Im not shaving Till Christmas
Who's with me!

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut

Re: Im not shaving Till Christmas
Bugger it, I'm in as well!
Been about a week since I shaved as well.
Re: Im not shaving Till Christmas
Unfortunately I can't be a part of the fun. My goatee is at optimal length.
Re: Im not shaving Till Christmas
My job requires that i keep clean shaven, or at the very least short stubble.
I wish i could take part...time for a new job, methinks.
Re: Im not shaving Till Christmas
I haven't shaved since 1982...
This space intentionally left blank
Re: Im not shaving Till Christmas
I was gonna say I haven't shaved since last Christmas, but I think you kinda pre-trumped me.
Re: Im not shaving Till Christmas
Scratch my previous post, i'm taking part anyway. I'm going to see how much i can get away with it, and hopefully last till Christmas, at which point me and a friend are going to Melbourne for new year. With the beard, i'll look old enough to not need an ID at pubs. Woohoo.
Re: Im not shaving Till Christmas
Beard certainly helps. I never get IDed which facial growth, but clean shaven I almost always have to show my ID.

Re: Im not shaving Till Christmas
Yup, same with my work. I was considering joining but now that you mention it I would get fired...

Re: Im not shaving Till Christmas
I tried to let it grow one week this very summer; but it needless to say it made me feel too old; not to mention that it's too much hassle to trim it, might as well just shave it all off.

Re: Im not shaving Till Christmas
Oh, you guys are talking about shaving your face. Heh, see, I thought ... well, never mind what I thought. Good show!

Re: Im not shaving Till Christmas
You just reminded me of a horrible event a few years back where I attempted to shave something other than my face with an open end razor... At first it was smooth sailing, but soon the tide turned.
I have no comment on the story as a whole other than the fact that Goldbond Medicated Powder is a life saver...
Re: Im not shaving Till Christmas
Same here.Unfortunately I can't be a part of the fun. My goatee is at optimal length.
The simple fact is, I don't look very good with my whiskers grown out long -- my goatee is currently around 1/3 inches. More than that, and it just gets all scraggly & messy, and I end up looking like a hobo.

Re: Im not shaving Till Christmas
I didn't shave for about 2 months during the Stanley Cup playoffs as I grew a playoff beard in support of my Detroit Redwings who (of course) went on to raise the cup. Wife hated it, but it worked!

Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."

Re: Im not shaving Till Christmas
No wonder she hated it, that beard makes you look a lot older...
Re: Im not shaving Till Christmas
Guess I'll join ya.

Re: Im not shaving Till Christmas
Now that it is revealed that the camel lord is the bearded one, all of his followers must also become bearded.Same here.

Re: Im not shaving Till Christmas
I might join you on this one... it shouldn't matter too much for me anyway as i haven't shaved for 3 weeks and after that it grows incredibly slowly, saying that it usually starts to do my head in when i am able to chew my own facial hair, not that i try...
In remembrance of our great Admin Tosa Inu, A tireless worker with the patience of a saint. As long as I live I will not forget you. Thank you for everything!
Re: Im not shaving Till Christmas
I have a feeling his wife's objections may have been as much tactile as they were aesthetic. I know from personal experience that some women don't like kissing men with beards, goatees, and/or mustaches.
I certainly have no objections if any wish to do so.Now that it is revealed that the camel lord is the bearded one, all of his followers must also become bearded.
Still, we must remember that it is through following the True Path that our fellow members of the Order shall gain salvation.

You really need to stop misleading our brothers and sisters with that wretched, vile camel heresy. Hell we're having a hard enough time as is trying to fix YOU!

Re: Im not shaving Till Christmas
A week you say. Man, I double-dog dare you to take a xmas break trip to Mexico, and try to get back into the country without getting pulled aside for further "interviews".After a week

Gregoshi, that thing must be down to your kneecaps by now. (j/k ol' buddy; I'm with you. I keep my chin 'clean' in deference to the Missus's wishes. But I've had a moustache since 1969, and occasionally grow the beard for solidarity reasons - as Mount Suribachi. Maybe, once the Detroit Lions' "Bobby Lane Curse" lifts next week, and my team starts winning, Ms. K. will not object to another whisker wonderland)
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
Re: Im not shaving Till Christmas
Lemur would never let me grow my beard like that. He has very sensitive skin....After a week
RIP Tosa
Re: Im not shaving Till Christmas
I'm just a sensitive guy, but that doesn't mean you have to broadcast it to the whole world, you wicked minx!
And let me tell you, when I don't shave it gets ugly ...
