Ever had a really bad idea? Like grow a beard?

[fredaevans]

In bathroom brushing my teeth and looked in the mirror. Face looked like a thousand miles of bad road. Time to knock off 5 days of face fuzz.

So much for looking like 'Old Man on the River.'

even though beards attract everything (dirt, lint, toothpaste, food, etc etc) there is no shame in having one, it adds character !!

what's wrong with having a beard?

 

[swimmy]

Actually wish I could grow one, especially during the Winter. I get some whiskers on my chin and mustache but that's about it.

But on the flip side, I don't have to spend a lot of money shaving accessories.

I hate to shave...so I do it about every 3-4 days, so its always knocking off a thin beard, minus the gotee, that part stays. However, wintertime is offical beard time. November to march sometimes April is beard season. I dont care what the wife says

Ladies love a nice beard, and especially a nice mustache. Back in the day, nothing said "distinguished" like some facial hair.

I grow a beard 10 months of the year. July and August I have it shaved off but the rest of the year I let her fly. My wife has gotten used to it now and complains less and less.

 

[two_nymph_rig]

I have been married for almost three years, and have known my wife for about 6. I don't think she has ever seen me clean shaven. She will not allow it. I do not complain one bit, I hate shaving.

I grew one while moving to Colorado, actually grew in in Wisconsin My wife likes it and I love not shaving everyday. Many benefits to a beard. That said, I've got some friends who shouldn't grow one, just doesn't come in right.

The whiskers grow whether I want them or not. Almost every picture of me has the 'you need a shave look'. Every winter when I come home from the cabin I have a task cutting the gray fur from my face. I would be happy if my face went bald rather than my scull................

 

[South Holston]

Been married 34 years- my wife has never seen me without one. She want let me shave it. I try to tell her I am handsome without it....

 

[fredaevans]

Started with a regular shave/soap thing and zero penetration. Had to dig out an old electric and plug it in....... Still took close to 10 minutes. Face now looks like 500 miles of rough road, but at least I'm down by 50%.

I've had a beard for 15 years. In addition to its debatable aesthetic qualities, it saves me having to shave in the morning. My wife doesn't like it. It's not coming off unless I need surgery or something.

Beards are a sign of a rich inner life.

That is so true.

 

[calftail]

My beard started in '68 after living in a bunker. I went to Woodstock in "69" and it's still here. I keep it trimmed. It's grey.

 

[jcw355]

Mine has a lot of grey, but I dont care. I've had one since I was 19. I have to give it a trim every few weeks. I dont want a zztop beard.

Boy ain't that the truth!! Or my damn ears, Mrs Fysh takes the tweezers to my ears every few weeks to keep em in control.

I like to keep my whiskers on the short side too.

 

[caseywise]

i keep a "non" gotee as my wife cant stand any upper lip hair.
works for me......

Hate shaving, so I don't. I just trimmed it after a year of just letting it go.

First time I've actually laughed out loud in days! My first 'Beard' was the result of falling off my roof. Well, the fall was nothing, the contact with an asvalt drive way was another matter. Still keep that old Costco entry card as that's the only picture I have.
