Beards
 

So I am looking for a little advice on the facial hair... I have long bounced between the goatee and clean shaven. I have never NEVER liked the mustache. I have tried the beard before, but I was never satisfied.

I am trying again, but I suspect that my problem is that I let it get too long, or I don't know how to properly groom the beard. I am going to keep it closely trimmed this time and see how it goes.

Just curious what everyone thinks of beard grooming.

Well 103% of the members of ChiefsPlanets officially endorse the goatee...

Personally, I have the "I haven't shaved in 2 days" look, basically because I haven't....

A BEARD? the only people I know that still wear beards are old men(50+) and my dad.....wait...I think there is a connection:p :LOL:

Frazod keeps his goatee neatly trimmed.

It used to be that I just got it trimmed when I went for a haircut (yes, the ones on the side still grow :grr: ), so it would tend to get a bit scraggly between visits. But when I moved to the burbs, I found that the "stylists" charge extra for beard trimming.

Imagine that - I'm a friggin bald man who just wants a crew cut, It takes them about 45 seconds to do it, and then they have the fucking gall to charge me EXTRA TO TRIM MY fuckING BEARD.

:cuss:

In the time it take for the "stylist" :grr: to give some hairy-ass mullethead a haircut, they could have done me about 50 times. But God forbid they trim that beard without sticking me for an extra $5.... That is just WRONG!

:cuss:

So I got a trimmer and do the damn thing myself, about once a week.

I miss barbers. "Stylists" SUCK... :#

Brad has a fuggen power patch....:evil:

Ah yes, the soul patch also commonly referred to as the flavor saver. ;)

I think beards are a matter of mood and taste. I've had everything from a mountain man beard (college - early 80s), full beard (first job - late 80s), very closely trimmed beard (at least thrice since the late 80s), and clean-shaven (most points in between). I think they were all "right for the time." I look reeruned if I'm only wearing a moustache, so I've never gone that route other than a short experiment in late college.

I accidentally took off a chunk of my beard in a trimming accident last year, so I was clean-shaven until about 3 months ago when my wife demanded that I grow it back. I now sport "the Abe Lincoln/Amish Farmer" look - mid-length beard with no moustache, and I think I'm pretty darn cool.

I miss the beard, but being on the fire dept and needing at a moment's notice to put on an airpack and face mask prevents the beard. Used to shave the final time on the first sunday in sept and didn't shave it off until march or april. I don't go for that Kurt Warner, I haven't shaved in 3 days look. I liked mine trimmed, but wanteda decent cover.

If you don't like the mustache, go for the Amish look - beard but no mustache. It will turn a few heads, but doesn't look too bad.

KOY DETMER STYLE!

I'm against beards on women, and I don't care how closely trimmed...

I don't mean to be obstinent about it, that's just the way I am.

If you go with a beard, you've gotta keep it really, really trimmed. The outline beard is the best way to go.

Unless you're not trying to get any so if that's the case, let it go.

Does anybody actually have a mustache anymore?

That just isn't cool.

I've got a mustache and it's a damn fine mustache. I think it looks goofy as hell to have a beard without a mustache!:D

Really it depends on your face type and body type. Pretty hard to make a recommendation not knowing that.

this is true, but I must chime in that I, being a female, absolutely love the few days growth, rugged look on guys- I haven't seen one yet that I didn't think was so sexy... but that's just me o:-)

Full beard starting on the first day of autumn, shaved off the first day of spring. Close to the face and trimmed once a week.
