Campaigners say beard trims pose barbers shop safety risk
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that with hairdressers and barbers set to re-open in England from 4th July that beard trimming is likely to pose a safety risk and should be avoided.
The campaigners say that while is understood and accepted that after a lengthy period of closure many want to have their hair cut or styled, beard trimming is a very different matter.
Barbers shops are a confined space that should require a mask to be worn. Trimming the beard cannot however be done while wearing a mask

BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, by all means go the hairdresser or barber in England from 4th July but leave the beard alone. Trimming it is not safe.
