Beards...

Discuss.

I did a week of night-shifts last week so didn't shave. It's been about 11 days so far. It's stopped itching now and is coming along quite nicely, I might keep it :)

Whether or not you should grow a beard depends in large part on genetics. Beard growth is genetically determined and there is not much anyone can do other than to accept what they've been given. If you have developed enough facial hair to allow you to grow a beard, then you owe it to yourself to grow it out at least once during your lifetime -- even if only as an experiment. You may be so pleased with the results, even unexpectedly so, that you decide to keep the beard permanently.

I've had my beard for about 4 months now, and i don't know how i ever lived without it. Guys just look awesomer with beards.

[odinsnephew]

The main problem is the ladies dont like them. Which means regular shaving for me ;)

Although the ladies seem to like a shaved head with some facial stubble. Hmmm.

Yeah do it, I will be once the recommended 6 weeks have passed and I've groomed.

I'm planning on going for the Balbo :afro:

I had a goatee for a couple years. My wife *****ed about it the whole time. So did my 80 year old neighbor lady, which was funny. I just did it for a change of pace. Now I only shave about twice a week, so I've got a pretty good stubble going most of the time. I like that better.

Haha right on. I tried to catagorize my beard on the website, but it doesent really fall under any category. The only category of beard i can think of for mine, is Riker.

I only found out a couple of days ago that i have the EXACT SAME beard that Riker has on Star Trek:TNG. It must have been some kind of subliminal thing, shaving my beard like his. I didn't know i was doing it, but Riker was always my favorite character on that show when i was a kid.

Crazy how things turn out.

Ive tried to grow a beard but to be honest it doesnt suit me.

[Davemetalhead]

I hate shaving with a passion. I've had at least a goatee for the last 15 years or so - I tend to let it all grow out to a full beard then use a beard trimmer to shave to a stubble apart from the goatee. I do this about once a month.

I've had a 'tache since I was about 20 (39 now). I did shave everything off in around '97 once - hated it so much I vowed never again to have a fully clean shaven face :grin:

Respect! Beards.org lament the difficulties of sculpting around the cheek area.

Shame we don't have a beardy smiley :(

[epochfox]

the Chuck Norris beard is the only i will grow when i can.... lagging behind a lil... :(

[snowieken]

most off-topic everThat's what the off-topic forum is for, actually.

I have a goatee for about 5 years now. Pretty normal length, I tend to trim it when it grows too long and heavy metal like. As for width, it just covers my chin (I shave my jaw).

[Telic]

I grew a beard ages ago, only to find that my face had been hiding a TERRIBLE secret from the rest of my body :embarassed:

My face is a closet "ginger" ! :shocked:

I can't stand either! Nothing better than a cleanly-shaven guy with nice hair... although a little bit of stubble isn't so bad. My boyfriend looks good with a five o'clock shadow, but after 2-3 days I wouldn't be so fond of it. :wink:

[Twoflower]

hmm, after looking trough these pictures on beard.org for a while, i realise that i am a beard wearer myself ^^i call it too lazy to shave, but i guess it is a beard after all.

i change between a commander riker style, a goatee, sideburns and full scale not shaving quite regulary :D

[Tikki]

mmmmmmmmm....I'll have one man, with extra hair please.

I happen to LOOOVE beards, side burns, ANY facial hair. My one complaint with my boyfriend is that he can't grow a beard...and whenever we fight, he shaves just to get me angry.

More hair= more man.

Ill get growing mine now just for you :)

[moopy]

I have a goatee for about 5 years now.

I can't be the only one who read that as "goatse".

[Kalos]

I can't be the only one who read that as "goatse".
Sheer brilliance :grin: Thank you for this wit, best line I've seen today.

Snowie, what's this I've been hearding about you and Goatse then? :laugh:

[piscene]

Shame we don't have a beardy smiley :(

Looks like the 'tache is as close as it gets. :tache:

I've found that women have widely ranging opinions on the beard. When I had the goatee, my wife didn't like it, but a number of my female friends liked it a lot. My best friend's wife liked it so much, she asked him to grow one too, and he still has it several years later.

What about nasal hair? Or ear hair? Heh!

Sounds like you need to date Wolverine, Miss Tikki ;)

[Tikki]

hahaha! wolverine was quick delicious!

I mean...it's all personal preference...some men like a woman who has to brush her upper lip, others don't :p

I find men who are very approachable and laid back have facial hair...I probably am subconsciously attracted to that quality rather than the hair!

Although, it would be a nice romantic night, breading my partners nasal sprigs :)

[Herald of Doom]

I had a goatee for about a year and a half, currently trying to see if my full beard is worth it. At 22 I think it's pretty ok-ish so far...

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y3/Herald1337/Picture15.jpg

I might let it grow some longer if i'm patient enough, some girls seem to like it :p

HoD

Snowie, what's this I've been hearding about you and Goatse then? :laugh:Bah, last time I posted somewhere in a beard thread that I had a goatee, this wit was also on me. Can I help it that the word is "goatee"? :hanky:

EDIT: Actually, now I've read it as "goatse" myself. Evil beings giving me a bad mind!

Errr, sorry but I couldn't let this go...."breading" ?

You cover your partners nasal sprigs in bread crumbs ?
Presumably before dipping in barbecue sauce ? Yuk :undecided:


(Do you want nasal sprigs with that burger? :tongue:)

*curses* this is what I get for sneaking looks at my work and not taking the time to reread! *shakes fists*

but of course telic. I love a good burger topped with nasal sprigs! Especially the ones all coated with nose friends! mmm...to are the tasty ones!

My husband's face is also borderline closet ginger, though he only has a goatee.

No beards on my man, thanks. Although, I do greatly admire a good beard on other men in a non-OMGSOHAWT way.

[Hagar the Horrible]

I used to attract different woman depending on my facial hair. Now I just shave it the way my girl wants it. Feeling a bit like Samson here, she took away my power :p

I still threaten her from time to time to grow a full beard to attract girls looking for an experienced lover though :p

that's the cutest thing ever!!!! hahahahaha if I get home early from work, I'll bust into the apartment and be like "You better tell all your hos to get out of here, you're womans home!" I then proceed to check the entire apartment and as where they're hiding.... MUUAHAAHAHA infidelity is the best joke in a relationship!

[Caderbery]

Tikki, sorry hun. I Tried to grow a beard for you but after just a few days its become to itchy and ive shaved it off :(

[DrScience]

Too bad, i guess that means shes mine to impress now! feel the wrath of my pristine, well managed beard!!!!!

*lightning bolts and terror-shrieks*

[PlayThemAll]

I run with a beard from September through spring. Once it starts getting hot it has to go.

Last winter I went without trimming and ended up looking like Grizzly Adams by spring.

[theseus]

I have been blessed with a fair amount of facial hair since my mid-teens :) I work in a professional environment so I have settled for a 'Craig David' style.http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.nndb.com/people/449/000109122/craig-david.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.nndb.com/people/449/000109122/&h=334&w=241&sz=20&hl=en&start=10&sig2=zIesagiLb1JBaP4z4f2aJw&um=1&tbnid=X28X_m3ixQvheM:&tbnh=119&tbnw=86&ei=2pOfR7rgEYm8hALE5ZnZBw&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcraig%2BDavid%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN
Mine is a bit thicker though.

I grew a 'Moustache for Movember though, the girl really doesn't like it though :(

[piscene]

LOL, my beard is like... Neon red.

Same here. I have blond hair, but the beard comes in like my face is on fire.

[odinsnephew]

Rather oddly, I havnt shaved since this thread started and I now look like ive been dragged through several hedges backwards ;)

*itches furiously*

[Tikki]

muuahahaha!

I'm the luckiest woman on earth! I've got all of you wow crazed hairy men to make my work day go faster!!

muauahahahahaha!!

marky mark who?

[Telic]

Oddly enough, I never found a beard that itchy.

Conversely, when I trimmed a different area it was incredibly itchy. :afro::afro:

I never used to find it itchy, but because it has been awhile since i last had one it was very itchy.

BAHAHAHA TOO true!!

guys don't know half of the pain girls go through to keeping looking good!

you thought trimming was aggitating...imagine....just imagine...waxing!!! :cry:

Waxing isn't that bad. Don't ask me why I know. No, really, don't.

HoD

[Tikki]

Waxing isn't that bad. Don't ask me why I know. No, really, don't.

HoD

.....but now I have to know!!!!!!!!!

the ONLY way waxing isn't bad is if you do it a lot...which only adds more mystery to how you know waxing isn't bad!!! :grin:

[Herald of Doom]

Weeell, I lost a bet and had to wax my chest. And yes, I have lots of hair on my chest (pm me for proof lol). It hurt a little but not that much really, one short AUCH and it was gone until the next strip ;)

Your chest!!!? ooh...your eyebrows don't hurt either! Not that I would know how chest waxing felt :shocked:

does a football to your chest hurt just as much as a football to your 'censored' area?! :grin:

Am I wearing a cup or not? :laugh: OK point taken, but although the pain might be less than "down there" I do have LOTS more hair on my chest so maybe it evens out :p I wonder how much waxing my beard would hurt....

That's grounds for a serious ass-kicking.

[Tikki]

HoD: I totally have an experiment for you....buy a large container of wax, and wax EVERYTHING off and report back to us as what feels the worst :p ;) hehehehe I doubt the beard would be toooooo bad! You could make a design in it if you were really handy with the wax!

caderbery- WHY!? WHY!!! Tell the story! come on!

[odinsnephew]

I shaved my monstrosity off this morning. Im a new man again without itching too ;)

/bonus

[DrScience]

you thought trimming was aggitating...imagine....just imagine...waxing!!! :cry:

LOL, i waxed 1/2 of one of my legs a couple of days ago. with duct tape. i know the pain. :cry:

edit: it wasn't for fun, it was a bet.

edit 2: a stupid bet...

[spadron]

Ack! Don't ask me why, but I shaved it off! I immediatly regretted it and will never shave again. :(

[Tikki]

why are all you men shaving your hair! leave it!!! LEAVE IT I DEMAND!!

Now THAT would be a good reason for a blog... I'm leaving on a skitrip for a week, when I get back I'll seriously think about it :laugh:

Still have my beard but growth seems to have stopped on my uppercheecks, I may not be ready for a full beard :'(

HoD

We've got Tikki championing the cause of the hairy, so to even things out, I shall cheer on the hairless. :wink:

[AnejoDave]

A few months after my ex left me I grew a goatee. It looks good when I keep it trimmed

[Tikki]

HoD I think we found the best idea ever!! :)

When you return I expect a blog, pictures, and a large jar of wax! muuahahahahaha!! Are you going to take requests as to what to wax first? My is your arm hair...MUUAHAHAHA!

[AnejoDave]

Pubes
Inner thigh
Butthole
then report pain

[piscene]

I'm not even sure exactly what that meant, but I know that I'm disturbed by it.

[Tikki]

i do believe those were his waxing requests!

what a brave man to actually request what everyone really wants to know!

[AnejoDave]

It's not me doing it so of course I'm interested in the pain levels. It's for "ahem" science.

truth is I just want to see if anybody is dumb enough to actually do it

[Tikki]

AnejoDave...

Yes people are dumb enough...think of all those dirty movie you've watched....You don't see women looking like Yeti's, do you?

It all hurts!! Trust me! HoD don't trust me. You my son must learn through experience :)

[AnejoDave]

It's only a dirty movie if you're embarassed to be caught watching it.

[Tikki]

No no no...they're dirty movies...do you ever see anyone clean at the end of them?

[AnejoDave]

Sure, the underwater ones did :grin:

[Tikki]

I'm not too sure I even want to know....octopuses, sealions, and guppies...OH MY!
