I grow a beard during the colder months and stay shaved during the warmer months. The idea of which style is more low maintenance seems to be debated.
Case for Beard: dont have to shave, can just let it grow mang.
Case against beard: at a certain point you need to wash and groom it a certain way to keep up with potential ingrown hairs, flyaways, and scraggly appearance.
Case for shaving - just have to shave and you are done. Maybe once every day or once every few days depending on how close you want it.
Case against - if you need to be clean shaven you need to constantly go through razors or to the barber if you need a very close shave.
Of course if you dont care about appearance you could easily just grow a beard and not give a shit. But also if you dont care about a very close shave you can use an electric razor/trimmer and trim it enough to pass as shaved without spending money on a barber or sharper razors.
which one do you think is lower maintenance? I feel like the beard is lower maintenance until a certain point, while shaving could be consistently the same amount of maintenance throughout. So i guess it is sort of even.
