This seems true. I am normally clean shaven but I notice some slightly different looks I get with 2 days of stubble.

Also, while visually appealing to some women, stubble is the scratchiest so they are always whining about it scratching their faces or thighs.

This post makes beards sound even more gross.

Even if a man did have the luxury of showering every day, if he has external parasites in his beard or other body hair the parasites and their eggs won't wash out in the shower because they are attached very tightly to the skin or the hair. They have to be treated with specialized medications or insecticides to kill them and their eggs first, and some kinds of parasites have to be detached and picked out by hand one by one and/or combed out with specially designed tools - like sharp needle tipped tweezers and nit combs just for example.

But you’re the one who pulled the “feminist”card. There’s no WAR on beards, people are just giving their opinions on beards, not about the men that sport them.

Gross, but true. I work in remote villages in the Alaska bush and many of them do not have running water. It's true. In 2020, they have super fast internet but no indoor plumbing

Why would I hide my masculine jawline behind a beard?

I shave every couple days because I hate having facial hair. I think it feels gross and itchy. Thankfully my wife isn't one of those that prefer the caveman look. Different strokes for different folks. Things come and go. Someday this will go as well.

Thought they used gasoline in that case, to clean out the bugs. May be just a rumor, though. Not that I'd like to soak my hair in gasoline, to be clear. I'd be concerned about others smoking nearby, too.

POOF!

Yet another hazard of working remote. Men are adaptable creatures, though.

I had a straight razor shave, late 2018, first time ever. Had to pay extra for that, in an ironic twist, down here in suburbia where the skill is rare and experience everything. It's a real skill. He got it done just fine, I was quite curious about it all. I figure a good soap lather and a little water, potable or not, is sufficient anywhere on Earth for that once in awhile. Strop up that blade, give it a go.
