re: beards

i dont have a particularly dense beard, my 5 oclock shadow game is weak. i wish it were more dense cuz i love that look, but after letting it grow youd never know it.

i have the opposite problem with acne. i have extremely sensitive skin so shaving irritates it a LOT and makes me break out. when im clean shaven i break out super easily, i dont know the last time i had a pimple or blackhead since growing the beard out.

when i shave i look much younger than i am, people consistently estimate my age about a decade younger, with the beard i "look my age"

the most difficult part i find is letting the stache grow over your lip, drinking and eating guarantees stuff getting in it, the hairs can get in each others mouths when kissing your SO

you need to take care of it, trim it so its neat, comb that **** and keep it clean and conditioned/oiled. a neat but big full beard is infinitely better than one that makes you look like a homeless animal that lives under a bridge.

/edit: didnt we have a facial hair thread?
