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 ?

Granted. I have both a safety razor and a mug & brush. It just doesn't shave close enough. And I still just prefer a beard.

That's fair. You can get a closer shave with more passes, but that's hard on your skin as well. I can't stand having too much stubble. It gets to a point where it itches like crazy. I pushed through the itchy phase once, and having a beard was alright, but I got some pretty crazy acne underneath it.

I feel you. I’m extremely lucky to never have an itchy phase while it’s growing and rarely have acne. Chalk it up to Neanderthal genetics, I guess. :)
