How to pull out beard?

Ok so, if you shave the beard you cut it at the surface of the skin or just slightly below if you try harder.

Which means that when the beard grows for just another 0,5mm (0,02inch) it will be visible again and call for another shave. (Which usually doesn't take very long.)

It would make sense though, that if I would pull the beard out (preferably with the follicles as they would need additional time to regrow themselves) it would require a lot more time to regrow to such a length that it actually comes to the surface of the skin.

Effectively prolonging the time needed between shaves.

Any good ways to achieve this apart from taking tweezers and pulling out each separate hair?

It's not that it's painful but it would definitively take an extremely long time.

    Half the razors on the market (electric and regular) claim they're designed to do just that.

    About the only thing you can do is wait an hour or so after you get-up to shave: your skin is a little puffy after lying down and will recede and expose a little more of the whiskers than if you shave immediately. And with an electric, use a pre-shave which will shrink the skin back a bit.

    There are hundreds if not thousands of whiskers on your face: you can have laser or electrolysis removal (takes multiple trips and $$$) and even that is not always successful for some people (saw that on People's Court, lol).

    Pulling out a few hairs may be tolerable, but if you start plucking out every hair on your face, it will be raw before you even get 1/4 of the way done!

    Shaving is just something us men have to do, most everyone understands that, and it isn't uncommon for most of us to have what is called a "5 o'clock shadow" by the evening hours. Either shave again, wait until morning and shave or... you could consider laser hair removal treatments. But you will find that expensive and less then a permanent solution.

    I believe perhaps waxing would achieve removal of follicles from your face, however this may be very sore and not recommended if you have low pain threshold.
