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 growing it to see how long it gets until it gets too annoying. Every day I want to shave it off or at least cut it fairly short.
I mean, beards are in fashion for several years now, aren't they?
I personally started growing a beard, because my skin is easily irritated and I don't like walking arround looking like a pizza. Luckily I also think I look better with a short, well kept full beard. Beards either take time or look like shit though in my experience.
It tickles.
When I was still in the closet, I grew and maintained a big beard as part of my attempts at performative masculinity.
Not saying that this is what's happening with most men who're growing 'em out, but sometimes I see a bloke with a well maintained set of facial hair looking absolutely miserable and my egg radar starts shrieking.
oh hey its me
Though over the winter it was decidedly not well maintained, longest its ever been, etc. I kind of get weirdly less dysphoric about just letting things go vs. actively cultivating something I don't necessarily want or like.
Actually it is now moustaches that are back. And sometimes mullets.
Iโd love to have enough hair to grow a mullet. Not that I want one, I just want that much hair.
