Owing to my unemployed and looking status I opted out so far this year. Hopefully I'll have a chance to get more grizzly before spring. My bandmates are putting me to shame. Anyone else sporting the seasonal scruff?

Ugh, I tried a goatee last winter. Hated it, looked like crap, like pubic hair all over my face.

Seasonal? Sure, yeah, that's it. :p

Well I'm bald year-round. I like the variety.

bf tried to grow a beard. He started on Friday and shaved it off this morning before work. That's as far as he got.

Yeah. The itchy/looks crappy stage is rough.

I've worn at least a goatee since 1990(minus about 2 weeks).

I shaved for a new job in '97, but the boss went on vacation and I grew it back while he was away.

I have tried and failed many times. I can grow a goatee, though-and usually do.

I sometimes get a little friskery by the weekend and have gone a few weeks without shaving this winter... but seem to prefer a cleaner look.

Okay, I'll give you the guy at 2:40, but who's the other one? Those European guys didn't have beards, did they? ;)

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a European guy with a beard. :rolleyes: You know damn well who the other hawt guy is! :p

I've had the goatee for about four months now. I may shave it off when it starts getting cooler.

I have a goatee. My wife wants me to shave, but I look bad ass with it, so she's out of luck.

You're all looking good, guys :) . Mr. East Hill has tried a beard in the past, but it grows in too patchy for his taste, and he always gets rid of it after a couple of days.

Let it grow in the Fall shave in the Spring. Wife likes it, I hate to shave, and keeps the face a little warmer on cold rides:

I keep it trimmed close, but the red still contrast with what little brown hair I have left...

Two weeks worth of facial hair... just before I shaved it off.

I'm not a moustache/beard kind of guy. I'll leave that to the Tom's of the world who can pull it off. Selleck and Stormcrowe.

I usually have a beard all year, and cut my hair rarely (maybe once every 4 or 5 months?). I tend to cut my beard short in the summer. I think I look kinda funny clean-shaven.

It's a little strange, but I have a fair amount of red and even some blond hairs in my beard, although the hair on my head is a dark brown and my eyebrows are pitch black. Somehow it looks alright, though.

I had a goatee for about 9 years. Then all the rednecks here started growing them so I decided it was time to lose it. :D (for the record, I'm not saying that you're a redneck if you have one, I'm just saying that most of them here started wearing them)

How many of us that wear a beard(because we don't like to shave), keep their legs shaved?

Hey, that doesn't look like pubic hair!

Hairy face, furry legs here. ;) I have too much scar tissue for leg shaving and will not wax ;)

True, if it did, there'd be more of it ;) Besides, for the resemblance to be correct, wouldn't he have to be bald on top? :p

Oh, don't be makin' fun of a man's pubic hair. That ain't right.

Well can I at least make fun of a man's ass hair?

I love to let it all grow out and get my scruff on but the wife finds it to scratchy on her kisser and to prickly on the nether regions. As much as I like being a rabble rouser I know which battles to pick and when to go for the close shave and a hint of cologne.

Shadiyah
01-08-08, 07:46 PM
Depends upon whom you're speaking. :p

Oh no one in particualr. ;) I'm not speaking of anyone's ass hair I've seen recently. :p But I'm sure there are some out there that would amuse me.

Scruffy is sexy and a little pickly can be fun!

Secret to a long marriage is......don`t split up.



Secret to a happy marraige is to pick your battles. And pick very few.





A 5-pack of replacement blades is a small price to pay.

So that's the big secret of the Women's Forum. Ass hair discussions.

In the winter I shave once every month. So I have a very thick beard after two weeks of not shaving. I'm the guy who shaves in the morning and gets a 1:00pm shadow.

Use the search before you do. I'm sure such a thread exists. :p

You know that search is always broken! Besides, I really don't think I've ever seen one in the Women's Forum. LOTS of interesting and fun threads, but I don't think there's anything on men's bum hair :D .

On the other hand, there very well could be a men's bum hair thread in Road Cycling...;) .
