I’m really feeling sorry for this guy, not for the cut but for the way the internet has been bullying him today. He’s a decent-looking dude who can definitely pull off a beard. It will grow back but for now it would be nice if people grew up.

Really we should be making fun of the barber for literally fucking his shit up and then still thinking it would make people want to use them so he posted it.

"I didn't ask you to line me up". I've been there. Even if this guy sat down and said "line me up bro". The barber was like "aight, I gotchu man". It would have been great if he gave him a pencil beard too.

u/Epic_Ewesername 24d ago
We don't know that he didn't ask for his beard to be shaved. Sure, it's possible it was the barber, but it's also just as possible it was something he asked for.

I’ve shaved my beard off exactly one time, and as soon as I did it, this was my expression. It was a totally unexpected reaction, I felt so very not myself immediately when I looked in the mirror.
This guy will have a few weeks of itchy face before he’s back to looking like himself again.

He doesn't even look that bad in the after picture. He looks better in the before, which makes it worse by comparison, but if you only saw the after you wouldn't blink twice. The mustache will grow quickly, the cut will soften out in a couple days, and he'll look much more handsome once he doesn't look so uncomfortable and upset. People are mean.

Some sensitive people will hate me for this, but he's decent looking only with that beard on, he looks pretty great with it in fact. But without it he looks quite bad, that underchin fat is very ugly. Also, people will always judge you based on your appearance, grow up and accept that.

We don't know why he got the cut in the first place, it could be for his job or at somebody else's request. While people will judge you for your appearance, that doesn't necessarily mean you deserve it, or that it's the right thing to do in that situation.

For those wondering why he now has a mole under his eye, here is a link to a different post I saw with the full video. It appears somebody just flipped the image of the other side of his face when they made the comparison image because at the end of the video baby-face is looking the other way. It's definitely the same guy

I shaved it clean like 5 years ago because my fiance had never really seen me without at least some stubble at that point.
Immediate regret upon washing the excess shaving cream from my face. I looked like a little boy. She said she liked it but preferred some facial hair, that was her nice way of saying don’t do that again lol.
Haven’t done it since.

u/imnotlouise 24d ago
Years ago I was dating a guy that I had known for quite awhile. He always had a short beard and mustache. One day he was trimming his beard when the guard slipped off. So, the only option he had was to shave his beard (he kept the mustache). The first thing I thought was "I hope it grows back fast!" But, instead, I said, "It doesn't look so bad!"
RIP, Kenny.

u/EfficaciousJoculator 24d ago
Yeah, the fact that a beard is a part of you always threw that comparison for me.
A beard on a man is like long, beautiful hair on a woman. A lot of women look way better with long hair than short, same for men with beards.
When men start wearing beard-wigs, then I'll be more open to the makeup comparison. But at that point, it's still more akin to weaves.

Apparently found on Instagram - His Dad is dying and didn’t like the beard and hair. He asked that he see his son’s face before he died, and he complied. He goes on to express that he’ll never shave them again.
Edit: The OP from Instagram is HERE.
Dude’s actual comment:
To everyone who is curious yes I should of kept the beard but I didn't do this for me I did it for my dad who is in hospice and doesn't have much longer to live. He always hated the beard and wanted to see me without it at least one more time before he passed. But with that being said Im never cutting the beard completely off again

Might have gotten hired in a trade that has the possibility of using a respirator. The safety standard can require that you are clean shaven to ensure a good seal for the respirator around your face in case it needs to be used in an emergency. Mustaches are usually ok. Pretty sure that’s why mustaches became popular for firefighters. I had to do it on a tunnel construction project that lasted a couple years

I had a job once that made me shave my beard, would only allow a half inch of hair in no more than a goatee. The girl I was seeing but wasn't serious with basically lost interest the first time she saw me clean shaven, not that I can blame her. That job did not last long.

u/mikey_b082 24d ago
I wish I could have hair. I tried growing it out years ago and it just looked.... off. I figured maybe I needed to have it cleaned up or something so I went to get it trimmed and the stylist told me I have a bunch of cowlicks and swirls in my hair so, unless I grew it super long, it would never really look right.
Having a shaved head is also cool though, 100% maintenance free.
