Are you a beardie?

[mudskipper]

I have gone for woman with beard. I don't actually have a beard (or not much of one), but look forward to growing one to scare children when I'm an old lady.

I can't grow a good one. The hairs grow relatively fast but clearly I am follically challenged as the hairs are too far apart.

It's a bit annoying really, I get a shadow on my top lip even after a shave but the rest of my face won't join in. So I could grow a moustache but I can't pull it off.

Doesn't surprise anyone - you come across as a bit of a girl.
You need to get out of the closet.

Maybe the women in your life can grow moustaches... maybe I'm just further away from an ape than you

I have about 3-4 weeks growth, I think I'm going to trim it off soon. Any tips?

Yes, there's a tip in Wandsworth;

In the office - clean shaven
WFH - don't shave until I'm going somewhere that requires me to put a (clean) shirt on or it starts annoying me, generally a week's worth

go to a Barbers and have a wet shave, much easier than hacking away and its a pleasant half hour. Round off with a pub lunch and you have had a proper man morning.

Started with a Zapata in 69, grew the full set in 71 and kept it ever since, except that somewhere in the mid-90s it went to the goatee which I still have. It's finally the same colour as my hair again, except it's now white rather than dark brown.

The other irritation is if I grow the full beard again these days it comes out all long and wispy and makes me look even more like a very old and somewhat dyspeptic orang-utan. When I stop working for a living I may well let it grow for a month or two and see what emerges; it doesn't grow fast enough the days to let me experiment before I have to get tidy again! Unusually, SWMBO quite likes the designer stubble look, but I need time to develop it properly

Beards are gross only suitable if you,

1. You are very fat and trying to hide / mask that big old double chin you have grown yourself.
2. You too old to look after yourself or not old but ill and cannot look after yourself.
3. You losing your hair on your head so need to make up for it.
4. Your santa.
5. It movember.

When I see these young guys with big fat beards I just think nob, more so the very trendy dudes who are all smart, tidy haircut but then have this big stupied beards.
