It's well known that, after a certain age, shaving off your beard makes you look substantially younger. Before a certain age, though, it's growing a beard that makes you look younger and shaving it off returns you to your regular age. Armsmasher is clearly in the latter category. The question is, where is the dividing line.
The stage at which growing, and shaving, a beard is a noop?
Obviously not a nop, because it covers part of your face with hair. But yes, the stage where facial hair is neutral with respect to the age you look.
Obviously I meant a noöp with respect to how old you look, silly man. A noöp is always already a noöp in some respect, after all.
Even for a specific person, it depends on what kind of facial hair.
For Father Daniel Corogeanu, the beard probably made him look older at first, when it was only a couple inches long. But now, in combination with his unlined face and ample red hair, it produces a youthful effect again.
For him, it's wearing a hat that makes him look a lot older.
is that the question: where the beard/non-beard aging line is? I'm relieved, because I thought it was whether white people suck or not. I say: 28. or wait, how old is 'smasher?
Due to the shirtlessness, I assume "however briefly" means in this case "long enough to snap a picture and back to the shaving." That was as long as I was able to tolerate having a beard and no mustache.
No, white people, I got dressed again. However over much protest and owing to professional obligations, I shaved.
