Ill never understand this concept of men shaving. I currently have to for work (not for long) and never understood people who purposely do this for their own appearance. I think it's stupid to make a man look more feminine. Why wasn't this viewed as some sort of cross dressing 200 years ago and shunned?i might as well wear a shirt and paint my toes. |

|  | Registered User | | | | | Without looking up the history of shaving....
Shaving would be considered something done by the elite or wealthy as a way of removing the "wild" look of facial hair. You should also consider the personal hygene aspects of shaving over having a beard (not necessarly in modern days). I would also think that shaving was a way of distingishing one self from any connection with specific religious affiliation (ie. muslim or jewish).
that's all I can suggest without going to google...

|  | Gettin' medieval on yo' bass... | | Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Like old Hampshire, but New | | | Au contraire, men have shaved ever since they figured out how to chip a sharp bit of flint off a block. There has ALWAYS been a swinging pendulum of fashion about whether it's more masculine to go hairy or clean. In the Middle Ages, for instance, men shaved around the year 1000, then around 1150-1250 it became fashionable to grow a beard (and long hair), and by 1400 they had gone back to being clean-shaven again.
Looking like a caveman is not the same thing as looking masculine. Do you want women to look more like "real" women and not shave their pits and legs?

I eat several times a day, but only need to shave a couple times a week. That's the beginning and end of it for me. |

It takes me two weeks to grow anything remotely beardy, and still then it is full of holes and hairless patches and i look like a dirty hobo!
Shaving it is, every two to three days.
Also, i wet shave and really enjoy doing it! |

I had a job for a few years where shaving was mandatory. Huge safety issue, dealing with deadly gases and such. Shaving every day destroyed my skin, didn't matter how I did it, just bad.
New job, no safety concerns, no shaving, great skin. Some of us are just built to have the scruff, some not so much. |
