Shaving

[edyzmedieval]

Beard my friends, but a properly taken care of one. But don't go into furry territory, that means you have to shave.

Good beard.


Bad Beard.

[Postino]

the former is stubble, not beard.

If I were to shave I would spend far less time and it would much more simple. a good looking, well trimmed beard means a hell of a lot more commitment and skill than just shaving.

Like clothing, facial hair popularity comes and goes. Beards seem to be on the rebound. I find civil war pics very amusing for the fact that everyone has wily facial hair as opposed to current military trends.

Good beard.

I can do that in a day.

Not shaving for at least a week or two is for a beard merely, as Churchill would say, "the end of the beginning".

About twenty-five years ago when I was in a cabin in the woods with Beirut, I went about a year or two without shaving. I had a beard you could hide chickens in. It was glorious.

It's official: Beirut's beard has become a sentient life form and is now posting on the .org.

Me and my beard have a love-hate relationship. I'll go 1-2 weeks without shaving then look in the mirror and think this isn't right at all. So I'll shave it and the cycle continues.

Speaking of truly awsome facial hair...... where's Kukri?

I only wear a full beard when I've been too lazy to shave for a while, usually in the winter when it's (arguably) fashionable.

Currently I have a moustache with the triangle under my lower lip, pirate style. I think it suits me, and so do those whose opinions of my appearance I consider to have value.

I used to add the chin hair with the above (without the sides under the mouth, which would make it a full goatee), but that has turned 50% gray, so I don't usually wear it that way anymore.

I used to wear a full goatee often when I was younger. It looked ok but got to be quite a cliche, so I started doing the pirate thing. This pic, which is buried in the Family Photos ... thread, is of me about a decade ago, with a full goat, and my bro, with his baby face:

Oh, and Vuk - I'm not sure people thinking a person look intelligent is the same thing as looking attractive.

I once had a salesman tell me I looked like an engineer. It was correct, but not exactly encouraging - the stereotype of engineers is not of attractive, well groomed people.

It does seem like goatees are very popular nowadays. Seems like I'll stick with my beard (or, really stubble - I likely won't grow it out again until the winter).

Rabbit - you write posts like an engineer.

I wouldn't be surprised if Vuk was attracted to Gerard Butler .

Or Billy Mays for that matter.

Isn't that right Vuk ?

Nah, Stallone is more my type.

Rabbit - you write posts like an engineer.

You mean he prefers to reason with facts and empirical data points rather than prose which sounded nice when he thought of it but in hindsight also rather empty?
