Yesterday I passed a barbershop and saw ads on their wall outside of men with beards and short hair. It is a revival or saving electricity ?

        IIRC, it’s the same testosterone-y hormone that determines how good you are at growing a beard that also determines how aggressively you go bald. So there’s lots of folks in this boat with us

          It’s more so how sensitive your cells/receptors are to these hormones (testosterone/DHT), assuming you have healthy levels. There’s people on anabolic steroids that still can’t grow a dense beard. It’s just genetics.

      Alas, I have just enough native blood to not be able to grow a beard, and not enough to not go bald. Worst of both worlds haha
