Living on the Razor’s Edge* Is Shaving essential?
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has urged clean shaven men to consider if shaving is essential at this time.
It may be questioned whether razors, shaving foam etc are essential items (any more than beard oils are) and not shaving uses less resources and is environmentally friendly.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, In the present moment, where appropriate, growing a beard is the socially conscious thing to do.
The BLF has issued the following guide to beard growing:
1 Do not shave and recycle all shaving equipment immediately
2 Allow facial hair to develop over a 7-10 day period
3 Wash the facial hair at least twice every day and purge any split ends
4 An organic beard grows naturally so do not trim at this stage
5 After 10 days judicious and occasional trimming may be employed. There is a fine balance between a beard that is stylish and one that is genuinely organic
6 Under trimming is better than over trimming. Over trimming may lead to having needlessly to repeat steps 1-5
