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 ?

    What do you mean men are growing beards “again”? I haven’t noticed any trend between clean shaven / bearded. Some do, some don’t.

      Yeah, beards have been common since at least the ‘hipster/lumbersexual’ memes which were about 2008 or so. There’s not been any particular drop off since then. It’s just accepted that some people prefer or look better with a beard.

        Yeah, I haven’t been clean shaven since I could first pull off a beard. Last time I saw my naked face was 15 years ago.

        That said, I have started to put more effort into my beard to try to keep up with trends. Growing it out, oiling it, shaping the edges. It’s fun, but I still find myself trimming it down after too long just to make it easier to manage.

          What oil are you using? Hands down the best stuff I have ever tried is from a small New Zealand brand called Lambert’s Luscious Beard Oils. I started getting compliments at work after switching to that stuff.
