Its time to showcase your facial hair TTH! let me see dim pretty mugs,

I'm completely convinced that you grew that piercing in with your beard.

Anyhoo, my experiences with beard-growing have been spotty at best. For whatever reason, certain patches just refuse to grow in. I was hoping to have a full beard in before I hit 30, but at this rate I doubt that'll be the case.

Pre-facial hair (circa 2001), as I conjure my magical Wall of Garbage:


The Chinhawk - the mohawk I wore on my chin (circa 2006):

(I swear I will regrow my hair as soon as I don't need a real job anymore.)

Fisher-Price's "My First Goatee" - acceptable enough for Sales without catching too much flak. (2011):


I don't have any more current pics than that, but it's about the same these days.

All hail beards!

I think you all should shave them off... Beards are only used to hide your face. You guys looked better without them.

[Lanesend]

Nah. We have beards/mustaches to "enhance" the beauty that is us.

I'll see if I have some recent pics this evening.

I usually have a beard, but very short and very well trimmed and stuff.
At some stage I wanted to try the "classic" shaving knife (you know - the ones that fold up ^^) and O M G I would never, ever go back.
I tend to play around with cutting certain parts off while leaving other for say 2-6 months and then I change it again...
(As I am browsing through my phone because I don't have internet yet, I can't be bothered uploading pics)

^ I have no idea what that means Polly. I suppose it could swing either way. I am not American, so have no context why he is clapping.

In America, we use applause as a sign of approval.

If I go clean-shaven, I look like I'm 16. With a beard I look closer to 23. I'm not near either of these numbers, but at least the facial hair helps.

Beards rule and attract non-square, active chicks as a bonus, but the bay area is pretty "progressive" too. When I was clean shaven the women that gave me compliments/hit on me were generally more average clean-cut chicks who probably listen to the radio and watch tv, and beards are (please do not swear) metal. Yeah, I swore, but that's metal too. I get compliments nearly every day for mine, mostly women which my girlfriend, luckily, doesn't mind. I also find women generally start liking beards more in the mid 20s, I'm guessing it's because young girls are used to teenie boy faces haha. Beards also proclaim, "I do whatever the hell I want.". That's man stuff.

For those with patchy growth, let everything grow for a few weeks. Everything. Then look in the mirror and find a pattern in what does grow. Shave off the rest, let the compliments roll in. Worked for me.



After writing this, I happen to see the tv show thread started by beardhater polyclops hahaha! I'm telling you guys, it's true!

For the beard haters, whyre you coming in a beard thread to hate on beards? Bit childish, if you don't have anything nice to say . . .

[Overread]

Only those who can't grow their own grow jealous of the mighty bearded ones!!!

One only has to look at the long list of great people who have mighty beards:

Gandulf - bearded!
Riker - bearded (star trek)
CHUCK NORRIS! - bearded!
Barbosa - Bearded!
Jack Sparrow - Bearded!


I rest my case - the beard is mighty!!!!



Now if you want to hide - a scarf is for that

Enough talk, show the beards!

I'd hate to appear childish- lets just stick to name calling then, right?

I'm "square" because I don't like someones hair all up in my face when I'm trying to kiss them? That's about as close minded as thinking all girls that like beards like metal. I'm a comedian. Not only that, but I'm pretty foul too. Dead & Totally Not A Bot can vouch for that. Reload and take another shot- because you missed completely the 1st time. All I said was I didn't like beards. I didn't go around judging anybody based on their Beard preference. You personally, I will judge. You are close minded and seem to think your beard determines who you are. Your actions determine that & so far I don't like what I've seen.

Calm down people, it's just beards.



I've not been able to grow a decent beard in a while, and added hair loss means I'm sort of going the shaven headed all over route. This is the best I've managed, really, and it's a few years back. Any longer and it becomes weird and wiry.
