Heh... Maybe I'm imagining it, but *right* before she exits camera left after saying "fantastic look" at 0:59, it looks like the trophy girlfriend does some kind of weird mouth expression, as if to say, "did I really just say that with a straight face?"

I thought it said 'goatse shaver' and was not impressed, but then I saw it correctly and I wasn't impressed, but then I realized that wasn't a very big difference, and I wasn't impressed.

I think this thing qualifies as art: "Chindōgu...is the Japanese art of inventing ingenious everyday gadgets that, on the face of it, seem like an ideal solution to a particular problem. However, Chindōgu has a distinctive feature: anyone actually attempting to use one of these inventions, would find that it causes so many new problems, or such significant social embarrassment, that effectively it has no utility whatsoever." (previously) (Also, no puns intended.)

You're confusing this with the goatse saver. Same manufacturer, but a completely different use.

That doesn't look like it would make grooming appreciably easier. What they really need to do is package that thing, something that will also cover your eyelids & eyebrows, and a big old butane torch.

It makes no sense, though ... I mean, doesn't this just prevent one from shaving the armor-encased area? How would one then trim their goate to a shorter length, or will it just grow forever like the facial hair of some heavy metal bandmember?

Was it just me, or did all the men in that commercial seem to have goatees that were wider on one side than the other? Especially the guy with the trophy skank?

I always thought that kind of van dyke looked like the guy just pulled his face out of a pile of shit. But then, I really dislike (understatement) facial hair.

I love the model's expression at the beginning; like she's stealing herself up to actually touch the guy. What do you wanna bet she obsessively washed her hands afterwards?

This is the second time I remember goatees and related styles being completely ridiculed and lambasted on the blue.
Is there something wrong with goatees/Van Dykes that I'm not aware of? Is it all facial hair? Because "pornstaches" and "neckbeards" all seem to get the glare of disdain as well.
While this particular product may indeed be silly, to those of you who are so annoyed by it, is there any proper way to wear facial hair? Or is it all anathema?
I'm currently sporting a smaller modified Balbo since I accidentally cut the connectors on my Van Dyke. Does such a large percentage of people really think I'm somehow deficient because of this choice?
I'm actually quite serious in asking this.

A percentage of people will think you're deficient no matter what you do with your facial hair. The goatee/van dyke seems to get a lot of hate because it was too popular for a while. Shrug.
(I've had a van dyke for a dozen years; currently experimenting with a full beard but I'm not sure it's an improvement. But I need some kind of beard. I need it. Because I HAVE NO GODDAMN CHIN WHATSOEVER)

The video answers this question in the first two sentences. "It reflects your personality. It declares your individuality." A not statistically-insignificant number of goatee wearers seem to be under the mistaken impression that this is somehow true. And for that, they get mocked.

The manliest of men sport ungroomed, untrimmed full beards like mine. If I am feeling whimsical, it can be styled into a Ducktail or French Fork with minimal labor. All other styles of facial hair are naught but admissions of failure and insufficient follicles.
Back to the GoateeSaver itself, I quote the FAQ:
How do I adjust the GoateeSaver guides?
You will notice an arrow on the middle guide that shows the direction the nuts.
I think that just about says it all, really.

When I was climbing trees for a living, I had to shave my head because it was just too messy with all the leaves and crap I'd get in my hair. After I shaved my head, it looked weird without any hair. My wife had told me she hated facial hair, but I grew a van dyke out anyway.
That was fifteen years ago, now she won't let me shave it off.
