First of all, don't read any further if you're not up to date with Lost. Well you can if you want.

When Jack was on the island he managed to keep his face shaved (with a bit of 'designer stubble'). Then when he got off the island he decided to grow a beard that made him look like a young Osama Bin Laden. Now he's back on the island he has decided to shave off the beard.

Does anyone else find it strange that a man would spend months on an island, presumably with no razor blades, and manage to keep his face shaved but then grow a beard as soon as he got off the island?

I think it all has to do with self image for Jack. When Jack was on the island he was a leader(even though he said he didn't want to be) and I think he enjoyed being the goto decision man. He also was trying to win Kate over. And, let's not his mission of getting everyone off the island.

When jack finally succeeded in getting off the island with atleast Kate, he realized that his life back "home" wasn't that special. He wasn't a leader. kate missed Sawyer and had that secret from Jack. Jack started to second guess his decision about leaving the island. He became an alcoholic, Kate kicked him to the curb, and hence...the beard. I think it is just an outward display of his inner unhappiness.

Once Jack hooked up with Ben and got a new mission of going back to the island, he shaved. That's my opinoin on the whole thing, anyway.

I think you're more than likely right. I wonder where he got the razors from when he was first on the island though.

funny observation!! jack is a very disturbed man. i think he totally has image problems and the beard to me is totally a symbol of him wanting to hide from the world.
