Seriously? His job is to be on camera and cast, not shaving is socially unprofessional and its not incredibly hard, its part of his job. I feel like most of the people who want him to keep it posting have never held a professional job or aren't even old enough to shave. Have you ever seen a football/soccer or baseball or any other sports caster with an unshaven face? What about a Korean caster? TLO can go unshaven because he is a player. Not a caster.
He's just not the fastest zergling in the control group. -DayJ

What is unprofessional is being unkempt, in all aspects.

But the suggestion (for Wolf anyway, I'm sure others have gotten off topic) is that he not shave at all. No grooming of the facial hair at all. Completely natural. I think that falls under unkempt! At least, that's how I understand it. Or I don't understand how maintaining nice facial hair would be that much easier than doing a basic shave once a day. Or perhaps Wolf ironically grows a tame beard.

I actually find it much easier to shave just my cheeks and neck than to shave entirely. If you want to shave entirely you either need to use an electric shaver which often leaves annoying stubbles, or you'll have to use shaving foam not to cut yourself - but if you just want to get rid of the hairs on your neck and cheek, leaving your chin, a mustache and optionally a line drawing from your ears down to your chin, you can just spend a minute or two with a simple razor and some hot water and you're done. For some reason you don't really need shaving foam for those areas - I guess it's the parts of the face that curve around your jawbone that complicates things? An electric trimmer will let you keep the beard at a proper length, which is also very easy.

Point being, if Wolf wants to maintain a beard, it's easier than having to shave entirely. (Unless his facial hair is in some way different to mine, I suppose)

Someone make "GomTV should be forced to change the standards for its casters because of a random kid's thread in TL" thread.

... and while at it, a "Let's rebel against the corrupt and oppressive 'system' and show that our teenager selves are not to be trifled with" thread.

That's irrelevant. If you don't have anybody to answer to noooooo problem! Do whatever the fuck you want. Not in this case bucko.

Maybe your workplace has casual friday. Great! One thing about that though, you probably aren't on cam.

As someone with a beard, it's WAY easier to trim it a couple of times a week and touch up a few spots here and there than it is to do a full-on shave every morning. We're talking a difference of 5 min once or twice a week vs. 3-4 minutes every day!

Yes... Like, all the time. Dierdorf has had facial hair for ages while doing his broadcasts. Dennis Miller had a full beard when he did MNF. James Brown has a mustache. Charlie Steiner had MAN BEARD when he did Sports Center back in the day....

It may not be the norm, but it's certainly not unheardof, and if you think you can't look professional with a beard, you're fooling yourself.

There seems to be a cultural thing going on with Americans saying beard=unprofessional, while Europeans seem more relaxed. There's a difference between being unshaven and sporting a well-kept beard. To be considered "professional" in America, can't you have any facial hair at all? Just not a full beard or no other beard styles either? How about in Korea? Was Jinro's look frowned upon?

Not that it matters because Wolf doesn't want to grow a beard anyway.

if you think beard = unprofessional, its because every time you went to a job interview your smelly neckbeard turned them off. beards are not unprofessional people are.
Someone needs to tell the truth, but it shouldn't be my job.

Harder to maintain a well groomed beard than it is to shave it off.

This is so silly, this is like saying long hair is unprofessional. No, your level of hygiene and grooming is what determines whether or not it is professional. Furthermore, if Wolf declared a religious right to grow a beard, No one could say shit.

Casters just try to come up with stuff to talk about when they need fillers. I'm sure it's not a big issue for him
