Why don’t men shave any more?

I'm not keen on beards; they seem unkempt for most who sport them, including my son 35. His is very thick; his wife trained as a hairdresser so will keep him trimmed up, but it seems he is always getting crumbs stuck in it.

I'm not saying they don't look attractive on some, but it's just not my fav look.

It’s just the fashion, it will pass. I hope.
To me stubble looks scruffy and the beards worn by so many men are identical and make them all look alike.
Worst of all are the little moustaches, apparently back after 75 years. Old films were full of them and my father grew one, briefly.

I think men and women, should go for whatever look they feel happiest with. My cousin wanted to grow a beard but his wife didn't like them so he was not allowed to.

Not sure the look suits everyone. Roy Keane for one.

A ggood beard takes quite a bit of maintenance.

I like a beard. It has to be in good order though! Apparently Peter Green (late Fleetwood Mac guitarist and singer) had pieces of cheese in his beard for weeks.

I disagree that not shaving is laziness. Surely looking after a beard, trimming it, grooming it etc., must take far longer than a quick shave?

stubble ok.beards are awful,staches ok

Im with your taste Miss Aventure👍

Maybe because some spend so much time shaving their heads as soon as they start balding? No time for their chins...

My son is 50 next week and he looks great with his ‘designer stubble’ he’s worn it like that for years his partner likes it too.

That's exactly what I was going to say

A very friendly delivery man came to the door last week with his beard plaited in a 6" pigtail. He carried it off well.

Harry the young tree surgeon arrived with shiny dark brown shoulder length hair and a decent beard. It was 90º and I felt for him with his helmet on as he welded his chainsaw. Again he looked the part. Roughty-toughty and rarin' to go!

I think men's hairstyles can be really creative these days. Not like the days of the mullets and perms.

Oh God I hate a beard.
I agree Valdali, it is like a uniform for young men these days.

George Michael was shaven - just not clean-shaven.

I quite like beards but I do think it they tend to make quite different-looking people look similar.

I am rather partial to designer stubble 👍

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

And me- it has to be properly maintained though.

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.

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
