ERA men , who else hates having a beard?

[Baphomet]

I mean I look fine with one but it's a hassle to maintain and food and water gets stuck on it easier and you feel it tickle you when it's too bushy.

 

[Sain]

I despise it. I'm good with 2-3 weeks' worth of growth and then have to shave.

 

[lobdale]

it's definitely a pain in the butt but i think i generally like having one better than not having one????? so

 

[Schwarzbier]

There is a pretty easy solution to this problem.

I don't like beards so I shave very frequently.

 

[KraftyKrankins]

Love it, can last at least a month without trimming and it looks quite nice on me. Sure beats shaving too.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

My facial hair comes in gross and patchy, so I don't force having a beard like a lot of people do.

 

[platypotamus]

When I was a little kid, I used to long for the day when I could grow a beard. I always wanted to have a big dwarf beard. I was right, they are awesome, but a little too much work at that length, so I keep mine relatively short, and do a little trim once or twice a week that takes like 3 minutes, and it's all good.

 

[SirKai]

I've only been completely clean shaven like once or twice in the past 14 or so years. Love my beard, and I keep it groomed/trimmed very regularly.

 

[nsilvias]

i dont like beards but i also dont like baby face.

 

[SwampBastard]

I couldn't grow one until I was 40 and it still isn't great, but my wife prefers it so I keep it around.

 

[Porygon]

I do, that's why I shave

 

[Mandos]

I suck at shaving and growing it out irritates my face. It's suffering

 

[Clefargle]

Hate mine

 

[Manu]

Not me, I love mine.

 

[Viewt]

Once you figure out a good routine and shape, it's pretty easy to maintain. I usually just use an electric razor for casual clean-ups once a week and then break out a real razor for nights out/special occasions. Doesn't take more than 10 minutes, usually.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

Hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it. If I could nair my whole jawline without scorching my skin off, I would do it in a nanosecond.

 

[Deleted member 26039]

Me. It doesn't go with my long hair. I do a manual shave every 3-5 days.

 

[Kazooie]

I hate it because shaving is uncomfortable. Luckily, my wife prefers I only shave rarely (and not "clean"). In the end it is probably preferable over periods though.

 

[Powdered Egg]

I like my beard but it's a pain in the ass to comb through.

 

[Mathieran]

I use an electric clipper to keep mine down to a stubble once or twice a week.

 

[OhSatan]

Me and worst is that only ONE woman ever has said to me: "you look so much better clean shaved..." she saw me at my beardest so she knows.
The rest of them thirst the beard.
;_;

 

[CallMeShaft]

I sleep on my stomach, and when I have more than a few weeks old stubble, it becomes uncomfortable having my facial hair rubbing against the bed sheets all night.

I look good with a beard, but it isn't worth the discomfort.

 

[King Fossil]

I can only go 2-3 days max without shaving, then it's time for the facial hair to go.

 

[GhoulOne]

I can only go 2-3 days max without shaving, then it's time for the facial hair to go.

Click to shrink...

Same. Facial hair makes me itchy. Can't stand it

 

[Freezasaurus]

I shave it all off like, twice a year and let it grow in fresh. Otherwise I just keep it trim.

 

[Socivol]

Yall should be lucky you can join #beardgang not all of us are able. Beards make EVERYONE* look better to me.


*except Ted Cruz who looks a gotdamn mess with or without a beard.

 

[L Thammy]

It's easier to grow one and just buzz to whatever length when it starts to get uncomfortable than to shave constantly.

I'd like to know how to straighten it though. Particularly the soulpatch area. If my hair isn't kept short it curls.

 

[starpower]

First month growing it always sucked for me, just too itchy for the first bit but I have learned to live with one for long periods in between several years comfortably. Brush daily and use beard oil after showers. Does not help with dating I'm afraid 😅

 

[Kurita]

Every now and then I let it grow for like a good month or so before getting bored of it and shaving. The most I've waited was like 4 or 5 months, just for shits and giggles.
I think I look better without it anyway.

 

[PirateHearts]

I've let it grow out for about a month a couple times in the past, but it just never looks or feels good to me.

I enjoy shaving, but not every day. I usually go about three or four days between. That's the sweet spot between irritating my skin from shaving too much and letting it grow to the point that it's looking real scruffy and gross.

 

[Dalek]

I've tried-but I can't stand the way it feels on my skin and have to shave it off.

 

[DrScruffleton]

timely thread as mine is growing in and I cant stand it. Looking forward to shaving tonight

 

[Rob's Zombie]

Love mine but I also haven't had a full shave since 2009.

 

[Waggles]

I like when i drink ice water and my moustache catches it like a sponge and then i get an extra special sip of ice water that just hits a bit different.

 

[AlgusUnderdunk]

My beard's essentially steel wool so I have to shave it constantly or my chin just strips paint and varnish off of any surface I rest my head on.

 

[Xe4]

Having a beard is a lot easier to maintain than not having one. It's the difference between trimming once a week vs. shaving every 2-3 days.

 

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

Hate beards but luckily I'm about as smooth as a dolphin from the eyebrows down.

 

[Hecht]

Can't stand having one. I don't go clean shaven, but i take a trimmer and just run it in the lowest setting on everything

 

[Torpedo Vegas]

I look awful both ways. I let it grow because it's less work.

 

[Dougieflesh]

I love having my beard. Mine is groomed properly and well moisturized. Anybody who says that their beard is itchy needs to invest in some beard shampoo and oil immediately

 

[Quade]

My dad has a glorious beard, my grandad on my mother's side had a glorious beard, my uncles has a glorious beard, my step brother has a glorious beard. Me? I can't grow shit and it fucking sucks.

 

[Nacho]

Opposite. I havent not had some facial hair, aside for a halloween costume or 2, for... a decade? more? During quarantine i made the jump to having a much longer beard, and I love it. Aside from the food issue mentioned. But its easy enough to keep clean.

 

[Funkelpop]

I love my beard. I maintain it so I don't keep an unkempt nasty beard or anything.

 

[Midas]

It's annoying, yes.

 

[Charismagik]

I think they're pretty gross, but to each their own

 

[wenis]

rather be able to have one then not.

 

[Zippedpinhead]

My wife currently has me on the 3mm scruff beard game. Its not bad, doesn't dry out, BUT maintenance is an absolute must.

truth be told though, anything longer than this and I'm out.

 

[Rhomega]

I regularly shave because I don't want one.

 

[TaySan]

I hate shaving so i let mine grow out until i start feeling uncomfortable.

 

[BassForever]

I hate shaving, but I hate the feeling of having facial hair after 3 days. It's a perpetual hell I live in.
