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 ?

    The question is: why are you shaving? Why are you so afraid of looking like yourself?

    When you have a beard, people respect you. They listen when you talk and hold doors open for you. I have a hard time trusting a man with a clean shaved face, because our interaction is starting off with a lie. I feel the same way about makeup and fake eyebrows and plastic surgery.

      How far does this go? Are haircuts lies? What about clothing?

      I’m a big believer that we should embrace our natural features, but nobody is trying to mislead you into believing they don’t grow facial hair.

      As a clean shaved man who doesn’t shave because he can’t grow any sort of facial hair I feel personally attacked.

        I actually dig the Native American, Mongolian, Japanese style. Like a few dark hairs, but mostly smooth. Sometimes it’s just like the mustache tips that get dark. Let it grow.
