No Shave November is unfortunately coming to a close, which means that many of the newly bearded will pull out the razors and resort back to their clean shaven look. Alas, never fear my facial hair fetishizers, there are still men out their who boldly beard year round. A lot can be said about a guy with a beard and you can even make the case of guys with facial hair being better boyfriends. Just think about it, it takes a lot of time and patience to grow a full beard. Nobody came out of the womb with a full beard and even Haggrid probably went through an awkward patchy phase. And if a guy has enough patience to grow a beard, he most likely has the patience to listen to how your roommate wakes up at an ungodly hour or how amazing Jane the Virgin is this season. Let’s not forget that winter has just barely begun and it’s going to be getting pretty chilly in our dorm rooms, so a little facial fur will be pretty ideal for marathon Netflix cuddle sessions. Luckily, we at Hofstra University don’t have to look far for a bearded beauty to keep us company through cuffing season as their a quite a few lads that have believe bearded is better. In fact, why not hear what engineering major, Samuel Paciencia of Brazil, has to say about his own beard journey.
