Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

If I'm going to shave, I'm going to do the whole thing.
I have a friend with a similar thing.. it may not cover up completely but it will surely shrink.

Just let it go. It will eventually fill in or get covered up.

Also, take a 1000 mcg Biotin supplement.

Wait what.. beard supplements? Do they also cause you to not need brakes?

I'm a full natural beard & moustache no trimming kind of guy. Sadly this has made eating certain foods a challenge: sandwiches, soup, pasta dishes, and I have to drink my coffee with a straw. My long moustache sweeps everything onto my beard like a broom.

Still worth it. Burritos, chicken fingers, french fries are a joy and very hairy face friendly.

I'm sure most of the world has seen this already? Seems appropriate here though.



I'm at stage 3...attaining wizard status has proven to be a frustrating endevour.

I can't ever let my mustache hang over my lip, it drives me crazy. Same with my neck too, which keeps me at an eternal #2 .
