Petition Action

Allow Armed Forces personnel to grow beards if they wish

Petition Details

I work closely with people who wish to grow a beard because of the expenses of shaving items and the discomfort caused to the skin.

If we were allowed to grow beards we would keep them neat, tidy, and clean.

Additional Information

I work closely with people who wish to grow a beard because of the expenses of shaving items. Monthly costs incurred include razors, razor heads, shaving foam, not to mention the more expensive moisturisers and shaving balms having to be bought for sensitive skin.

Shaving everyday also leads to abrasions and tears in the skin, therefore causing discomfort, despite using the most highly rated brands. Shaving also stops the skin from producing the naturally occurring oils protecting the face.
