Long time, no rant. Why is facial hair so difficult to control? How do people even grow beards without looking like hobos all the time? Do I have to make some sort of sacrifice to a dark and malevolent entity?

Believe me, it's so much easier to keep on top of shaving body hair than taming face fur. Especially because your facial hair is, you know, on your *face* which means it's very visible. You can't hide it if you mess up. Unless you decide that wearing a balaclava is a good idea when going outside, like when going grocery shopping. Generally that isn't received too well though.

    I messed up my beard and had to cut it all off a few weeks ago. I am bald, so I literally looked like a baby.

    If anyone has some practical tips or even a guide on how to NOT look like a hobo, I'd be thankful.

    @Fell That's exactly what I'm looking for myself. I feel like there's some sort of hidden society protecting the secrets of magnificent beards, hiding them from the rest of the world.

    Facial pubes either make you look like a hobo, a stoner, or a hipster.
    I tend to be too lazy to shave so I end up looking like a wild combo of all 3 ((:

    @Kage What about those natural-laws-defying guys that look like friggin' Thor? It's all black magic, I tell ya.

    Or idk, maybe you classify those as hipsters. :P

    I don't mind looking like a hobo. Usually people try to avoid sitting or standing near me in public transportation and that I call benefit.

    If I want to look like a hipster I have to go to barber and get my beard trimmed, then usual cosmetics work just fine (balm/pomade/oils).

    @Kage I guess we have differing opinions on that subject, then. :P

    grow your beard out a bit, go to a barber, get a haircut and get your beard trimmed there, then ask how you can manage it yourself. ((:

    @Kage That still means a period of hobo face while it's growing though. :P

    Looking like a hobo either tells people that you are so manly that you can dodge bullets away just with your dick, and that you won't tolerate any kind of bullshit.

    Or that you're good with Linux.

    What I do is use a thick comb and an electric razor to trim it down once a week. Then shave the neckline and use scissors to shape the moustache.

    After a few iterations it starts looking well-kept.

    Just channel your inner Bezos and it won’t matter if you look like a baby or not.

    You know what really grind my gears? Keeping your beard after shaving your head.

    There are barber shops for this....

    And if they are good, they will give you a lot of specific tips.

    And don't follow blindly guides, this will end badly in most cases.
