Beard or No Beard: Which Is Better On Men?

About this video

Centeno and Eric from Beardbrand engage in a seven-round debate comparing beards versus clean-shaven faces across practicality, professionalism, attractiveness, maintenance, style icons, historical significance, and personal suitability. They discuss the tradeoffs of each look while acknowledging that individual preference and face type should guide a man’s choice.

Key takeaways

  • Centeno argues that being clean-shaven is more practical for military/emergency scenarios and requires less daily maintenance than beard grooming, while Eric contends that a low-maintenance beard with just beard oil application is quicker than daily shaving
  • Centeno claims HR professionals perceive clean-shaven employees as more professional, while Eric argues this perception is shifting as society becomes more accepting of facial hair and that beards convey leadership and authority
  • Eric recommends that men should embrace their natural beard growth pattern and facial features rather than comparing themselves to others, noting that actors like James Franco and Johnny Depp successfully wear patchy beards by choosing styles suited to their face type
