If an older man grows facial hair, does it make him look younger or older?
I ask this as i would think that it hides the wrinkles.

A proper beard puts 10 years on most men.

And it certainly doesn't hide the wrinkles around the eyes. Unless he's a chimp. He'll then probably not be vain enough to care how old he looks, just where his next banana is coming from.

Haven't had a clean shave since my wedding day 4 years ago, as I have a shaved head a stubbly chin suites me.
Being clean shaven makes me look about 16.
No1 clippers ftw

I usually shave my head and face totally (bar eyebrows) as I'm 25 and have been receeding since 19. If I don't do this, I would set the clippers to "0" and do the same.

But I haven't bothered shaving or trimming for 5 weeks and love my bushy beard. The Mrs says I look sexy, we're buying her a new stripey stick tomorrow.

i wet shave on a Monday then using my Braun electric shaver to top up throughout the week. I have pretty ****ty skin, so wet shaving everyday would be a pain in the ****.

I just got married and kept my stubble. Don't see why you need to have a smooth face to get married. I look like a *** with a smooth face. The stubble suits me better. Can't remember the last time I had a wet shave. Trimmers for me.

Being blonde my facial hair grows slowly, when I was sporting facial hair I looked odd, a bit like Santa with a number2.



This is proper facial hair, Richard Keys with 2 days growth...

shaving every day - you must be joking

I shave 1.5-2 times a week, whenever I have enough time in the mornings to do it... I used to shave every second day, but my skin went really bad from it... Now that I do it less frequently, it is much better.

Me shaving every day = abatoir bathroom.

I shave once to twice a week. Now I'm getting on in age I can grow a reasonable beard. For those who suffer from shaving rash, always shave in the direction of hair growth. For me that is about several different directions on my kneck,cheeks.and chin
