|
|
And not simply a full, fuck off beard...but a sculpted piece of gristle on ones face?
I have the feeling that a 5 O Clock shadow every day of the year is sexy...and I strive for this. _________________

Personally, I love beards and face hair all together!
I like to play with them. |

I have a beard that I try to keep at a nice cropped length. You know, not too long not too short. Having to keep my neck shaven is kind of a pain though, as part of the reason for growing the beard in the first place was that I wouldn't have to shave as often. _________________

My stance is clear:
I have gotten the idea into my head that I have an ugly chin. But I am not sure, really, since I've not shaved it all off since, what, 16? Even if I shaved it, then I'd look strange(r) with the long hair. _________________

About two days before I turn into Hugh Laurie, I shave to a silky smooth. I even have my own brush and soap for shaving. Then I let it grow again. I like having that gritty, few days since last shaven, type of facial hair. The reason I remove it at all is because, despite regularly cleaning it, it turns too greasy for my taste. Once my face starts sliding across the pillow while I sleep, off with it.
I tried the Van Dyke back last summer. It was kinda cool, in that it looked good, but again, slip and sliding disaster. _________________

Thats what I have...but I dont know how to keep it short, yet still there! _________________

I have a beard that I don't maintain at all.
Perhaps this is what you call a "fuck off" beard.
I'm really lazy, see. I limit my grooming to what is absolutely necessary to not smell terrible.
I guess "at all" is a bit harsh. Every few months I even it out slightly so as to not look entirely homeless. My beard is very stiff, and without this I will have hairs sticking out at wild and crazy angles all the time. _________________

I had a dream where I was camping in a desolate region of Patagonia, wearing an orange jacket, sporting a rugged beard. I will make it reality. _________________

I try to shave at least once or twice a week, nowadays. Used to be I'd wait two, maybe three weeks.
Fact of the matter is, I just don't got enough of it goin' on to justify not shaving.
I do enjoy that Hugh Laurie stubbliness though. It gives me something to stroke while deep in thought. [lol] _________________ o-/< --- o-\< --- o-|-| --- o^-< |

No they aren't.
Facial hair can be really pimp, man.
But it doesn't look right for everybody, of course.
If somebody is going to go for a full-on beard, they should probably be sort of rugged looking already.
I'm currently planning a revolution in facial hair, actually. I'll show you guys pictures once it's ready. |

I had a beard for the past three years, but sometime in January I decided to get rid of it, so I did. I don't really feel that I want to grow it back at the moment, so gone it stays. _________________ Taking a break. |

I sometimes threaten to shave my hair into a 2' mohawk, grow the most massive neckbeard that I possibly can, and shave my eyebrows. _________________

The last time I shaved was because I burnt part of my beard terribly, one and a half years ago.
Then I looked twelve.
People tell me I should shave my head because my hairline is receding so early. Sometimes I'm tempted, but I already have enough people think I'm some terrible thug on first meeting. _________________

Last week, when trying to explain to the secretary why neckbeards suck, I put it like this:
You will see men with just mustaches, or just goatees, or soul patches, or just sideburns, or lamb chops; you will see men with sideburns connected to goatees or what have you; you will even see, sometimes, unreasonably good-looking French men with sweater-like rugged and prolific stubble reaching impossibly from the bottoms of their eyes to the tops of their chests -- however, you will never see a man with just a turtle-neckbeard.
The reason is, because that would be creepy as shit.
I hate having stubble on my neck. If you ask me, the bottom of the chin should be the cutoff point. I went to a laser clinic for consultation -- the place has an ad on the subway that says they can permanently destroy the hair follicles in both armpits (for girls) for just $300. They started talking bitchy logistics about my neck stubble. They said they'd have to laser around the whole neck and it would probably end up costing more than armpits. They said there's more skin on my neck, probably, than on most Japanese girls' two armpits combined. Am I supposed to be proud of something like that?
It's not like I have copious furious neckbeard or anything, though yeah, it's just kind of obnoxious; the neck is the only part I can never shave fully, and it always ends up red as hell no matter what temperature of water I'm using. I asked my girl/friend to wax it for me, her being proficient with that shit (if you know what I mean), and she said she was afraid it'd rip the thin skin off and expose the hell out of my voice box, and I asked her what kind of fuckin' wax she was using and she said, "It's pretty hot."
Man, I don't know how much it'd cost, though it can't be any more than the shame I pay every day.
Shit. _________________

Yeah, see, that's creepy as shit.
Judging by the tone of that photograph, I'd say that this man existed prior to the invention of color film, meaning that CG animation in summer blockbusters and / or videogames that let you shoot people who look totally real hadn't even occurred as possibilities for speculative conversation. In other words, in this man's era, experimentation with beards was about all one could do for entertainment. It must have taken him many years to grow that disaster; he was a walking example for why others shouldn't do the same. He probably put off shaving it so that cameras could be invented and that photo could be taken and hung up in high school girls' bathrooms for generations to come.

| 108, try a razor with a flexable head for getting at that damn neck fuzz. I tend to use cool water and a steady hand. Also, I have this soothing lotion in case shit gets irritated. Nixes the burn and the redness pretty quickly. |

Also, based upon advice in the last thread about shaving, I have renounced my electric ways and gone back to your standard razor shaving.
Man, I've been missing out. Shaving with an electric for like 4 years makes you forget how smooth a good razor can get you. |

I do have a flexible head on my razor -- I think? I mean, it swivels back and forth. Two directions of flexibility.
I use this nice Nivea skin lotion.
Which direction do you shave neck hair? Up? Down? Horizontally? Diagonally?
Does hot / warm water not work?
This is all so confusing :(
I just need to get it lasered already.

Yeah! I use the Gilette Fusion Power -- five blades and it vibrates!
And it has this "precision trimmer" on the back of the blade, for taking out fine spots. _________________
