jeremy c Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Mine's coming off sometime this winter when I start losing my tan. However, since I swim outdoors every day at noon, I might not lose my tan. Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenfxj Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I'm Swedish and generally speaking us Swedes don't grow very good looking beards, very patchy (remember Björn Borg ?) As a result I've been clean shaven my entire life. Damn thing would be white by now anyway. The trade-off is that at 53 years old I can usually get away with shaving only two or three times a week. I shaved this evening (Sunday) and I should be fine for my networking meeting Tuesday morning. Push the button Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard W Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 At the risk of sounding vain, keeping a clean shaven face makes me look younger. The beard, when I've grown one on vacations, is very salt-and-pepper. So is my head, but somehow all that white on my face makes me look older.

Danzilla Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I've had a mustache for decades, and small beard on and off for the last 10 years. I'm growing a full beard (all across the sides/cheeks) since I'm playing a Santa Clause in a community theater production over the next couple of weeks. I used to think I was too gray; now I realize I'm not gray enough for the part. So I'll be powdering it look more "Santa-ish". When the show is over, my wife will be very happy to have me to shave. Of course, now maybe I'll shave the beard & 'stache, but keep the muttonchops. Just to drive her crazy.

5 string Mike Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 It would be nice to only have to shave once every week or few days at least.. I can shave in the Am and have the '5 o'clock shadow" by about 2:30 PM... and its' not a shadow, it's a stinkin' eclipse... OK, maybe not that bad, but I can sculpt about any kind of facial hair style I want and change it within a week. My wife doesn't like it. In the winter, I can put on a thick full beard within 7 days if I wanted to. I might do one for winter- I sometimes do. It's all scraggly looking though. If I don't keep it trimmed short, it looks all Bushman. However, I have had a goatee for about the last 10 years or so. My wife is ok with that.

Tom Capasso Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I had a beard from 1975 to 2005 (almost to the day). Every woman - I mean every woman - told me I looked younger without it. Shaving is painful - been to too many barbers and fancy shave places - I'm always told my skin is too sensitive and my hair is too tough. I let it go a bit, and my girlfriend liked it. I decided I liked it, so I've had a beard for a few months. it is much whiter than it was in 2005, but that's the way it goes. I keep it trimmed, and it never bothers me. www.stoneflyrocks.com Acoustic Color Be practical as well as generous in your ideals.

Call me whipped, but my significant other does not like it when I go a few days without shaving. I tend to shave every other day, mostly. Never had a full beard, mustache or the likes.

Eric VB Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 My take is that beards are for making young guys look older. For example, Cole Vosbury (The Voice). He is 22. http://www.nbc.com/the-voice/artists/images/artists/cole-vosbury.png I've done the "goatee" (Van Dyke) or had just a moustache for most of my 20s and 30s. I went clean before it went grey.

I think facial hair on men can be attractive. I'm especially partial to the Van Dyke or even the occasional soul patch. But a giant, untamed mass of chin/neck fur like this young dude is sporting pretty much grosses me out. I could barely stand to watch the World Series this year, what with all the egregiously unkempt beards. Yuk.

b5pilot Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Shoot, I've had a beard or some form of facial hair for most of my adult life. I usually keep it well trimmed though. I already push the limit at work with a foot long ponytail so if I came in looking like a shorter, pudgier, (and obviously much less talented) version of Leland Sklar that would probably be a bit too much for those clean cut mechanical engineers.

picker Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I had a beard for most of the last two years, but I recently shaved it off. I'm told I look ten years younger.
