A bad offender: Alec Baldwin's unshaven neck on the red carpet
- Some men just can't stand the daily grind. A shave a day has become too much to bear.
- Out-of -work men don't need the presentable look and rather sport the "unemployment beard".
- There's poor population growth in the boys' sector, so that means fewer new teens to purchase blades in the future.
- Another demographic factor, the number of baby boomers becoming retirees and now sporting scruffy looks or beards.
- These boomers also need shave less often as a hormonal decrease means less hair.
- Finally, the unkempt look is being sanctioned by Hollywood and other media.
Will the shaven face become the exception? Or is this just a trend that will come and go like many others?
I'm of the opinion that no matter what, a groomed face, whether clean-shaven or bearded will work better for any man who needs to look presentable socially or for work reasons. So proper grooming won't go away just yet as long as we keep being social animals.
