Beard Shaming 

Beard shaming is defined as inappropriate negative statements and attitutes toward a man's beard. It can also reach into the discrimination against individuals who may have un-matured beards. A backlash against beard shaming has resulted in the coining of the term itself and attempts to bring a more positive attitude toward diverse beards of all sizes and styles.
Does your beard even lift bro? Bro that's straight Beard Shaming.

Shaving the Beard 

When a heterosexual woman divorces her gay husband.
After 30 years of unknowingly acting as Bruce's beard, Cindy finally divorced him after he got caught red-handed at the gay bar.

Bruce: I'm sorry I didn't tell you that I was gay when we got married. Will you stay married to me and pretend that we have sex?

Cindy: I think it's time you came out of the closet - I'm shaving the beard!

Shaving my green beard 

Similar in meaning to chinny reckon. Used to express disbelief, always with an exaggerated motion of one hand on the chin, as though shaving/stroking an imaginary beard. It means that whatever the first speaker has said is so fanciful or impossible that another impossible thing must be true.
Person A: My grandfather was King Henry VIII.
Person B: Really? And I'm shaving my green beard.

Bear Shaving

The efforts we go to to deal with the symptoms of a problem rather than the root cause of the problem.
You have an eating disorder and as a solution you have a gastric band fitted. This is Bear Shaving. The real solution is to get to the root cause of the eating disorder and deal with it.

Global warming is causing the bears to overheat. Solution Shave the bears.
