50 Men Before & After Shaving That You Won’t Believe Are The Same Person
Growing out a beard can dramatically change a man's look, but shaving one off can be even more of a shock, revealing the dreaded post-shave baby face. Some say that the right choice of beard styles make men's faces look stronger and more masculine, while others argue that it all comes down to bone structure. We're definitely not evolutionary scientists here at Bored Panda, but we've compiled some photos of guys before and after grabbing the razor, and we'd like to know which one you'd rather ride off into the sunset with.
Beards certainly have their place in this world, and they do a lot more than just aiding in human mating rituals. Bearded men, especially with thick facial hair, can boast about having a healthy balance of bacteria in their stubbles that are actually good in keeping skin healthy, according to a 2014 study published in the Journal of Hospital Infection. Male hospital workers in the US who were in the habit of shaving beards had higher amounts of harmful bacteria present on their faces than their bearded counterparts, possibly due to the damage skin often sustains after a shave. The youthful glow of a smooth look is worth a few nicks, though, and shaving has also been proven to scrape away dead skin cells.
It's hard to say whether having a beard is healthier or not, but it's undeniable that men with beards are either a hit or miss in aesthetics. Check out a whole list of before-and-after shaving comparisons below, and just try to believe that it's the same person in each photo.

Before And After Beard
Friedlander Rosenzweig 8 years ago
This gentleman is very lucky- he looks great both ways. Nice to be able to do something different now and then.
Carol Heiser-Stefanski 8 years ago
Exceedingly handsome young man without the beard. Drawn to your eyes now.
Connie Martin 8 years ago
Without the beard he looks very much like Ralph Fiennes. Which is a good thing.
Peter Jacobs 8 years ago
The beard needs trimming and the shaved photo is airbrushed. Jury's out.
Merilyn Horton 8 years ago
He looked like he had a substance abuse problem, now he looks like a school teacher.
Sharon Moore 8 years ago
Before he looks like a scary homeless guy. Without the beard, can see his eyes are gorgeous and he looks like a successful intense handsome guy.

I thank this great man Lord Zakuza for he has brought me back to life after he helped me to recover my lost partner of 3 years and now we are both in love that will never come to an end.

Right hand photo just overly photoshopped to look smooth and blemish free
Josh Weaver 7 years ago
Looks great in both pictures thanks to his eyes but the "after" pic has some heavy photo shopping and/or makeup to deal with those under eye shadows and his much darker eyebrows.
Bonnie Barney 7 years ago
The beard is horrible and ugly. He is such an attractive guy without it
Lori Tilton 8 years ago
If he would trim up the before pic so that his beard is neater then before.
Bert Kranenburg 8 years ago
he's gorgeous without !!he has a perfect symmetric face.. doe something with it .. use it to your advance and have some professional pics taken !
Dee Jeffrey 8 years ago
Maybe if he combed his beard it wouldn't be so bad. But I like him without the santa beard.
Shawna Kinman 8 years ago
perhaps if the beard wasn't so scraggly looking and it appears he is slightly jaundiced :)
Melinda Barbour 8 years ago
Definitely keep your new look. It really brings out your beautiful eyes
Miriam Hirsch 8 years ago
Reall, get rid of all of the beard. You are much more attractive without it.
Renee Gilbert 8 years ago
Better without the beard. He has beautiful eyes. The beard distracts from that.
Blind Oracle 8 years ago
And he filled his eyebrows in, and had softer lighting ... I don't know if he has makeup on in the second pic or just airbrushed the circles under his eyes.
Bridget Smith 8 years ago
I think you have a stunning face without the beard. I'd love to see what you look like with a well-groomed beard. I think that would look really attractive yet still professional. The first picture is borderline homeless style, which is why I'm not a fan

Yeah some of these were actual transformations, where it was hard(-ish) to recognize the man. But I would still say the wording if the title was unnecessary. I clicked on the link because I wanted to see the before/after pictures, not because of the "YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT'S THE SAME PERSON" title. I usually don't find Bored Pandas titles unnecessary or too click-bait-y, but this one isn't good.

Interesting compilation. Some look better before, some look better after, some look great both before and after. Got to find what works best for you with what you have. A common theme among the large beards is that they were unkept. A protperly kept beard is actually more work than many believe it to be: beard oil, beard balm, beard brush, scalp brush to scrub the facial skin underneath the beard and that doesn't include barbering maintenance and finding a proper beard master barber to help 'guide your way' in the facial hair department.
Josie Beaudoin 8 years ago

Men should sport beards or not based on their own preference. That's what freedom is all about. But in response to the question "What do you think?", my answer is that large beards in this modern day and age are highly problematic. For example, sporting a long beard while operating a lathe could easily be fatal.
Renee Gilbert 8 years ago
Some looked better with the beards, some look better without them. It's all about the facial structure and whether the beards complimented that structure or not.

A lot of the beards shown were overgrown, it doesn't allow for a proper determination as to how they would look with a nicely trimmed beard. I have to admit quite a few of the guys looked better with a beard, in fact I was amazed what was hiding behind the beard. Sometimes it was better to keep it hidden. What it comes down to is, it depends on the guy.

Almost every comment on these pics are very judgmental and sometimes down right insulting. I repeatedly found myself cringing as hoards of middle aged women old enough to be their mums/grandma's sat there giving their opinion in the most Chauvinistic display I think I've ever seen! Maybe we could do a post where all you older ladies who've looked through this post and shoved your opinion down every on of these men's throats could all post a 'make up' pic and then a no make up pic! Then we can sit here and hopefully you'll realize how s****y and disrespectful your judgment sounds when you're the one being insulted and picked apart about every flaw they see. Disgusting behaviour.

Hey Mantel Ode, if you are going to spout Bible stuff at least have the decency to get it right. Leviticus is in the Old Testament, which means it was around for hundreds of years before Jesus. It also says not to cut the hair on the sides of your head. Do you follow that too?

I have to admit quite a few of the guys looked better with a beard, in fact I was amazed what was hiding behind the beard. Sometimes it was better to keep it hidden. What it comes down to is, it depends on the guy.

I like beards. IMHO, almost all these guys look better with a beard. My husband is # 166

If this was an article with women, eg."Better with makeup or withour? Better with short hair or long hair?" And people commented the way they did with these "Big mistake" "Better without" Reactions would be so much different.

Almost every comment on these pics are very judgmental and sometimes down right insulting. I repeatedly found myself cringing as hoards of middle aged women old enough to be their mums/grandma's sat there giving their opinion in the most Chauvinistic display I think I've ever seen! Maybe we could do a post where all you older ladies who've looked through this post and shoved your opinion down every on of these men's throats could all post a 'make up' pic and then a no make up pic! Then we can sit here and hopefully you'll realize how s****y and disrespectful your judgment sounds when you're the one being insulted and picked apart about every flaw they see. Disgusting behaviour.

I do like beards but only neatly trimmed ones that are kept well groomed.

What is with these super-handsome men hiding behind facial hair? For most, the beard doesn't make you look "mature", it makes you look old. Not pretty.

For many young men, you're only ever one job or one girlfriend away from a shave/haircut.

Are the gay men only a girlfriend away from one also?

#5 looks better with the beard because it covers up those ugly neck tattoos.

In general all the guys are farrrr better minus the beards but I'm not a fan of beards. Some look years younger and drop dead gorgeous!!!

Hey Mantel Ode, if you are going to spout Bible stuff at least have the decency to get it right. Leviticus is in the Old Testament, which means it was around for hundreds of years before Jesus. It also says not to cut the hair on the sides of your head. Do you follow that too?
