I'm shaving my beard tonight for a job. But also because it really doesn't do a lot other than make me look my age. Without it, I am told I look like a 15 or 16 year old.
I'm with Niomo on this. How exactly is shaving going to save energy? Aren't you just wasting electricity if you use an electric shaver and water if you use a regular razor?
Supposedly, having no beard means you retain less heat, reducing the need to be cooled off. I find this concept to be silly.
you don't really "waste" water. it just goes back to the water filtration plant. or you can re-use it yourself.
This is terrible! Big Japanese men with beards... There's not much hotter then that. What a sad, sad day...
Huh, I think the proper facial hair can increase the manliness of a man by a good 100% if done correctly (see examples: Master Asia, Freddy Mercury, Chuck Norris) so I find a law like this to be somewhat odd. I can't imagine lacking facial hair would cool you down that much. I mean sure, removing ties and jackets makes sense, but this sort of reminds me of that ridiculous Japanese law that said fat people have to lose weight or else risk losing their jobs. I mean what next, you can't eat certain food to reduce waste output?
Of all the places for this to happen, it's Isesaki, the city where I live. Can a thing matter less than this does? For the record, Japanese city employees are the most conservative, tight-laced types of Japanese there are, and no one is wearing beards, pierced earrings or tats.
Anyone got that Yotsuba panel where she says "Cool Biz?"
Also, Gee-Man has a point. Manliness is increased with facial hair. You can't argue with science.

Hold on one second, in order to keep a clean shave I'm pretty sure you would be doing more damage to the environment from the use of shaving cream, going through razers and the water used to shave.
@ Kougeru- The phrase "Don't waste water" really comes from not the idea that the water will go poof and never be used again, but instead from the idea that if you let water run through the faucet without using it, it still goes through the water treatment plant and costs money to treat it, whether or not it's been used or needs to be cleaned again, so really it's a waste of resources and electricity.
That's just damn silly. I'm beardless myself currently, but I feel the pain of my bearded bretheren.
As a man of substantial facial hair myself, I must take offense.
Errr, not really. I just really wanted to take the opportunity to say something that bizarre. I don't see how beards will have any significant effect on cooling, if anything they would help, by trapping more sweat and increasing the surface area it is distributed on, making the perspiration process more efficient.

this has got to be the dumbest thing ever.
first of all, facial hair is fine- it works on some people, on others, no. Sometimes, a person might look stupid without fac/hair.
dumbest rule ever

Talk about overreaction from you guys. I'm guessing none of you have worked fast food because they usually require the same thing
@daeyeth
oh, I worked fastfood before, lol...
I got fired about a month ago XD
it's not so much the beard thing, because I don't have much of one, just a little goatee thing and 'burns...
its more so ppl telling me what to do with my face
(how immature of me... AhA!!)

Yeah, but generally that's for sanitation reasons because you don't want hair falling into the food. That's why they wear hairnets. You can't really wear a hairnet for a beard so banning facial hair makes sense.
Here, it just comes off as really arbitrary and overly beauraucratic.
