Do You Have a Beard?

[Nickolai]

I find that some of the guys I know that are converts with ZZ Top beards lean towards the "More Orthodox than thou" side. They complain because nothing is ever Orthodox enough for them.

That being said- I'm working on my own ZZ Top beard, and I'm more Orthodox than all of you

Well once I quit my job and go to seminary, I'm gonna have the most Orthodox beard I can grow.

I like a beard on man The one guy I was serious about that didn't have a beard was excused because his grandmother was Native American. My grandmother is half Native and my 12 year old son has a lot of Native blood on his father's side too, so I fear that his hope of growing a handle bar moustache that he can twirl with wax will not come true. That is unless the European genes kick-in in a big way. His fingers are crossed

Haha, I added my input.
Of course, I mean that I would have one if I was male and therefore grew one, but that's because shaving every day would get to be a drag.

Yeah... it is. And the sad thing is that even if I decided to grow one (and my fiancee was cool about it) I would just grow some nasty scrubby thing. I suppos I would settle for a goatee... that is, if my future-wife weren't against it. Alas!

Besides myself you are the only other female i know who likes beards. I find that they say a lot about the person, especially when they're Orthodox Christians.

If i were a male, i would grow a beard so big that it would make Fr. Seraphim Rose beard look tiny.
... Actually, i would probably just grow one out like Cat Stevens.

You look like Bill Walton in that one dude!
The "jerry Garcia" shot of me is lost in the old Photo thread, wherever you guys stuck that one at.

Thanks for putting that link up, Greg. Doubt I'd have ever run across it otherwise.

I just spent the last ninety minutes flipping through the photo album. There's some priceless stuff in there! Did the thread just die? Was another started? Is Photini's hair still the same color?

 

[OrthoTauf]

Yes, I do. I hate it! I especially hate that I have far less hair on my head than I do my face. But the beard hides my double chin and disguises my overly long upper lip, so I wear it. But I'd really, really rather not! Oh, and did I also happen to mention that I despise shaving?

 

[Nebmaatisus]

I had a beard already before converting to Orthodoxy. Somehow it just felt so natural. I am overweight,
getting bald and have a full beard. Just as I like it. (No, I do not have a Harley Davidson)

It used to be in the stickies but after it got put away in the St. Athanasius Chapel and Reference Library people didn't know where it was and stopped posting pics.

Greg,
Thanks for digging that up, the beard is actually a bit more full now.

Just to sort of play off the head covering thread for the ladies. I thought I would make a poll for us guys.

So do you have a beard?

I tried a goatee for a while, but I didn't like it. I have sideburns and a soul patch, but anything more than that gets too itchy for me.

Actually, Tsarina ... my wife, the ever-lovely Grand Duchess Elizaveta loves beards, and told me off the first time I trimmed mine.

Just so you know. Now you know three women who like beards.

I'll have to add your wife to the "women who love beards" list.

I think i'd be like your wife. If Andreas was to cut anything on his face, i would tell him off too LoL.
