Beard or no beard?
« on: January 30, 2007, 11:16:09 AM »
With the plethora of pictures being posted lately, I'm starting to feel like Hunter Rose and I are the only male members who are clean-shaven. Fistful has a goatee, carebear has a goatee, Ezekiel and Monkeyleg likewise, you can tell that Bogie has at least a moustache...

Clean shaven now, but I used to grow a beard during the winter months.  I've never had a goatee or any such thing.

I absolutely hate shaving, but I'm too hot natured to wear a beard year round.  I shave about every other day now.

Full beard here, sort of trimmed. Wife hates it, I like it because I can be lazy in the AM.

Normally I have just a El T Monkey Butt moniker which Mrs Charby likes. I usually grow my beard out in early Oct for hunting season, but just kept mine on a little longer this winter. I have a bird hunt in two weeks and probably shave it off shortly after it.

Some people look better with facial hair. 

I've heard many times that people are less likely to trust a bearded man.  Can anyone shed some light on that?  What about Jesus and everyone else in the Old and New Testaments?  What about Santa Claus, Abe Lincoln and about half the "trust-worthy" public figures from the later nineteenth century?  Is this just a relic of some post-war ethos that demands everyone be clean-cut and wear a hat, coat and tie?

It's just jealousy from all the low-testosterone types who can't grow a decent beard.  grin

Wish I could grow a beard and handlebar moustache.  Unfortunately my beard grows here and here and here, and what actually does come in is bright red and curly.  Well, what's not grey and curly is bright red and curly.

Yeppers, a fact I realized when mine really started coming in at 15.

Growing a beard now, since I've not had one for the past 14 years due to work restrictions then (OHSA related) and only sported either the monkey-butt, Jamie Hyneman style walrus moustache or a long Fu Manchu.  If I don't like the beard, its back to the monkey-butt and maybe shave the head since the hair there is going away on its own. *SOB*

If there's hair to be grown, I have it, in abundance, except for my temples. There, it's begun its retreat.

Very true.  A friend of mine who has a "weak chin" looks silly without a beard.

Carebear, nobody ever said my goatee was "decent." It's actually pretty cheesey.

I grew mine back in 1994, when my hair loss was becoming more apparent. For whatever reason, I'd gone over a week without shaving, and my wife commented that it looked nice. Then she said, "a lot of guys who lose their hair grow beards." So, I did.

Funny thing is, she now hates it, and says it makes me look older.

I have to admit that that's where I am too. Just hoping that will change in the future.

No beard. Can't grow one. Keep the scraggly stuff shaved.

i'm 16, so nothing much yet, just here and there.

i plan on a soul patch or goatee[yea, looks aweful on bald guys but i think it would match my looks personality, etc] later if it happens to look good on me.

i'm old fashioned, and i bet i'll be using a straight razor - from what i've seen with the 2-bladers we have here, they don't offer a very close shave, leaving a scratchy scruff, no matter what technique i use [going up, going down, one big stroke, little short overlapping movements, etc].

Beard.  The stuff grows too thick and too quickly to keep it cleanly shaved.  "Five o'clock shadow" my left arse cheek.  My shadow shows up at noon or earlier, like it or not.  My stubble could teach the UPS guy a thing or two about timely arrivals.

So I have full beard.  If you can beat 'em, join 'em.  I try to keep it neatly trimmed, so that I don't look like a mangy unkempt oaf.  That's the plan anyways.  I'm not so sure it's a success.

All of you folks who can't grow a beard, count your blessings.

I was like that in my early twenties, which coincided with active-duty service.  Thank God.
