Shaving cream spatter rests in the sink. You drop your weapon, a disposable razor, onto the bathroom floor. You look back in the mirror and scream, "What have I become?" Your dog sprints upstairs. He is worried that his master might be in danger. But he doesn't recognize his master because his master had a luxuriant beard. That was you before you decided to shave your beard.
You could've been sick of leaving salad dressing stains below your bottom lip. You could've been tired of munching on your face every time your head hit the pillow at night. You could've left a spot on your face barren to fill your heart (don't shave for romance). You could've shaved your pride and joy away for employment. Just like a nasty breakup, understanding why you did it doesn't un-shave the past. It's gone.
Of course, you can get rid of the fur on face, but you can't get rid of the fur in your mind. The bushier the beard, the mushier you feel when it's gone. In the wake of a fallen beard, you can lose everything or you can regrow your confidence with swagger.
1. The past is beard-hind you
Looking at beard nostalgia on social media will bring you down. It's over. With the support of loved ones, it critical to expose your bald face to the world. In he worst case scenario, if you can't stop stalking your hairy past, you might need to delete or untag yourself from any photos featuring your beard.
2. Shop around for fuzz
The only thing worse than shaving your beard is going back to the same style only to shave it off again. It's like adopting a bulldog named Oscar in an effort to get over your precious bulldog, Oscar. It's time to get over Oscar. When your beard starts to grow in, trimming it experimentally can soften the blow of losing an old friend once again. Getting a goatee does not count.
3. Live like your beard was just a dream
There's several advantages the non-bearded community has over beardlings: it's easier to eat soup without sponging up your face, your hands are no longer occupied with beard itching, and you no longer need to sleep on your side. It's important to take advantage of every opportunity exclusively rewarded to barren faces. You can snatch candy from parades now.
4. Learn from your mus-takes
Relying on a mustache for the sensation of a beard is a mistake. You cannot 'stache' away your thick memories of a beard with any other type of facial hair.
5. Create a calend-fur
Beards require patience, love, and many napkins. The worst part about making a beard re-debut is experiencing the excruciating wait. Depending on personal chemistry, beautiful, thick beards can grow within weeks or months. In an effort to get to know your beard's flow, it's important to record your progress every day until you are at a comfortable length. Taking time to grow a magnificent beard can mean certain heartbreak in the end. Always remember this: the bearder you are, the harder you fall.
