Beards

[mentalboy]

What is it with beards and impending doom?

I hate having them, they make my skin break out, itch like fury, when I smoked the hair on the upper lip was always a delightful orange colour and permanently stank, if I don't trim it I look like an Iranian muslim cleric and they are such a pain in the butt to trim.

And yet, it would seem, I'm growing another, as it seems is every other normally clean shaven male I know.
It has only just occurred to me that I just can't be arsed to shave when life throws something unexpected or stressful, leaving school (one and only time I went full raghead style), running a business (tidied up but not much else), divorce and emigration (village people style [wtf???]) and now I'm six days in and looking like the average Movember wannabe after they haven't shaved for a month!!

Edit: Not applicable to sailors and those who love their all year round bum fluff.

Having burned one side of my face off, I'm not overly keen on the half-bearded look

Me and the missus have little bet on, that I can grow a beard in two weeks?
I just hope she doesn’t try growing a beard

I’m praying for the phone to ring, calling me out to work so I can shave this nasty fungus off my face.
The initial itching is already driving me mad

Now I’m growing the beard, next I need to fashion some spears, and make some footwear out of animal fur and a loincloth.
I’ll be ready for the apocalypse

Oh noes! I’m gonna have to shave and smarten myself up.

Saved by a call to turn in to work


Pepperami is so sad.

Intent is not to shave for the duration. Can't be arsed and also quite fancy a full ZZ top.

That said I usually manage about 3 weeks at which point it itches alot and I shave.

I've normally got a short beard. The irritation/itching goes away after the first couple of weeks once it's established. Using beard balm/oil makes a difference too. I just run a set of beard clippers over it once a week to keep it today

We have a name for men without a beard . . . WIMMIN.

Grey beards rock.

Sod the beard. I haven't shaved my knackers for 2 weeks.

My face has been set to the 2-4mm stubble setting for about 8 years now.

At times like this, I always let it get a bit more scruffy. I've never gone full beard though. Probably will someday.

[Polarbear]

I've had a goatee for years. It varies from short to bushy to scruffy and back to tidy depending on my mood and wifies orders.

I tend to trim mine when it starts to interfere with my food.

Also fucking aggravating when you crack a can open and get your stache caught in the ringpull.

Yes, but strictly speaking no as I have owned a facial garden since 2015 (I do mow it occasionally)

I love a good beard. And this was before beards became fashionable.

[WreckTangle]

not saying that beards are good or bad, but does the weight of a big beard not add weight to your face?

I have had a beard for about 20 years. I did shave it of once a couple of years ago but the missus prefers me with a beard as long as it is neat and tidy.

No, I haven't tried...
I don't actually think I'd suit a facial beard...and I certainly don't think all men suit their facial beards either.
