Why don’t men shave any more?

I have only had designer stubble once, playing a killer in Harold Pinter's The Dumb Waiter back in the Sixties. Full beard ever since, but not too long - no accommodation for the birds in Edward Lear's limerick.

They're either kidding themselves that they can pass for a George Michael look-a-like but they don't, or they're lazy - which they are.

My brother has a white, full beard and moustache. It rather suits him.
He looks like Father Christmas.tchgrin

What I really don’t care for is those (often scruffy looking) little ‘hipster’ beards.

Maybe their womenfolk have commandeered their shaving equipment 🥸………..I’ll get my coat

I am rather partial to designer stubble 👍

Me too - depending on who it is though as it doesn't suit everyone.

I love hairy men.
Even hairy backs.
Just nothing sprouting from nostrils or ears.

Yes, I like a hairy man .( but not on his back) DH has had a beard for years.

I have just looked at a video on You Tube, and all of the men ( all over 50) have what I believe is called ‘designer stubble’. Does anyone find this look attractive?
Even Paul McCartney, whom I have loved since I was 11, is sporting an unshaven chin.
Do they really believe it looks good?
