im a hairy boy who’s been able to grow a full beard since I was 15. I got sensitive skin and am prone to getting ingrown hairs that can become infected and become cysts (got some scars to prove it) so I really can NOT be shaving to skin in most cases. i’m a trimmers only kinda guy and otherwise let it do its thing. I stay regular on grooming tho.
had to shave my beard (and shoulders 🫣) for this freddie mercury costume last halloween and I got an infected follicle on my jaw because it was the first time i’d had a smooth face in like 8 years. was worth tho and I ended up keeping the stache-forward style after
