One of the most iconic moments in a father-son relationship is the “first shave”. Sharing the same mirror with dad, learning how to maneuver the razor and trying your level best to get the “papa waali moochh”-  every man relishes these warm memories.

But there’s a twist. While our dads stood for crew-cut hair and clean shaven faces that show off a chiseled jawline - GenZ had other plans. We like horseshoe moustaches, lumberjack beards and funky goatees - but does dad approve?

This Father’s Day, I asked papa to comment on GenZ’s favourite beard styles - and his reactions were absolute gold!

Number 1 - The Lumberjack Beard

“It looks creative but I’m unable to see that man’s face - it’s covered in beard! And how does he deal with it in the summer heat? Oh and, is that beard allowed at work?”

Number 2 - Klingon Beard

“Now that’s something I’d like to see on my face too! Slightly high maintenance - but definitely worth trying…. *thinks if he should grow his beard*...Okay, show me Gen Z’s next favourite beard style”

Number 3 - Pilot Moustache

“This takes me back to our days - a classic moustache, clean shaven face & style max. Now that’s more like my style. Why do today’s youngsters want to grow a garden on their face?” 

Number 4 - Brad Pitt Goatee

“Okay, I’ll give this one a 9/10! So pleasant to look at. It’s a subtle beard with classy cuts...and very well trimmed. Your generation is not all funky, eh? Nice!” 

While this exercise with dad was heartwarming, celebs too have decided to hit the memory lane on Father’s Day this year.
