I’m admittedly new to running a community anywhere online, but saw a need so I’m trying to fill it and help where I can. I’ve had plenty of my own issues over the years and am hoping for a safe space where men can discuss their own brands of issues. For now we’re gonna run by the Bartender Rule & few other rules stolen shamelessly from [email protected] :

It might sound vain, but taking care of my beard with a brush or comb and some oil or balm in the morning helps me feel more in control of how I look and more confident.

When I was in the depths of depression I didn't take any interest in my appearance at all and so doing that each day I suppose a kick against that period
