a beard in case people think I'm a pervert.
It was the other way round when I was younger

The Word Podcast were suggesting recently that no teenage girl ever screamed at a man in a band with a beard and therefore it's a good way of denoting seriousness in music
