It’s shear madness! Brooklyn’s hipster beard craze has grown so popular that men in New York are rushing to doctors for “facial hair transplants” — surgery that helps make beards look thicker and less patchy, sources said.
Stubble-challenged guys are forking over up to $8,500 for the beard-boosting procedure, which has spiked in popularity in recent months, plastic surgeons told The Post.
“Brooklyn is probably the nucleus of the trend, it’s the hipster ‘look’ guys want. If you have a spotty beard, and you let it grow out, it looks sloppy, ” said Dr. Jeffrey Epstein, a Midtown-based plastic surgeon.

Our blades are freakin great.

Goat f'ers seem to be able to grow huge beards...
I’ve noticed that a lot of young men these days can’t seem to grow much facial hair. Too much soy (female plant estrogen) in all the processed foods?

When I was 16 I grew a good mustache and when I was 19 and in basic training I was made to shave twice a day or else I’d get hassled by the drill instructors by mid afternoon and I didn’t think it was that unusual.
This is the second time in my life I have had a beard. The idea that I may be promoting anything NYC or hipster has me thinking a shave is in order.
Because the are perfect liberals. They let the government take care of the poor so they don’t have to get dirty.
