Headcanon: Bruno never learned how to shave.

He could have asked a random man from the village to teach him, but aside from being an introvert, it just didn’t feel right to have someone else teach him what he should have learned from his father. So he never bothered to try. 

Bruno no doubt looked at his father’s portrait every single day, and on a subconscious level, he wanted to be just like Pedro. That was another reason he let his facial hair grow. 

And before anyone with facial hair chimes in about Bruno’s beard looking too neat, facial hair grows differently on everyone and doesn’t always require a meticulous amount of maintenance to stay a certain way.
