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 ?

First there was WWII, when all men had to be skinheads. Those men continued shaving, and this became a culture handed down to their boys. Now, we’re rebelling against the elders who fucked up everything, so we grow beards to show that we’re different to them.

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.

The question is: why are you shaving? Why are you so afraid of looking like yourself?

When you have a beard, people respect you. They listen when you talk and hold doors open for you. I have a hard time trusting a man with a clean shaved face, because our interaction is starting off with a lie. I feel the same way about makeup and fake eyebrows and plastic surgery.

An OC Rant with some light trolling in the form of toxic masculinity. Sarcastic but with elements of truth.

A fine cuisine. Pairs well with a nice Riesling.

Beards are great. Shaving was the greatest crime of Romans.

Right up there with Carthage

??? Carthaginian men did not had that custom, most wore beards.

I think they mean the destruction of Carthage πŸ˜‰

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml -1 points 5 months ago

Yeah that too, if the Carthage was not destroyed it would serve as counterbalance to Romans at least for a time, and the vile shaving custom would not spread as much.

I think they meant the destruction of Carthage something I am still sore about
