Clean shaves in the spring/summer months. Beard in the fall/winter months.
I know a guy like you. He's 24-25 years old and I don't think he needs to shave more than four times a year. I asked him about what he did to deal with razor bumps because his skin was always so smooth. He asked me what razor bumps were.Couldn't grow a beard to save my life. Clean shaven for me.
The ones I hang out with prefer a cleanly shaven face. That said, I have a goatee with moustache... It helped me get rid of my babyface, but I don't think my babyface will come back if I ever decide to part with my furry friend.
For the record, I'm 25 and my goatee has been my pet for the last year.
And I am starting to get bald.
Clean shaven.
I have several episodes with a beard over that past few decades, but eventually I get tired of it and shave it off. Last time was about 15 years ago.
My wife asks if I will ever grow one back, but I doubt it. Right now, my beard is heavily gray and my hair is still mostly brown. I hate the two tone look.
The different color hair always looked weird to me. I've always wondered why that happens.
I sport big, thick, mutton chops. I shave one razor-width on either side of my mouth, my upper lip, my chin, and everything below my jaw line, and that's all.
