Best Kotaku article I’ve ever read, along with a valuable life lesson.

Man, what kinda gross dudes do you hang out with? I’m not a fan of the aesthetics of beards on most men myself, but the men I know who have them keep them very clean, as clean as any other hair on their head.

Well beards are not for everyone.

I shampoo mine every time I take a shower, thank you very much.
