“It must be true that beards were more common in the old days because shaving was not as easy at it is now.”
Certainly, though it is said Alexander required his warriors to be clean shaven, around 330 b.c.
“Today a man chooses a beard because he thinks it makes him look better. Nothing wrong with that”
That may be true for some, but let’s not discount a factor that I think a majority of beards are born out of pure laziness. I keep a goatee, my wife likes it, which is great because the only reason I don’t go completely clean shaven is because I save alot of time and work by keeping the goatee.
How many fat lazy slobs do you see with a nasty beard? A ton actually and its not because they think they look good with it.
“A ton actually and its not because they think they look good with it.”
I accept your wisdom regarding bearded people.
I have thought that stubby beards are the result of laziness.
