With many people working from home numbers are growing beards.
The late Cuban leader Fidel Castro, one of the most iconic of modern beard wearers, had political reasons for being hirsute but he was also very clear about the practical benefits of not shaving.
a beard has a practical advantage: You don’t have to shave everyday. If you multiply the 15 minutes you spend shaving every day by the number of days in a year, you’ll see that you devote almost 5,500 minutes to shaving. An eight-hour day of work consists of 480 minutes, so if you don’t shave you gain about 10 days that you can devote to work, to reading, to sport, to whatever you like.”
