Yesterday I passed a barbershop and saw ads on their wall outside of men with beards and short hair. It is a revival or saving electricity ?

IIRC, it’s the same testosterone-y hormone that determines how good you are at growing a beard that also determines how aggressively you go bald. So there’s lots of folks in this boat with us
It's more so how sensitive your cells/receptors are to these hormones (testosterone/DHT), assuming you have healthy levels. There's people on anabolic steroids that still can't grow a dense beard. It's just genetics.
The more you know!
