Facial hair?

Post by thekinetic »

So who sports some here? What? An reason why?

I don't at the moment but sometimes I grow a mustache/patch combo I heard called the "zappa" somewhere. I would love to sport a handlebar but just can't grow a bushy enough mustache. :shrug:

We're really reaching for that rifle, aren't we? lol

Sometimes I do the "Zappa" thing, some times I rock the mutton chops, sometimes a soul patch.

I found a drug store, recently, that sells mustache wax, so I utilize that on occasion.

Every Christmas, I shave my whole face, with exception of some mild sideburns, because it pleases my mother and grandmother.

Basically, I get bored looking at the same thing in the mirror every day, so my arrangement of facial hair changes every few weeks.

Unfortunately do to my employer I have to remain clean shaven. However over the weekends, leave, or any chance I get I grow out the scruffs. Back in the day I had a nice chin piece I grew out that I called "the goat". Partly cuz it looked like a billy goat, and partly because I couldn't grow an entire goatie :clap:

Currently clean shaven, but more often than not, I will have some sort of facial hair. The configuration I had last was what I call the Doctor Quest.

I sport a full beard during the cold months. In the spring I like to keep it clean to make it cooler...or at least I feel cooler. :)

No I'm not reaching for that rifle at all.......:3

I can't say I have ever tried to grow a full beard, mostly because every time I grow facial hair I get to hear "you got some fungus on your face" or something to that effect by my family.....which gets really old really fast! :machinegun:

Yeah, took my kids some getting used to when I first went full on too. They have grown to love it though, and when it starts getting cool weather they are the ones that start asking me when I am going to let it grow out. :) They like the Santa look I guess. lol

If I tried growing out a full beard, I'd end up looking like Joe Dirt (minus the sweet, sweet mullet).

Lol, my niece would love it if I did the santa thing. But I've got tot imagine that beards are really itchy because I grew a goatee once and it freaking itched me half to death until I gave up and shaved it.

Full beard here. Had it since high school. Found that shaving and a helmet strap from football cause of lot of irritation to my face. Kept it short in HS, but let it grow out a bit later on. Since HS I shaved it off twice, once for some medical procedure and once before I married the wife, just so she could see what was underneath. The one thing that was funny was that my daughter when she was small refused to come to my father in law when he visited, I think she thought proper men should have beards.

That Dr.Quest look is cool and it gives you a great Halloween costume possibility.

I'm showing a full beard right now and I'm ready for winter. That "second week itch" when growing the beard is a pain, but once you get past that you're free. :wink:

Stubble.

I don't like being clean-shaven (unless someone's getting married or buried, no razors are coming near my face) and I don't like beards (itchy and it'd look all scraggly and Joe Dirt-y). So stubble is the happy medium. I have backups to my backups when it comes to beard trimmers - awesome inventions, wish I'd gotten one in high school/college. Plus it makes me look scuzzy and disreputable, so people leave me alone.

I've got migratory hair - it's moving from the top of my head to my ears and nostrils...

A revolting development to say the least :wheelchair:
