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 ?
It's been trending since COVID

At least maybe even before that
I grew a beard after I got food poisoning and the flu back-to-back. I couldn't be arsed to shave.
I did try shaving years later but I hated nicking my chin with a razor and doing it every day was a pain.
The mid 2010s trend plus COVID putting everyone into goblin mode.
I've had facial hair in one form or another since I was 13, now 45 and have a shorter ZZ-Top kind of beard. Wife refuses to let me shave it off.
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.
It tickles.
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.
