Last month, it was all about World Beard Day, packed with fun facts about why your beard is your best buddy. But today? We're turning the tables. It’s No Beard Day, and we’ve got all the reasons why ditching those chin whiskers might be the best move you’ll make.
Fear the beard
You probably remember the moment your first beard hairs started to emerge. A moment of pride for some, perhaps a great shock (or even fear) for others.
Pogonophobia. The fear of beards. There are those who start sweating, get nauseous and even heart palpitations from those few hairs on your face.
So... maybe better to keep that face smooth. Rather be safe than sorry.
The dirty truth
We all know, a beard can give you that beastly (read: badass) look. Literally. Beards are loaded with bacteria. Research shows they can actually carry more bacteria than a dog’s fur. So, who's the real dirtbag now?
Still going for that werewolf vibe? Then use a good face wash. And if things get out of hand, a deep cleansing shampoo might do the trick.
Itchy kissy
There you are, the perfect moment. Your eyes meet, the lights dim, and you know: this is going to be an epic kiss. You lean in, your partner does the same, it's like a movie... And then your beard brushes against their face.
Tickle. Another tickle... followed by an itch.
The romantic gaze slowly turns into a frown, and before you know it, the mood is totally ruined.
So, instead of a passionate moment, you're suddenly a walking cactus. Nice one, beard.
Wannabe(ard)
Many bearded famous men and other iconic figures sport impressive beards. Perfect beard goals that you’ll want to try out someday.
The only downside? People might mistake you for the next Santa Claus. Or you’ll wake up at Hogwarts as Dumbledore’s apprentice.
So, while we’ve had our fun with all the reasons why No Beard Day might be your new favorite holiday, don’t worry—in the end it's up to you. Whether you want to rock a beard or keep it smooth, the choice is yours. Whatever makes you – or your better half – happy and confident, we’ve got your back. As hairy as it is.
And don’t forget to keep an eye out, because we’ve got something exciting coming your way in November!
