Over the last four years I've sported a beard. From a full facial for about a year to a 'three musketeer' type goatee. I kept the goatee clipped to a 3-4 mm effort. I decided to shave it off in early July whilst on holiday. When I came back, not a word from anyone  ??? . Nobody noticed  :)

Anyone a beardface at the moment?

I look around 12 years old without some form of facial hair.

I'm currently sporting around a weeks worth.

Can't go wrong with a wonderful beard.

I have had sideburns for about 6 years, and have now (due to laziness as well as other factors) decided to sport a chinstrap. I keep it for about two weeks, shave it all off, then start again.

It could well be that they've just drawn the beard in mentally- my Dad always had a moustache until about eight years ago, then shaved it off and hasn't gone back. For about two or three years I didn't notice. I had got so used to seeing him with one my head just kind of 'drew it in'...

When I had the full beard some woman in a supermarket car park did a double take and said "I thought you were Russell Crowe". Yeah, shopping in Calne  :D

I once grew my beard for 4 months.
I also tried Wolverine sideburns for a few days. I've always wanted to have sideburns like The Rock circa 98/99 but my facial hair doesn't grow right for them.
As most will remember I also had the long hair beard Jesus combo going for a bit.

Only used to be clean shaven for work as i used to think a bit of stubble gave the impression to some of being scruffy.

Now people dont really give a shit i havent been clean shaven for about 5 years and cant see that changing for a while. 

It's just too uncomfortable in this climate.

Ha I remember that.  All you needed was a begging bowl and a dog to finish it off!  ;D

Looks like the guy from the Go Compare ads

I'm sporting a full beard. My mrs wouldn't have it any other way, apparently it's 'manly.'

Lumberjacks have beards.
Lumberjacks are manly.
Therefore you are manly, and should become a lumberjack.

You have an impressive beard. I look up to it.

I normally sport some sort of facial hair these days. I'm like Mr. Sugg, I look like a 14 year old without it and chicks dig the fuzz.

 :nod:  Man beards get the thumbs-up from me too!

After 3-4 days it gets itchy so I shave every other day mostly. Never grown a goatee or anything.

Same here. I didnt shave for a week though and it hurt like fuck shaving after that!

You get through the itchy stage arriba, after a week to ten days

I got bored shaving today. Began trimming and ended up chopping it all off so I don't have to do it again for a couple of weeks. Though I do now look like a boy.

I've sported some kind of clunge sponge for about 10 years and have no intention of changing.

I have no intention of finding out. I'm bald so the upside down head look isn't a good one.

Didn't Alan Cork sport a big beard whilst playing for Sheff Utd?  :sherlock:

Football needs more beards.

 Ha. I had those boots he's carrying too. In my garage somewhere

Trevor Hockey and Paul Breitner too, I can't upload pics (thanks in advance SY) :)

Pirlo sports a beard as well

I think that photo is from the FA Cup semi final at Wembley. I remember my mum questioning who the old man was and that "he looks older than your Dad". I think Cork was only mid-30s at the time too

He holds the record for first team appearances and first team goals at Wimbledon FC, and is also the only player to have scored in all four divisions of the pre-1992 Football League and also the Premier League.

He is the father of Southampton F.C. player Jack Cork.

My first beard began the day after I nicked myself on the neck in various places, and then went on to draw blood on my chin, an ear lobe and finally, on the tip of my nose. I thought that maybe my hand/eye co-ordination was not what it ought to be, That was some time in 1974. When the beard was in its ZZ-top stage, I could keep pencils, unlit cigarettes and even my fountain pen in it without them falling out.

In the summer of 1984, back in England for a while, I decided to have it shaved off one hot June day in a barbers in Chard. However, as I felt (facially) cold for the next four weeks, I threw away my razor and began beard nº 2, which I still have.
