12 Types of Facial Hair Your Friends Wish You Would Shave Off
In all honesty, there’s only two options when it comes to beards: yes or no. With the possible exception of a mustache, but only if you’re at least 30 years old and it’s not shaped goofy.
The Slackliner
When weed became legal, this beard should have been outlawed.
The Classic Goatee
Growing a beard, but only the parts that get food in it. Saving the rest of our linguine alle vongole for later, are we?
The Not-Quite Iron Man
You don’t look like Tony Stark, no matter what the male fashion subreddit told you.
The Goatboy
Do you bring news from Narnia? Has Aslan fallen?
The Lucifer
Even if it’s a shorter, more muted version of this, c’mon man. You shouldn’t want to look like the decal from a rockabilly’s moped gas tank.
The Dunning-Kruger
Some guys just don’t have it. As a general rule, you don’t want your beard length competing with most of your moles.
The Stencil
You don’t want to look like your grooming routine involves masking tape.
The Mix-n-Match
Are you splitting a beard with your friend? This looks like you ran out of Beard Points in the character creator.
Anything Waxed
Even for a comparatively subtle bit of shaping, just don’t do this. You might as well put a sign on your upper lip that reads, “BEWARE: BAD CONVERSATIONS BELOW.”
The Soul Patch
“Does that guy have a lip piercing? Oh, no, it’s something worse.”
The Chinstrap
You ever get so afraid of being considered boring you shave your upper lip? I don’t know what these guys think they look like, but unless it’s “a child’s drawing of a lion,” they’re wrong.
The Beard with Undercut
We’ve got enough of these guys for the next century, at least.
