Beards

[Angle-plex]

This thread is to discuss the merit of beards. Do you enjoy beards like any real man would? What are you favorite beards? Feel free to post pics.

[Guest Tzar Lysergic]

I wore a traditional jesus-type beard for a while. I cut it when I came home from college and realized that I looked exactly like my dad, who has had a large gray beard my entire life.

I had a beard for 5 years or so. After having to shave for a job last year, I realized I look better without it. It's also a lot less maintenance to just shave.

After recently getting fired from my retail job for which I had to shave, I'm growing a beard. It's about half way in.

 

I've worn many different styles of facial hair over the years. I think this time I'm going to go back to the Lemmy style handlebar, sideburns combo, but I'm just growing the full beard in first and shaving it from there.

TBH, i would love to grow a beard, but unfortuantly I can't.

[Maztinho]

I've sported the classic Van Dyke, commonly and mistakenly just called A Goatee for a couple of years now. I've also grown out my full beard, but I like the way I look with the Van Dyke better.

[Guest Vitamin X]

I go with just a simple goatee and long sideburns, since it's a bit less work when I have to shave.

 

The scraggly beard thing isn't my style, plus it itches way too much because my hair is naturally curvy/wavy so it tends to get all reddish on the skin when it starts to grow as well. So, I'd rather shave. I refuse to grow a van dyke because my dad had a mustache and I once got a comment that I looked like him with the mustache hair grown out. I have since never had it.

females at work make me shave...they bug me to no end if I don't do so.

[Matt Young]

I have worked at the same place you work, and they made everyone shave.

I haven't been clean shaven since I was 19, and I've gone through every major variety of facial hair, including regular goatee (which I've had about 75% of that time), full beard (24%), moustache (which I tried once and didn't like) and moustache-less goatee (same as moustache)

we've been through the ringer with my facial hair.

[Henry Spencer]

I have a continuing on again/off again relationship with my facial hair. Currently, we're not on speaking terms.

[Richard]

I shave once in a while, but usually let it grow. I'm getting a haircut sometime this week and I figure I should shave it then.

[Copper Feel]

I favour leaving my sideburns and shaving the rest off, although I am constantly bugged to shave them off as well if I do not.

I went that route the last time this thread subject came up, but thought better not to dip in the well a second time

[Ravenbomb]

Despite the fact that I can't grow a decent beard, I've opted to just not bother shaving. So I've got a goatee, mustache, and long thin sideburns, but nothing quite connects as of yet.

[MarvinisaLunatic]

I like not having to worry about shaving, havent had to shave my face in at least 6 months..

Here's an old picture of me with a beard:

[Man Who Sold The World]

Right now I'm working with the Abe Lincoln aka The Anti-Mustache. This is my first attempt at a beard, as I've mostly stayed clean shaven, or used the goatee.

 

 

 

I wanted something new.

Odoyle rules?

[CanadianGuitarist]

Except for the span of of about two weeks in the winter of '05, I've had at least a goatee since I was old enough to grow one. I typically have a chinstrap along with it, except I'm a terrible shaver, so I'll try to clean it up, overdo it, and have to shave everything off. Ditto with having a full beard.

[Vern Gagne]

I can never can that middle part of the mustahce to grow in.

[At Home]

The bosses don't get on me to shave though, its always the girls. I've gone like a week without shaving once and the owner didn't give two shits (and my facial hair grows REAL quick).
