Title: Beards Post by: wiggy on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 21:29:35 I have had some time out of the office recently, and at age 41 have grown a beard for the first time in my life.
I look rather dashing :nod:, and there is hardly any ginger in it. Title: Re: Beards Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 21:30:14 I've done the opposite and not been at work and actually had a shave. I think it's good to do things in reverse logic.
Title: Re: Beards Post by: DV on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 21:32:35 I've now taken up to only shaving after Swindon lose.
Not had many this season naturally. Fingers crosses I wont have another one till August or something. When we lost to Rovers I kept my Wolverine sideburns for a day! Title: Re: Beards Post by: Doore on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 21:33:59 Beards are brilliant. I never fully trust a clean shaven man. Who has the inclination to bother doing that every day? Its the mark of the slightly insane - it is a little known fact that bearded men earn more and commit fewer crimes on average than clean shaven men.
Title: Re: Beards Post by: Talk Talk on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 21:36:08 I look rather dashing :nod:, and there is hardly any ginger in it. I don't. Grey and ginger. It makes me look even more of a cunt. Title: Re: Beards Post by: wiggy on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 21:38:15 Couple of grey bits, but the missus just says it makes me look distinguished.

But more likely to commit crimes of paedophilia when they do Title: Re: Beards Post by: yeo on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 21:48:11 I really want a beard but just cant grow one :(
I want a big old white beard and a log cabin in a forest,then ill be happy. Title: Re: Beards Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 21:48:11 Beards are indeed awesome, though mine never comes through as dark as I would like.

Cotton wool and a few storm felled trees up on Shaw Forest. Sorted. I will pop over with flasks of tea. Title: Re: Beards Post by: Barry Scott on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 22:00:00 I only need to shave weekly, or sooner if it starts to itch earlier. I simply don't have thick enough hair to grow a beard, so just look dirty, scruffy or like a 14 year old trying to look 15.
Title: Re: Beards Post by: donkey on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 22:02:00 I have no beard. Ken Bates has a beard. That is all.
Title: Re: Beards Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 22:08:38 I have no beard. Ken Bates has a beard.

Title: Re: Beards Post by: Whits on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 22:26:46 the best thing about a beard is shaving it off and giving yourself the various styles on the way back to smooth face

Title: Re: Beards Post by: Arriba on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 22:49:06 i tried to grow one once,but it became so irritating after a week i shaved it off
Title: Re: Beards Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 22:52:56 I can't grow a beard. I always end up with bald patches :(
Title: Re: Beards Post by: donkey on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, 23:05:12 But you both have large bellies? And so will you one day...you reach that age, 24/25, and without any warning at all your muscles wave a little white flag, and you're suddenly a fat bastard. - A J Rimmer.

Title: Re: Beards Post by: Chubbs on Thursday, April 1, 2010, 06:04:12 i have had some form of beard/facial hair for the last 10 years, i refuse to clean shave as it will make me look like a child.
Title: Re: Beards Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, April 1, 2010, 06:10:42 Yeah I have that problem chubbs. With my hair the way it is at the moment I look a bit like Claire Balding if I'm too clean shaved.
Title: Re: Beards Post by: LucienSanchez on Thursday, April 1, 2010, 06:27:04 I'm lazy and therefore opt for beardage, even though it makes me look like a twat. I've never been one to care about my appearance (evidently)
Title: Re: Beards Post by: Ginginho on Thursday, April 1, 2010, 06:33:24 I don't like being clean shaven, and I don't like to be too beardy, so I try and keep a bit stubbly.
I did attempt a goatee a few years ago, but shaved it off after one day as I felt too self concious and looked a bit paedotastic. Title: Re: Beards Post by: Gelbfüßler on Thursday, April 1, 2010, 06:57:44 I'd love to grow a beard but I suffer quite severely from Gary-Neville-tash syndrome so I tend to look like a total dick if I let it get too long.
Title: Re: Beards Post by: Samdy Gray on Thursday, April 1, 2010, 06:58:46 I really want to grow a proper beard sometime. I've done about two weeks without shaving before, but that's nowhere near Dave's impressive face fluff.
I refuse to be clean shaven because it makes me look about 12 years old. Title: Re: Beards Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, April 1, 2010, 07:11:03 I always shave and it means I look like a 12 year old, which means loads of beardy blokes try and groom me on facebook

Title: Re: Beards Post by: nevillew on Thursday, April 1, 2010, 15:58:15 *Strokes chin* *creates static electricity, attracts balloons* Title: Re: Beards Post by: One F In Fitton on Thursday, April 1, 2010, 17:44:28 For many years (on & off) I had a goatee, but there's too much maintenance involved with that. Therefore I've opted for the full beard for the last 5 years or so. Luckily I have good coverage and it's pretty dark therefore it looks fucking tremendous, plus the more of my boat-race that I can cover up the better it is for everyone. I am 40 now though, and more & more of my face-pubes are gradually turning grey.
All I do is trim it with my hair clippers (no. 1) every 10 days or so and I'm good to go. Title: Re: Beards Post by: Barry Scott on Saturday, June 26, 2010, 18:11:55 I've been getting a bit fucked off with my razor and the alternatives. I won't pay out for the hype that is 5 blade madness from Gillette or even 3 for that matter, but read an interesting article in my search and thought some of the more sophisticated pube faces amongst you might be interested.
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/6886845 It basically boils down to the consensus that the old fashioned double edged safety razor is the best shave coupled with old fashioned Italian or English shaving creams and a badger hair brush. So bought the cream and brush and am gonna wait on the razor until i run out of my current version. Anyone gone this route? Title: Re: Beards Post by: stfcinbmth on Saturday, June 26, 2010, 18:28:09 I've got one of the five blade hype things and think they work rather well, but then I do only use it once a week
Title: Re: Beards Post by: Simon Pieman on Saturday, June 26, 2010, 18:30:08 The Wilkinson sword ones clog up after one use, thus rendering them useless
Title: Re: Beards Post by: Kinky Tom on Saturday, June 26, 2010, 18:37:21 It's all about the tash...
Title: Re: Beards Post by: Barry Scott on Saturday, June 26, 2010, 19:03:39 I've got one of the five blade hype things and think they work rather well, but then I do only use it once a week For some reason, all Gillette razors with more than 2 blades ruin my skin (rash, white heads, ingrowing hairs). I also fail to see how 5 blades is better than 2, apart from the less strokes myth, but then that's just me. :) Title: Re: Beards Post by: Rich Pullen on Saturday, June 26, 2010, 19:07:58 I often sport a poor effort. Mine tends to be an act of laziness.
Title: Re: Beards Post by: Bogus Dave on Saturday, June 26, 2010, 19:14:38 I've not shaved for 3 weeks, and there's nearly 1cm of growth!
Title: Re: Beards Post by: Sippo on Saturday, June 26, 2010, 19:22:12 It's all about the tash... Every september... Title: Re: Beards Post by: stfcinbmth on Saturday, June 26, 2010, 19:29:08 I've not shaved for 3 weeks, and there's nearly 1cm of growth! Is it not itchy? @Barry, only ever have a shave when you come out of the bath, shower etc, it softens the bristles and opens the pores and makes shaving less of a chore, tho I can still only be arsed once a week Title: Re: Beards Post by: Nijholts Nuts on Saturday, June 26, 2010, 21:21:46 the best thing about a beard is shaving it off and giving yourself the various styles on the way back to smooth face I never get tired of shaving it off, and then fashioning various moustache types. I firstly go for some good old fashioned handlebars, to porn star, to Hitler. At each interval I ask the Mrs what she thinks, the joke is now very old (for her), but I find it fucking hilerious every time.Title: Re: Beards Post by: pauld on Saturday, June 26, 2010, 21:37:51 Ha, ha, great thread, especially Ben's "clean shaven I look like Clare Balding". I'm now seriously tempted to grow a beard, just for the partial stage shave off as so brilliant described by NN. Although obviously I won't because I have to drop my kids off at school and don't want to look like I'm hanging round the playground
Title: Re: Beards Post by: Nijholts Nuts on Saturday, June 26, 2010, 21:47:23 I may well be shot down in a big fat ball of flames here and I will be standing by for the incoming, but shall we see how many moustaches we can get in the Town End for Brighton at home?

Although obviously I won't because I have to drop my kids off at school and don't want to look like I'm hanging round the playground I prefer the hirsute Mr D personally. Out of interest and not being funny, but what happened with your alopecia? Did it just get better by itself? Title: Re: Beards Post by: pauld on Saturday, June 26, 2010, 22:46:09 I prefer the hirsute Mr D personally. Out of interest and not being funny, but what happened with your alopecia? Did it just get better by itself? Ha, ha. I see what you did there :) Yeah, grew back as suddenly as it fell out, almost exactly a year later. Weird (although not as weird as I looked). Apparently it happens like that. Some folk, it never grows back, sometimes you get it once then it never happens again and sometimes it can go in cycles so you get an "incident" every 2/5/10 years or so which can last for 12-18 months then it grows back and all falls out again in 5/10/whatever years. Have to confess I'm not on tenterhooks to see which category I fall into :)Title: Re: Beards Post by: Talk Talk on Saturday, June 26, 2010, 22:57:23 I completely understand. I have been getting weird physical shit for years which turns up for a while and then never comes back. I'm currently enjoying psoriasis which will probably disappear in a few months. I have had odd foot rashes, piles, styes, warts, verrucas etc over the years.
I'm just waiting for the random penis enlargement to kick in. Title: Re: Beards Post by: donkey on Saturday, June 26, 2010, 23:27:49 I completely understand.
