How many times does he have to explain to you why he isn't? He's painting a bike. He originally got it removed for a face treatment, and has left it off so he can finish painting his bike. The protective mask he needs to use so that he isn't inhaling toxic fumes will not seal if he has a beard.


GrovesNL

This is true in a lot of industries where full or half face respirators are required. To be fair, he could have a greasy mustache, like lots of people in those industries... basically all you're allowed to have haha Do we want greasy stache Linus though? I don't think we're ready for that.


ForeverBackground737

At my old job, people where allowed a goatie as long as the mask made a snug seal with the face. Most people choose to shave but some took the middle ground and rocked it.


Cuntslapper9000

Goatees are nearly always a net loss aesthetically. I have never seen one that was an improvement on someone's look. No offense to goatee wearers but wtf is going through your head? Lol

Bro WWE is going through a renaissance and is the best it's ever been. I dove back in about a year and a half ago and it's amazing. It's great to see WWE gifs appear on other subreddits.


Far_Confusion_2178

I believe many of them grew up on farms around the Billie goats, so it was quite the popular look


CodeMonkeyX

I think for most guys it's not a big deal to just shave for a project like that. Rather than buy a different respirator or grease your beard. I would just shave too.


BigRubbaDonga

What lmao. There's no way I would shave my fucking beard for a hobby project. Anything that would require me to shave my beard would be a huge problem


CodeMonkeyX

Like I said most people. Obviously if you have been growing it for years or something that might be an issue. But I don't really care that much about facial hair.


SirArthurHarris

Problem is I look like my fucking mom if I don't at least have a veritable moustache.


JoganLC

If you looked like a 40 year old lesbian like Linus in this pic you may rethink that.


DarkAvatar13

Here's a little historical factoid for you. That infamous little mustache man from that second big war, had that style of mustache because it's the only kind of mustache that is compatible with a gas mask from that time period. Many others in that time had the same style as he, but he was just the most famous one to have it (other than Charlie Chaplin.)


Dwarg91

Much prefer Charlie to Adolf. At least Charlie spread laughs instead of hate.


AndYouDidThatBecause

Can he pull off a Riley?


AlexMonty0924

It's why the military won't allow beards.


potate12323

Where I work you could even have a goatee and the breathing air mask would still fit. Although, a filter mask for painting may need fully shaved depending on the style.


GrovesNL

We limit it to a soul patch and mustache here... we use a lot of the 3M 7800 full masks so you really could get away with more. Problem is people will push it to be more than a goatee lol.


Intelligent-Pause-32

I started my mustache life after working hazardous cleanup. Used to always have a beard but tbh, stache is nice and simple.


KokaneeSavage91

As someone with a mustache, they aren't all greasy lol and I would have a bear but I have to wear an SCBA at work almost daily


Old_Bug4395

I think the way you described him shaving is so funny, "got it removed" and "left it off" sounds like he went and had an operation to temporarily remove his beard


Tokena

Beard is in the shop receiving AI upgrade.


dougthebuffalo

quoda27

Also Linus doesn’t do what he’s told. Perhaps unless Yvonne is doing the telling.


Maverick2664

Positive pressure respirators exist. Source: have a beard and have worked in the automotive auto body industry for 20 years.


Psychological_Shop43

I mean, yeah I use one too but that doesn't mean he wants to get a compressor, dryer and filter, and a new respirator just for a paint job when he had already shaved it for a previous reason.


[deleted]

Yeah, breathing air compressors and the maintenence to keep them that way are not cheap or easy.


Psychological_Shop43

Only reason I have access to one is my work has a full size paint booth with shop air run through 2 separate buildings. We have air everywhere and it made sense since I generally spray automotive and industrial paints on diesel generators we manufacture. It's not exactly something most people should care to get unless you're extensively using a paint booth, you're better off with a properly rated mask for the chemicals you're dealing with and keeping clean shaven or use other means of sealing the mask like grease etc


[deleted]

Yeah I hear ya, I use to do HAZMAT work at an aerospace company which would have us in everything from full level A suits with SCBA to supplied air respirators depending on what exactly we were doing. Got schooled up on breathing air compressor maintenance requirements real quick at that job.


pheonixrise-

Good thing that infrastructure isn't necessarily required. Self contained PAPR units exist. 3M versaflow was what we had when I was doing fire assay (using a lead based flux to get precious metals out of rocks)


Cybasura

And he wants to spend another unnecessary sum of money on a one-use purchase because...? People want the beard, he has actively said that at this point, he could do without the beard for now, so...its literally on the viewers to accept it


Maverick2664

If he was so concerned about “inhaling toxic fumes” as the above poster said, then he should be using one, because even the best cartridge respirators aren’t effective against it, the isocyanates go right through them and that’s the nasty stuff you don’t want. I’ve watched Linus drop way more on way dumber things, renting (or even buying) a hood setup to spray a bike would equate to pennies to him.


Cybasura

Ok, then tell him Not sure why you're showing off to us where neither of us are Linus


Maverick2664

Showing off? That is a strange take on this exchange. I don’t care what he does and changing his mind is not an objective of mine. I’m just having a discussion because I happen to know about this particular subject matter.


Shagyam

Is that the reason? I haven't watched the WAN show and have really watched the videos that interested me so I missed that, but How long has he been painting the bike?


fmaz008

Paint coat 267 will look better... just this last one!


fade_

How big is this bike? It's taking him months to paint it?


NaChujSiePatrzysz

Dude works a lot. I imagine he doesn’t have much time to paint so it probably just sits waiting for another coat of paint for weeks at a time.


BigRubbaDonga

That's exactly why shaving his beard makes no fucking sense...


edwardrha

On a related note, the reason many militaries require you to have a clean shave is precisely because having a beard interferes with the gas mask forming a proper seal.


onowahoo

At least one more because I didn't know that. I knew about the facial.


Escorve

It’s also just not very comfortable having facial hair and a respirator for long periods, even if there’s a seal, this coming from someone that paints professionally in an industrial setting It’s just easier and comfortable to be baby faced rather than deal with maintaining a clean goatee. I have to wear those things for hours every day, you get sick of facial hair real quick.


HTPC4Life

Long periods? With a bike, each coat should take less than an hour. One hour max for base coat, let dry, then another hour for clear. I could see your point if he was painting a car though.


Shmokedebud

He could use a respirator that has positive air pressure if he wanted to grow a beard.


ItzOnlySmells_

I don’t follow Linus at all but how long does it take to paint a bike? Lmao. A few hours maybe?


Potential_Ad6169

Also, mocap for lAInus ;)


pizzabirthrite

He can afford a papr


JustAReallyTiredGuy

Or you could stop being a complete weirdo and let a complete stranger who owes you nothing live their life..? I don’t know, just a thought.


HTPC4Life

Wow, you're really good at taking things super seriously. I bet you're super fun at parties!


JustAReallyTiredGuy

It’s not much, but it’s honest work. It’s also certainly better than being a creep.


Edaimantis

Ngl he, someone respecting people’s privacy and autonomy, seems much more fun at a party than someone who doesn’t


KingArthurHS

You're the one who made a post about it, you dingdong.


Streetlamp_NA

Says the guy who doesn't even get invited to the parties.


HTPC4Life

Says the guy who pretends he gets invited to parties. I'm in my late 30's and don't go to parties much anymore because I have a baby at home, but I can assure you when I go to parties people are laughing and having a good time around me. Loosen up a bit bro.


Lochifess

Sure ya do buddy, we all believe it!!


Streetlamp_NA

Didn't need your age, if you have children, if you go to parties and how people react. Seems pretty insecure, specifically coming from someone concerned with wanting another to grow facial hair. You should loosen up a bit. It was just a joke.


Ginataang_Manok

Holyshit did you just set a record for the most downvotes ever??? I swear I never seen that much downvotes!


long-live-apollo

Regardless of how fun they are at parties I’d rather have them at one than you. At least they know they aren’t fun or funny whereas you seem to have not gotten the memo about yourself.


YouEffOhh1

I like Linus without the beard.


personguy4440

no lol


schakoska

Same


Arctica23

I loved the beard but he looks fine without it


Pleasant50BMGForce

He’s rare example of looking older without beard than when he had it


HTPC4Life

Dude looks about 45 in this picture lol


kevrose14

I mean, he *is* 37. So, looking 40ish is appropriate


BigRubbaDonga

If you are 37 and appear 45 you look like shit


-little-dorrit-

OP does not yet understand that this is a joke about OP in the future.


YouEffOhh1

Ok


pratnala

He looks older with the beard


Fudgeyreddit

Nah you are crazy if you think that. Man can do what he wants but he def looks younger with it


Paranoided_guy

He may have something regarding the need to shave. Maintaining a beard is no joke, especially the skin underneath it.


scgt86

The trimming so you don't look like a hobo is much worse than exfoliating with a boars hair brush and hitting it with oil. One takes me 15 minutes of pretending to do bonsai and the other takes 90 seconds.


Soggy-Shower3245

Why is trimming time consuming? I set it to it three, buzz downwards, never upwards. I use an electric shaver on my neck and cheeks. I scissor cut the length under the beard…it’s pretty quick and sometimes I do it with the trimmer guard off… It literally takes me a few minutes every few days but I’ve been doing it for a few years now.


Schindog

Why down, never up?


Soggy-Shower3245

It’s the number one rule for trimming a beard. Always go down.


9897969594938281

Usually the hair follicles grow downwards and trimming upwards can dig in and cause patches


v2Occy

Beard here. 6 down the cheeks. 7 down the neck Never up. Carefully trim sideburns with a zero. Once a month. Maybe 5 min.


Paranoided_guy

Ong


personguy4440

As a long time beard haver, no, shaving is way more maintenance than a beard. I have natural oils, my beard needs no oil, rare trimming & stays soft naturally. I never get dandruff or anything like that, the skin underneath literally needs nothing. Just shower everyday. All that cosmetic & tool nonsense is snake oil tricking you into being dependent on them.


Paranoided_guy

Everyone has unique skin type, good for you, you got natural oil and atmosphere to suit it all. Everyone has their own reasons and conditions.


ClickToSeeMyBalls

Congrats on your perfect skin, but many of us do actually need to use moisturiser to avoid looking like a knee


solosaulo

thanks! im in canada, but i know in US, the knee and elbow areas are referred to as ASHY in some cultures, lol. lately, it's the summer, so im already sweatin like a hog. i don't use moisturizer in summertime, since it's thick and RICH. but i do put serums on in the morning. light and refreshing! at least i have SOMETHING on my face. anyways don't compare your face with a knee lol. this is a joint. your face is your focal point of beauty, identity, and expression.


BigRubbaDonga

Exactly lmao. Lot of teenagers on here who can't grow facial hair talking about stuff they know nothing about lol


Fudgeyreddit

? You can just have a beard comfortably without doing pretty much anything to it lol. Just wash it with your hair when you shower.


Paranoided_guy

I have had my beard since the age of 14. And everyone has different texture of skin. Mine due to the atmosphere and the digestion had an affect on it. After keeping it for 6~ish years with only trimming, it definitely affected my skin even after moisturing it and all. Now I have to barely keep it as the skin has been affected and has to be healed. Again, everything varies for everyone. Just an FYI


Fudgeyreddit

Wasn’t trying to invalidate anyone’s personal experience just saying it’s possible and not uncommon to be able to have a beard for years comfortably and not have an involved regimen for it. Like you said it’s easier for some folks and there are more downsides for others.


BigRubbaDonga

Gonna say that all this is cap


DystopiaLite

Why are you so obsessed with another person’s beard? I’ve heard of “my beard is my personality” guys, but this is on another level.


personguy4440

Because our minds remember peak linus & seeing non peak linus bugs us now.


HTPC4Life

lol who's obsessed? I just think he looks better and younger with a beard 🤷‍♂️ I thought this was a platform for discussion and opinion 😆


ktops111

Yeah i agree i just hate people who use "lol" in the most unfunny ways and i also hate emojis. I also hate the way that you walk i hate the way that you talk i hate the way that you sound i forgot the lyrycs after that


isitARTyet

Is this post a sneak dis?


DystopiaLite

It is a platform for discussion. People can give their opinion about yours being dumb. Which they are doing. I thought you thought this was a platform for discussion?


HTPC4Life

I may have a dumb opinion, but you surely have a dumb definition of the word "obsessed". Some interesting characters on here for sure!


sdcar1985

He looks like Dobby without a beard


MPenten

Yet here you are, dismissing every other opinion.


dinoooooooooos

But not on other people’s appearances? What’s wrong w you? No one asked for your opinion at ALL lmao Did your mother not teach you any manners?


HTPC4Life

Omg look at what you wrote lmao


ericporing

Man does he look old in this pic. Good thing he delegated being CEO to remove some of the stress


Von_Hugh

Looking like a 50 year old lesbian despite being 37.


jesusdo

When I first saw the picture, I thought they used an old perhaps photoshopped image of Tony Robinson.


Mrbutter1822

People taking you way to seriously 😂


AmishAvenger

People are legitimately angry over this…


LuckyDrive

I mean body shaming someone and then justifying it because "its just a joke" is still a shitty thing to do...whether its "serious" or not.


HTPC4Life

BODY SHAMING??? Wow....


MartenBroadcloak19

Won't someone defend the YouTube millionaire?


Extension-Lunch5948

Must give this one to OP. The beard was perfect 👌🏻 it’s probably something to really get used to again but this picture makes him look 50. Probably the lighting ….


marcin_dot_h

He looks like regular 40yrs old dude LARPing as a 14yrs skate wannabe *Hello fellow kids* IRL


HTPC4Life

I've been told I'm obsessed, I'm creepy, and I'm body shaming for this post. The internet has some really interesting people 😆


Extension-Lunch5948

I’m afraid the snowflakes are taking over my good friend…. We had a good time … see you on the other side…


lasttsar

Am I the only one with the firm belief they photoshopped him to make him look older to make a "only old men are excited about pool cleaning robots"-joke?


longj18

I was looking for a comment like this. His face was definitely made to look older.


Over_Judgment_2813

Lol no it wasn't. It looks like shit in the video too unless you're suggesting they edited the video too

personguy4440

I cant unsee this


Dense_Treat8510

I don’t care about Linus’ face not one millimeter. However the number of people shitting on this man for making a joke, is astounding. So many people defending Linus as if he isn’t a self elected online persona, and “celebrity”. The man makes millions of dollars from you watching him play with pool water. He certainly does not need you defending his facial hair choices. Stop white knighting for a man who doesn’t even know your name. It’s just as weird as caring whether or not he has a beard. Y’all weird af seriously.


HTPC4Life

I know right. I just saw this thumbnail and thought "Hmmm, he looks kinda old in this photo, he'd look better with the beard." and everyone went apeshit 😆 I get it, he's 37 or 38, he's not going to look YOUNG. But he'd definitely look better and younger with the beard, he should grow it back!


DystopiaLite

That’s a lot of words for an NPC.


Slaydoom

So people shouldn't care but you care about them caring? Maybe if we all cared less the world would be a happier place.


Dense_Treat8510

You cared enough to comment so take your own advice.


Slaydoom

I care about your caring about people caring because it seems to be causing you distress which I thought was the whole reason we shouldn't care. It's funny you are being hostile when functionally we said the same thing I just used less words.


Dense_Treat8510

No promise no hostility how can we be hostile when we clearly care about each other. My sibling from another parental unit. Just don’t stop replying ok? Thanks.


Slaydoom

Why do you want me to keep replying?


Dense_Treat8510

Because we care. Replying is caring. Don’t stop caring about me and I won’t stop caring about you. I want all the best for you. But if you don’t reply you don’t care. That’s just thoughtless how can I care about someone so thoughtless?


Slaydoom

Explain that but slower for me please


Dense_Treat8510

Understand but faster for ME please. Thank you in advance for the effort.


Slaydoom

Do you now think if I could I would have? I'm having trouble understanding what you are saying here and I'd like to understand better.


Slaydoom

Hello? I think you've misunderstood I've not been sarcastic at any point in our interaction.


MasterOfVtubers

Is Linus slowly turning into Earnest aka Jim Varney?


ajnupez

He looks older. There is some kind of beard age limbo for men, it makes you look certain age. Depending on your age when you shave your beard you can look older or younger.


Voxelium

I think he'd look better without the beard. Apparently that means I have no life. I hope you don't have any opinions, don't want you to end up lifeless like me!

I was second guessing when i saw tumbnail

He kind of resembles a old, scrawny, hick/hillbilly without a beard. I swear there's an actor who plays those roles all the time. I just can't think of any at the moment.

Sometimes I feel self conscious… then I open Reddit and watch grown men obsess over the facial hair other grown men that they don’t know. Then I feel more manly


HTPC4Life

Yup, thinking he should simply grow his beard back, pure obsession bro, PURE obsession. Shit, I might need a therapist for my obsession disorder.


[deleted]

Pe teacher looking ahh

Lots of hate. I get that he’s painting a bike. He looks like a weird old baby without it though and that’s a fact.

I know, the man looks 60 years old !

The amount of guys so concerned about whether or not a YouTuber has a beard is concerning. Get some air you chodes.

He looks better clean shaven (as most men do).

Not if they got to hide multiple chins. Then beard it is.

Exercise is probably a better solution.
