Difficult to unpack and probably not worth it: A “small but growing number of men” (read: three people the writer knows) who enjoy the look of three-day stubble but who hate scraggly neck hair and are unwilling or unable to sculpt three-day stubble are opting for “laser beard sculpturing”<\/a>. I swear to fucking god I’m not making this up:<\/p>\n

The two-day beard is a modern classic. Both virile and casual, it bespeaks a man who needn’t bother to shave every day.<\/p>\n

And it’s also a lot of work.<\/p>\n

The truth is, most men who sport sexy, two-day growths end up spending more, not less, time in front of the mirror. That’s because facial hair has a way of meandering in unruly patches down the neck or up too high on the cheeks. If the look you’re aiming for is George Clooney relaxing at his Italian villa – rather than, say, Jack Nicholson on a murderous rampage in “The Shining” – you end up needing to trim around the edges. And that means wielding a razor very, very carefully.<\/p>\n

“I love the look of going a few days without shaving,” said Charles Christian, 26, a part-time hair stylist and fashion designer who is a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. “But my beard hair was growing into my chest hair, and I’m really not into that.”<\/p>\n

Kevin Hillaire, 29, a case manager for the New York City Department of Correction, likes the stubbly look, too. But the scraggly patches on his neck, dotted with ingrown hairs, ruined the picture.<\/p>\n

No longer. Mr. Christian, Mr. Hillaire and a small but growing rank of other men are sporting neatly trimmed two- and three-day growth without extra grooming. A technique called laser beard sculpturing has helped them do away with unwanted areas of facial hair for good.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
