Post a controversial opinion

My question is: why tf do human beings even shave their hair off in the first place? It's goddamn weird. Stop it.

i like shaving and dislike stubble

I trim

But also i was raised catholic

What's really so hard about a weekly head-to-toe wax, is all I'm asking here.

Dip me in nair

I shave because I have an attractive chin and I want to look less masculine and I’m almost 30 and it’s still pretty much adolescent looking when it grows in

I can't grow a full beard but I've had a goatee since I was 20 or so (and a mustache since I was in my early 30s - for some reason I couldn't grow a mustache before that). Anyway, I have occasionally shaved it all off for a job interview because being bare-faced makes me look significantly younger. But I always grow it back.

Julius Caesar was ridiculed by his opponents as effeminate because he was clean-shaven (via plucking rather than shaving, iirc). When this didn't ploy work out as well as they hoped, they said "fuck it" and killed him.

I have a beard, btw.

aimless is a good poster

Anyone who plucks their fuckin' beard is more manly than I'll ever be.

it does not escape my notice which thread you posted that in

teehee, i am a bounder.

i used to pluck my unibrow when i was a teenager and it never grew back, maybe beard plucking would be the way to go if you really want to not have to bother with facial hair in perpetuity

Laser it off.

i have a beard because shaving is a pain in the ass.

xps re aimless i concur but am also not immune to controps

i grow a beard and then i dont sometimes it looks better sometimes not sometimes it feels better sometimes not

re chins, my brother had elective surgery to break his jaw in two places to take inches off his lantern jaw

i can't imagine what my face would look like after this honestly

Beard threading is a thing.

they must have some pretty wispy beards though, idk, not to beard shame

Laser it off.

When I was younger I idly planned to have electrolysis when I got a better job. I'd vastly underestimated the amount of effort and cost it would take to do that though. I hate having facial hair, but I also hate shaving because I pretty much always get a rash that lasts at least a couple of days, so I tend to just shave every 5 days so despite hating having facial hair I still get stubbly every week.

I've had a beard for twenty-five years and I a) look better with it ii) am allowed to follow the past of least action and 3) last time I shaved it off my wife didn't come near me for three days.

I have no particular opinions about whether beards are good not bad or bad not good.

xpost Lasering is pretty cheapish now (in some places) because groupon and similar devalued those types of services.

I tend to just shave every 5 days so despite hating having facial hair I still get stubbly every week.

I shave every Monday morning, but like I said, I can't really grow a beard other than a goatee so I'm only vaguely stubbly on the sides by Thursday/Friday/the weekend.

Had a couple exes who lasered off their pubes (before they met me)

It still grows back and they recommend going a handful of times so it doesn’t grow back

classic country tune

For lasering you usually have to go back at least 6 times and month and half? spaced out. And then back for touch ups as needed. I highly recommend it.

Aint seen nuttin like it on them youtubes

I feel like I was told by my laser tech that guys usually got their back, butt cheeks and shoulders done. She also said they wouldn't do male buttholes at that specific place because it was generally too disgusting. Ha!

Yerac, if you so desire to share, from your own personal experience, are we talkin bikini line or full blown bald as an eagle

The guys? I think they just wanted their buttholes done. But the polish lady said "they are not clean."

Also, I had 4 body parts done during the whole groupon "oh, this is super cheap" phase. I wasn't exceptionally hairy or anything but I have always been super negligent about shaving and just didn't want to ever think about it again.

2 armpits + 2 legs = no fun

an ex preferred me clean-shaven, so i did that for a while, and it was fine, i don't mind how i like either way -- but for convenience, beard all the way

xpost, I'm not you. I'm not talking about my dong area on a messageboard full of mostly dudes.

I’m fine with beards but Jesus Christ men need to realize that shit needs to be WASHED every day, not just rinsed with water. It smells gross, just like your head hair, if you don’t - except it’s worse than head hair bc it has food in it.

^^^ otm thus my ignored comment about a lot of beards looking like they smell like a dog's frito feet.

I always smells nice but i agree het men aren’t good at keeping up w these things

Dog’s paws smell great ON A DOG.

In the UK, the male depilation triple is known as ‘back, crack and sac’.

i'm too hairy though to both w/ shaving or lasers. we are mammals, embrace body hair imo. or don't, i dont really care either way.

Xp

That is hilarious

Gonna use it

things that need regularly cleaning are definitely buttholes, genitals, and beards. keep em clean even if you dont shower every day.

I knew a few men and women who had 3 minute showers

I was grossed out bu just the thought of that

Controp: ppl shower too much

a three-minute shower is totally legit if you are getting the job done

If you don't have to let conditioner set, 3 minutes is enough time.

i agree. i don't really think soap or shampoo is needed more than once or twice a week. hot water is good at cleaning things.

something that is not good at cleaning things is plain toilet paper. once i had kids and had to wipe shit off of butts all day with baby wipes it occurred to me how useless plain toilet paper is. if plain toilet paper is all one uses to wipe a butt - if one is not using wet wipes or a bidet - then that butt is probably not that clean

sorry i know there is another thread for this, i can take it here instead ask a booty cleaner

we’ve established previously on ilxor dot com that nothing cleans a butt better than the smooth, absorbent feathers of a goose neck

we've finally found out what this thread is good for
