Of course, in your case, it can hide a multitude of facial defects.Well, considering that I spent a few seasons at McMurdo Station back in the 80s and the guys were advised by the flight surgeons and the arctic specialists to watch out if they grew a beard down there.
But of course, you know better than them.....![]()
Lol, you hear on authority that a person needed to be careful of getting frostbit if they had a beard, which I am guessing is your intended meaning.
While anyone with any experience going with clean shaven skin exposed to contact with open air knows that it helps the skin stay cooler. A beard can make the skin warmer and at the same exact time make it more difficult to spot frost bite, genius.![]()
'Facial defects' is such a subjective phrase. I do not consider an ample amount of facial hair and a unibrow to be a defect.
