Mailny because I couldn't be arsed shaving over christmas and I've gotten used to it.

So am I!

After destruction of alll I hold to be true and beautiful, I decided the best way to cope was to become hirsuit!!!

Doesn't look too bad either, according to all my family and friends ...

They may be lying tho :o(

MEN OF THIS BOARD.i implore you.
how can expect to find a woman that sports the brazilain lshaving style all year round when you dont???

turn back now man.i have done this . works for a few days until you realise you are now that guy in the pub with no girlfriend and a beard.
do you want to be that guy?

do you want to be that guy?

I already AM that guy and was BEFORE I grew a beard!

If anything, my chances remain the same whether I have face fuzz or not ...

Already given up on mine (so that's resolution #1 broken, then) - it itched to high heaven, plus I'm off for a week in Prague tomorrow and don't want to be doing that with half a toothbrush stuck to my chin.


...Dudley

it itched to high heaven

Bah, quitter!

I've passed the ichy phase, mostly cos i spent most of the crimbo period drunk and just didn't notice.

It's actually quite soft at the moment and I intend to go for the full 'Alan Moore'.

I'll keep you posted with an occasional 'beard watch' thread.

Oh, and girls love it!!

gentlemen, may i suggest that a day or two's growth is no good for the laydees, yup, stubble rash ain't just for men, s'like snogging sand-paper. what a lot of guys don't realise is that its possible to go past that stage & be all soft & kissable, with no more face scraping nine-o'clock shadow. . yes a well trained beard can be a reasonable thing on the right face, a decent goatie or so....

just NEVER EVER EVER go to moustash land.

join us, be one of the hairy ones....
My goate just got a trim b4 chrissy everyone was calling me Ossama.....Now I've been informed by the ladies its very Reznor(neat and pointy)damn hard keeping the bastard straight though. had a goate for about 10 years now only shaved it off once(x-gfriends insistance)now that left me with one sore chin and acording to my friends looking like a zombi(top half of me face was tanned, chin cheeks and lip pale corpse coloured), never again they'll bury me with my goate now....
god I dribble sometimes pity it cant be about something interesting...

A decent goatee is a contradiction in terms. Me I got rid of my beard at 22 and it`s never coming back. Devon`s Daddy is right!

smoothly yours,

I personally have a sporadic goatee, which starts to look like rogue pubes when it gets too long.

I call it a sporadic one as there is no hair to connect the chinny bit to the moustach, they are two seperate entities, forever wanting to be together - forever shall they be apart.

Beards rule!

I just can't find the recharge cable for my razor.

we probably need a poll, but i'm betting that the percentage of goaties to smoothies amid the 2k reading population is disproportionately (woo what a long word ?!) large compared to the general populace.

an anomoly, just like all firemen are better looking.

What's wrong with beards? I happen to find them strangeley alluring.

Hhhmm, I need a shave. Thanks for reminding me.

I've got a goatee *and* a girlfriend. Does this make me some kind of freak of nature?

Am i the only bloke here who has facial hair that looks like pubes?

Wul (definately not a dick-head!)

Goatee's rule!

just NEVER EVER EVER go to moustash land.

But a beard without a moustache is... Is... A Jazz beard! Or worse a folk musicians beard! Its unthinkable! And wrong!

A beard without a 'tache is a chinstrap for your hair. Not too good at growing beards, me. I just look as though I always need a shave.

Youthful and smoothie Jake.

I think Bou means a moustache on it's own, Art. During the shaving off of my goatee once, I left the 'tache  to see what it'd look like. I laughed so much, I'm lucky I didn't knock myself out on the edge of the sink.

Moustache on its own=Wrongwrongwrongwrongwrong.

I've got a goatee *and* a girlfriend. Does this make me some kind of freak of nature?

Not unless your girlfriend has facial hair (Im avoiding the use of the word beard here) :)

Personally, facial hair is a genetic throwback to the apes, weve come a long way sice we sat in trees.  Razors are hihly recommended.

Yer Slips

Even an "El Presidente"?

I agree that moustaches are utterly evil, but what about handlebar moustaches? And the kind that Seth in Emmerdale sports?
Surely those moustaches are worthy of coolness?


Woo-definately never had a moustace on its own-lly.

And of course the "El Bandito"...

i only shave every few days as the stubble makes me look less feminine and i need to be more 'macho man', but beards...mmm

i was talking to a guy in the pub at the weekend with masses of hair and beard ( zz top ) and he was a great guy but everyone else was 'odd bloke that is', social pressure eh kiddies

i have had a beard.
now and then its nice not to shave for days on end,but in the end the G/F and now wife put the pressure on.
im a man and im weak when it comes to sexaul blackmail. what can i say.

to be honest they can look good.im just jealous.

There's a fine line between beards and looking like a tramp. I, of course, have crossed this line on many an occasion.

hmmm El bandito is good.

moustash by itself, evil.

beardy without moustash abomination of nature.

also, ikkle bits of fluff artfully left on face, you know wee tufts here & there, they do not say, i'm a cool skater surfer man, they say i'm a vein nacissistic twat whos a slave to fashion. and little lines, like pencil cartoon goatie? whats that all about ?

look to aragorn men, he knows what looking like a REAL MAN is all about.

Beards eh? Well that's something i know a suprising amount about. I spent a good 30 mins on NYE plaiting my best mate's 'system of a goatee' into a Jack Sparrow special, Beads an all! The dozy drunkard takes 10 mins to lose the beads. grrrr!
Anyways, the reason i mention this is because the same best bud is also the founder of the Annual January Beard Competetion. Basically, have a shave on NYE, and gather in a pub on 31st Jan for beer and prizegiving. Categories include beard most likely to conceal an explosive device, the bumfluff award and the girls-only armpit challenge. I kid u not.
If anyone wants to join in this tradition, either e-mail me a pic of your relevant hairy bits, or post one here at the end of the month, and we'll include u in the contest. I'll try an put the finalists here too. Prizes are usually decided on in the last week of jan, but they're usually good. Promise. Get growing!

Mine looks good-ish for a few days then begins to turn ginger from my normal dark brown hair colour  

Mine too. Especially if the sun hits it just right. Shudder.
