Beards

That’s a good look @lifeintheslowlane , finger-licking good.

Surely as your classic car is a Beetle, a more appropriate costume would have been to wear a plain, dark military tunic whilst you balanced a short black slug on your top lip?

For years I didn’t grow a beard because it had ginger flecks (Irish parents) and now I don’t grow one because it’s completely grey.

I often let it grow over holiday periods but as you say, @captaintim , i can’t get past the itchy stage.

Ah…if only I had a Beetle. Anyway I’ve stopped taking fashion advice from you since you told me a beige mid-calf sock was a good look with sandals. :lou_eyes_to_sky:

I think you’re right Ms Grandee. I’ve eschewed the obvious ageing rock-star roles despite being stopped in the street and asked to sign autographs. I have a friend who regularly stars (in a small way) in Poldark as an extra; sitting in the corner of a dark Beer House adding “local colour”. That’s how I see my future…ageing eccentric rather than advertising icon.

I’ve pretty much constantly had a beard since I could grow one.

Mostly to hide the fact I lack a jaw or chin.

A bit of “couldn’t be arsed to shave for a few days” stubble is fine.

Full beards? Fuck off.

Weirdos.

I beard on and off. Mostly to prove that if you shave once a fortnight it’s just stubble. I keep my stubble to grade two, a few days growth. Bearding takes either dedication or negligence.

Other than my aforementioned vanity/insecurity, I’m also a bit lazy. So kind of fall into that latter category.

Always on a Sunday - and i dont even shave properly, just use the trimmers on the shaver.

I don’t beard - though I go for the negligent approach at weekends and holidays.

I consider myself to be one of those who can’t carry off a beard. After a weekend I resemble a tramp. A couple of weeks and I have the start of a good father Christmas :santa:

Tootal?

A splendid sight you look too, i wager. I have to confess attempts to grow a beard meet with derision whenever i have attempted to grow one, so i am jealous. But sometimes i go ‘downstairs for lunch’ and ‘don the beard’. Does that count?

I have a beard, for many reasons, but mainly because I’m so fucking cool it hurts.

I haven’t been clean shaven for pushing 20 years. But I’m not a raging beardsm’n either. I oscillate between a few week’s growth and a grade 1 clip. Always been a fascinating tortoiseshell of colour, but with an ever expanding pair of white patches either side of the chin.

Shaving really is for chumps.
