What kind of job still requires shaving in 2019?



A lot of jobs in certain industries still frown on them. My buddy is pretty high up in a bank, and had to shave his beard off before he could move up. It wasn't mandated, but one of those understood rules.

I interviewed at a small, family owned business for a controller position, and they flat out asked me in the interview if I'd be willing to shave my beard. I told them not as a consideration of employment, but I would consider it upon accepting the position. They never offered it to me.

One of my friends is a jail warden and he said that the whole “beard” thing started in jail

Guys started growing beards to let others know they were “down” if you catch my drift

Meet me at a bar and I'll give you the last special tickle before I shave it off.

Wait, I forgot... you don't go to bars without your husband. No problem. He can come too.

I've been salt and pepper since age 17, have two racing stripes on my temples now.

Honestly, I like it.

I can use the phrase "young man" when talking to cops

This is surprising to hear since, anecdotally-speaking, i kind of feel like *not* having a beard is more of an outlier these days- since almost everyone seems to have one.. again, just anecdotally-speaking, and maybe it’s because i’ve lived & worked mostly in big cities over the last several years, maybe things are different if you’re talking about a small town or something.

Apply beard oil regularly, and wash with beard shampoo. Maestro is my favorite brand.

I don't have much of a beard despite not shaving. I trim it with clippers about once or twice per week with a #2 guard. I do my neck with no guard.

All of my facial hair is salt and pepper grey now. It would probably be a pretty wicked looking beard if I grew it out
I trim with a three once a month and shave my neck with a razor as needed. The salt and pepper is starting to look pretty cool so I might start letting it grow a little longer.

Need to get you a ring dinger. Chiros can fix anything. They’re like doctors, but not doctors.

Mine started going grey around 35-38. The grey definitely has overtaken the brown on the face for sure.

It's definitely more acceptable now than it was 10-20 years ago. My buddy I mentioned has been at the same bank for 20 years, and had a beard for a lot of that time. But it was understood when he got to a certain level, it had to go.

As others have said.....you’ll get past the itchy phase and you won’t even know it’s there until you look in the mirror. My beard is large and in charge. My wife hates it, but IDGAF.

You’re in the worst part. Put some oil on and grow some balls.

I’ve used many, but I found Honest Amish beard oil on Amazon and it works better than most

Edit: I’m going on 7 years with a full time beard.

I have shaved completely once in ten years and I couldn't stand it. I itched continuously until 3-4 days passed and the stubble took back over. So I am the exact opposite of the OP.
