When an entire industry of beard care products that rival the womens hair care aisle was spawned.

And I have a beard, well goatee anyway. Have had a beard of one sort or another for 20+ years.

Around the same time tattoos went from sleazy to hipster.

My friend is a warden and he said the whole “beard” thing started in jail so the inmates could tell who was “available”

It’s the easiest way for an effeminate man to fake masculinity. So when did that start to become necessary? About a decade ago ?

At one time most of the car salesman wore goatee’s and beards. I think they were trying to hide their face.
