5 reasons to shave.

[Smooth Operator]

And there is one reason to rule them all... "shaving is a pain in the ass".
And the cleaner you want to look the more frequently you got to scrape your face with razors, so once a week or month is just fine with me.

Reasons 1-4 probably could be avoided all together if it's was properly washed/groomed and shit... and I ain't touching Reason 5 because of how subjective it already is...

Other than that, I'm too lazy to shave... or, "better yet", I don't see a good reason to change something I've already grown accustom to in the first place... Is the general "you" trying to change who I am or something?

The difference between shampooing your head and shampooing a beard, is you do not constantly have bacteria from the mouth/ eating coming in contact with the hair. Unless they are washing the beard multiple times a day and using an antibacterial agent, it is going to have bacteria in it regardless of once a day shampooing. Using a napkin alone to wipe a beard after eating is not sufficient to remove the bacteria. 2- 4 hours after eating, a beard that came in contact with food can have the same bacterial growth that occurs when food is left out. In addition, washing a beard will not prevent fungus growth, in fact it is moisture that can cause the beard to be susceptible to fungus growth. Not thoroughly drying the skin beneath the beard is what makes it prone to fungal infection, or the moisture caused by sweat.

IF you are "too lazy" shaving is the easy out, otherwise it is far more work to maintain a good hygiene with a beard than it is to shave.

Question:
If I listed similar reasons and articles, proclaiming women should shave off all of their hair (save for what's on their head), would you be in agreement or would you be offended?

Follow up:
Why did you claim "Beards make you more susceptible to parasites" after linking a CDC article that has absolutely nothing to do with beards?

Why would I be offended? I actually do not grow much hair outside of eyebrows and hair on my head, but that is due to my tribe's genetics not growing much hair. Te men in my tribe also do not have body hair or facial hair as well. I have also shaved everything off below the eyebrows since middle school due to being on the swim team, and it just feels gross to have hair touching my skin. IF when you start dating a girl she shaved her armpits, legs, bikini area, then all of sudden just decided she wasn't going to do so anymore, I do think that would be a game changer, and a guy really shouldn't have to ask her to shave, she should understand that is a part of the deal in the first place. Deciding to grow a beard is like a girl deciding to grow out her armpit hair. YUCK!

The CDC article listed some common parasites found in your hair, including your beard. Having a beard increases the likelihood of contracting these parasites, AND spreading them to others.
For example:

"It is possible to 'catch' pubic lice through close non-sexual physical contact with an affected person - such as kissing someone who has lice in their beard."

If you notice in the CDC article, it mentions beards as well.

I get the OP wasn't a hostile attack on anyone, but the beard has already consumed me.
