Sorry for the super odd question - I started wondering when writing from a male character’s perspective - but yeah, does it feel different to have tears running down your face with a beard vs. without? What happens to tears when they reach your beard? Do they hang on to the first few hair they touch, or do they run through the beard?
I’m a beard-haver, but I’m not sure exactly. It’s not something I’ve ever paid attention to.
In general, a few drops will cling to the outside. More would soak its way through gradually, likely spreading out a bit as it works down.
But it also depends on how long the beard is, and what products you’ve used on it.
I think the biggest difference is that it’s harder to wipe away–the moisture tends to soak in and your face feels wet for longer.
Hope that helps!
That was very helpful! Thanks :D
