Lots of beards these days.

I can only hope that top hats, bustles, and powdered wigs come back into vogue.

Where's the "It depends on how long it has been since I remembered to shave" option?

I started growing one earlier this year, for the first time since college.

Not a long beard, a groomed beard.

But no beard cream for this guy, I'm going old school.

I had one going in 2020, but it was too itchy so got rid of it.

I have not had a beard since High School (when I was mostly too lazy to shave), and never plan to go back. I just don't like facial hair. Even a mustache feels too much. Its easier to just shave and not think about it the rest of the day. I'll probably just start shaving my head eventually.

I do not understand why they are getting more popular, my best guess is during COVID people were doing less in-person work and did not feel the need to appear groomed. But, whatever the reason, I am not a fan. People should be clean-shaven.

They've been popular again now for at least half a decade so it's definitely not a covid thing.

I’ve had a beard since 1981, I think. There was a popular singer (drawing a blank right now as to who he was) who had a beard for many years but decided to shave it off. Looking in the mirror, his immediate reaction was, “I remember being cuter than this.” He then started wearing a fake beard until the natural one grew back sufficiently.

It’s happening. People are starting to use “your mustache doesn’t connect with your beard” as an insult now.

This undoubtedly sounds more impressive in french.
May the cards fall in your favor.
