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 ?

Pili multigemini...
I might have fucked up the order, but it means "multiple twin hairs". Like, where just one hair should grow out of your skin, you have multiples.
If you let it just grow, you're fine. But if you shave it's very easy for it to be ingrown because the "hole" the hairs come thru was only meant for one hair.
When I was in the military and had to shave every day it was horrible. I don't know if shaving makes more grow, but I'd have stubble thicker than mechanical pencil lead, and when I'd pluck it I'd find out it was 3-5 hairs attached to the same "root". One of those becoming ingrown is a huge hassle.
With a beard, it'll just shed normally or come out when I comb it. The problem is when you shave and the hair bunch has to keep pushing thru the skin over and over.
