Beards

[Niels]

If not for the itchiness, and the fact that that they seem to close more doors than they open in my little corner of the world, I wouldn't mind wearing a full beard. Sometimes, I sport the stubble look. It's fun to change things up every now and then.

Well I'm picky. I like what paul posted, but not the posts at the beginning of this that showed, like, 8 inch long beards. I find facial hair rather sexy, on a guy's face.
If it's long, I look at them like... seriously, why did you glue a tumbleweed to your shirt?

So many people have told me to shave my facial hair. But it's like the only manly feature about me, so I don't want to part with it.

This is the best thread in the existence of CF.

to this thread.

That is all!


*Runs off*

Beard threads are quite possibly my absolute favorite.

That's a great beard you've got there, Paul... Mine is a wee bit fuller, and I've got a bit of moustache to go with it. It's a deep reddish brown.

Nice! Yeah, mine does get thicker than that, but it doesn't ever want to grow long/grow downward. It just tends to grow outward haha. Eventually it gets a bit out of control and I have to shave it again.

Mine, too! I wouldn't mind having a wizard beard sometime (I don't know if it would be possible given my hair type), but at least I've got some beard to stroke when thoughtful.

How do ya'll deal with back hair? I braid mine.

 

[Lord Of The Forest]

... as in hair on my back? I really don't have any/it's too short and light to notice or feel.

 

[Saucy]

really? I thought you were a grizzly bear like me

 

[Lord Of The Forest]

No way... I've got beautiful hair on my head, but it's pretty much nonexistent everywhere else; I hardly even have eyelashes.

Ha, I managed to dig up a few scary examples...

Beardless (2008) - this picture scares the pants off me.



Medium beard, where I usually keep it.



Thicker, but not the thickest I've grown it. I'm not gonna lie, when I bust out the thick beard with my flannel - the ladies swoon. Okay I'm lying.

I need sideburns transplants.. I can only grow a couple of sideburns hairs..

Beards are nice although when they get long I don't agree with that. Keeping them nicely groomed looks respectable.

I'll mail you mine.

Your hair is too light.. it won't match my hair color.. : (

Although I guess I could dye? If that's possible.. lol.

Sure just throw a little shoe polish on there. Boom. Sideburns.

The clean shaven job thing is so alien to me, pretty much every guy at my job has a goatee. Clean shaven men just look like little kids.

The one me rule though: don't dye or color your facial hair. If it's red, it's red; if it's gray, it's gray. Dyed facial hair is even weirder than no facial hair at all.

I'm with ya there. Nobody messes with my department about dress codes and appearance matters, at least half of us have beards of varying lengths. I just discovered I have this thin ring of white-blond facial hair surrounding my mouth - never noticed it before. I was a towhead when I was a kid so maybe that's it.

Oh, it's possible. But if you do it wrong, you can all too easily end up looking like Hitler. Just google "beard dye" for all the possibilities.

PS: One of my friends once told me that whatever you do, don't try putting Nair on your face as a shortcut for shaping your goatee. The consequences sounded horrifying! :o

Really? Where I work I'm pretty much the only guy with facial hair..

Almost every day this Chinese guy who can't speak English tells me to shave it all off.. lol..

Makes the scissor hand gesture and everything..
