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 ?

A short trimmed beard you have to do the neck and maybe cheekbones, it's a lot of upkeep.

I think lots of guys had that type of beard pre-covid, then let it grow out. Once it's long enough you don't have to do the neck because it's hidden by the rest of your beard.

And some guys never have to do cheeks because it grows in good.

Like how 20 years ago it was cool for teenagers and 20 somethings to have goatees. It took me a while to realize most were doing it because they couldn't grow a full beard.

There's a lot of variation in facial hair, including where it grows and how thick.
