I could. If they'd use a Wahl trimmer on their face a few times a week and be fine with stubble. What's with society's obsession with clean shaven men? Still? In 2015?

People can mutilate their ears with gauges and tattoo their faces and it would now be considered discriminatory to allow that to hamper a man's career goals. But some stubble? Whoah hold up.

It's good for the environment to shave less, right? Isn't that all you have to say to justify something now?




As a man who's balding a bit on the center of my head, I prefer to go all the way. Therefore I need to shave my head at least twice a week (I do have a beard though).

I agree disposable razors seems to be wasteful to the environment. I will look into safety razors in the near future, which might also turn out to be cheaper in the long run.


I use a Wahl also. Haven't shaved clean in 10 years - just don't like the feeling so I avoid it.

I wonder as to the reasons people shave clean?

  - tradition, expectations
  - partner's preference
  - prefer it personally (feel or way it looks)


- it makes you look younger


My biggest reasons for avoiding being clean shaven most of the time.


I like it. It feels nice and the process itself is relaxing. I don't know why you would ask "Still?" as if that would change over time.
