Beards, once symbols of rebellion and counterculture, are making a comeback among elites, reflecting shifting cultural norms even as biases persist in professional settings. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/04/07/world/what-beards-say-about-you/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #beards #facialhair #yankees #jdvance #karlmarx #fidelcastro #cheguevara

Where you live, do all the young men have moustaches again? wtf is going on?!!
@davesdogmaggie @Taweret Sam Elliot without the 'tache is like Riker without the beard
I’ve had to shave smooth since March 2020 to wear an eiastoneric/respirator. If you’re struggling with visible facial hair, I can recommend the Wahl Vanish foil shaver. It’s both powerful and in my experience delivers the cleanest shave an electric shaver can offer. There are also replacement blade/foil sets which you can buy separately. Very good battery life & the plug in mode is great for when you’re in a hurry. #FacialHair
Is your beard feeling more untamed jungle than sophisticated shrubbery?

The day closed with two competitions, starting with the Men's Best Beard and Mustache contest. This young man won first place. He was a local who said he played old time fiddle; I think I saw him that the Baltimore Old Time Music Festival a few months back but am not sure. He seems a little embarrassed.

I long to be able to touch my face without feeling dysphoric
It’s been 4.5 years since my last electro session, but I seem to have been abandoned
Every so often I try to find out what’s happening, without success
The whole hair-removal process should have taken about 10 years, but I started 7 years ago and still have 7.5 years or so to go
If my skin’s still smooth by then I’ll be very lucky 
Also, I’m not sure I can bear to go back to having to grow facial hair so it can be removed

I'm always powerless against a hairy #redhead
This guy looks like a total asshole, you know... The kind you just can't wait to suck off at 11pm while his girl and kid are asleep.
