No. Razors fear you.

One of these days I'll grow a proper beard. The wife isn't a fan of beards, so I can grow one as long as I don't try and kiss her... not fair at all I tell ya. I cheat a bit with jaw length sideburns year round and a goatee in the winter. Every now and then I get 4-5 days of stubble going and it drives me nuts, I've never gotten past the "ants all over my face" stage. One of these days.

Dude, keep going. I used homemade coconut oil on my beard when I lived in Alaska. The scratch your face off period will pass.

Keep it lubed and use a brush.

I hate to even put this out there, but... Who is that? I can see that it's off of FX, but I am seriously out of touch with modern television programming.

i had an 86 year old lady complement me on my "pussy beard" (her words) a few years back. said she was always sad her husband couldn't grow one, but she remembered a fellow in college who could...

anyway, i fully appreciated the beard on my ride across philadelphia this morning, snow packed up so dense, i had a beautiful layer of warm air inside. the downfall is the "spring thaw" once you enter a heated building.

In honour by this thread, I haven't shaved the last couple days.

I have to find a pic, but I've enjoyed rocking the beard this winter. Mine comes in all grey in the whiskers. And yes, at my wife's suggestion, shampoo is awesome for the beard.

Nice deconstruction! I had fun with that last year and am looking forward to when it becomes time to let this one go.

Mine is in the process of all falling out. Of course, not on my neck where it hurts like hell to shave. It finally consumed my sideburns and I'm hoping like hell it stops at my ears. I'll find out in another month or so.

What really pisses me off is that now I have to shave every fucking day or else look like I have dirt all over my face. Before this I haven't shaved daily...well...ever.

I had to lose the mustache last night, couldn't stand being stabbed in the face repeatedly. I think it'll improve my mood overall.

I'm not shaving mine unless I have to go to a good job interview.

@ Shifty -- DEAR GODS! The topiary! It's gone!

@ Sisy -- DEAR GODS! Is that what you look like?

What'd you expect, Brad Pitt? Lol...

I'm even smaller in person.

On edit, yes. That's pretty much me, bed head and all. I'm not an overly proud person.

WAFS, you really need a cowboy hat, spurs, and long coat to go along with the topiary.

I don't normally dig facial hair on guys, but that's not half bad looking! Of course, you posted that a month ago, so chances are you've eliminated it by now?

As opposed to on women?

I was watching the Gregory Peck version of Moby Dick a while back and there's a scene with a bearded old woman in it. Nasty.

Sometimes a beard can serve as a social filter, i.e., if someone wouldn't want to deal to me because of it, I wouldn't want to deal with the jerk anyway.....

The Smithsonian needs our help! Pick your favorite Civil War era facial hair. Some truly inspiring sculpting going on with these guys. I might have to try out the Ambrose Burnside next winter.

Oh, that went around about a month ago. I was somewhat surprised they didn't include Raphael Semmes, one of my personal hero/anti-hero types.

I'm letting my beard grow until august. Amon Amarth concert in August.
