I presently have facial hair. Like kind of a gay looking thing like this:

I basically hate it, and want to shave it off 24/5 (weekends are no shave days). What is GBS opinion on face hair and how does it affect your life?

Let it grow as long as it takes for you to look slightly grizzled, then shave. 3 days is the sweet spot for me. Any longer than that I look like that dude with the thick but patchy af beard @ 15 years old

I clean shave against the grain at least once every two or three days but am still permanently coated with thick razor sharp stubble. I produce so much coarse stubble that I have taken to mixing my razor residue with a cleanser and selling it as a luxury branded exfoliant.

If I don't have the "dirty stubble" I either resemble a cop or a dirty loving hippy.

Have to be clean shaven because stubble will prevent the scba mask from sealing. Hydrogen Sulphide can suck a dick.

Facial hair is for lumber jacks, bikers, and losers who aren't as cool as the first two groups but think if they mimic them they will be (they won't)

I have had some form of facial hair since 2004, either a beard or a goatee. I shaved it once, briefly, in 2008. I was promptly told by every single person I know "please grow it back."

Perhaps I have a weak chin.

A beard is inherently deceptive. That's why orthodox Jews always look so shifty. It's not their fault, it's just the beards.

The lumberjack beards need to go unless they are being worn on someone who is built like the Greek statues.

Choose the middle path between :effort:

full face shaving and looking like a bum, I do.Pro tip: No neckbeard thicker than light stubble unless you want to have to beg on the street for a "career" and never have sex again except with another neckbeard.

Beards are becoming more and more fashionable because that's what happens sometimes, people who hate it just grow terrible beards and are jealous.

As someone who has spent years shaving and keeping a short beard, I can tell you maintaining a beard is so much less hassle than shaving.

When I shaved, I had to do it once a day. Had to buy blades and shaving cream often.

With a short beard, I bought one beard trimmer ten years ago for $15, and have to give it a quick three minute trim and touch up one a week or so.
