Popeman38 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 After 8 years of shaving everyday in the Army, I refuse to shave everyday. The wife hates it, but I figure I shaved enough in 8 years to make up for the next 30 at least! I keep it to the shortest attachment included in the trimmer, trimmed twice a week.

wshngtn1 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I have a goatee to cover up my John Travolta looking butt crack chin. http://www.popstarsplus.com/images/JohnTravoltaPicture.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Is this awesome and manly to you? Not a full-on beard (though he has had one), this was when it was at its worst (in my opinion). This is what got him tons of compliments from dudes: That looks like one of my vacuum cleaner attachment brushes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my boyfriend's take. A bunch of his former marine friends all have beards....like crazy beards. I'm glad he got rid of his beard, and right now it's a really short goatee, but I always tell him I want "marine dennis" facial hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissU28 Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 That looks like one of my vacuum cleaner attachment brushes. I think he kinda grew it as a joke just to see how long he could grow it.... half of his friends loved it, half of them gave him **** for it. Thankfully he shaved it off before he flew out with me to VA to stay with my mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her: Yeah, you try shaving your pits and legs and see how it feels. Me: I ain't European. Now, imagine how much more irritated you face would be if you dragged a blade across it every single day. Her: I still don't like you with a beard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetoaster Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Haha wow thats crazy....im the EXACT same way. What background do you have? I am pretty similar. My hair is brown, my sideburns are reddish and my goatee is kinda brown with blonde in the middle. People used to ask me if I bleached it. And as for why I have facial hair, I just think it looks good on me and I look like I am 18 without it. I grew out the ridiculous goatees for a while in college and shortly afterwards, but I never let it get too out of control now. But I think I will have some sort of facial hair for a long time.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Yeah, goatees are pretty played out. If it were the late-1990s, it'd be cool. A full beard is dope though. If he grows his beard back, you should cook for him each and every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I'm just as old...I was trying to describe goatees with lingo that was appropriate for them (circa 1998). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Paint Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 For those who hate to shave everyday, just get an electric razor. It's a super fast shave. It doesn't shave as close as a blade, but it does a good job. It takes like 1 minute to shave your face with an electric razor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shave hurts, is uneven and looks like you didn't shave at all. I'll never go back to an electric. I sometimes rock the shadow but never a full on beard. I've made that mistake before. But I have to shave pretty much everyday if I don't want to rock a shadow so that's why I do it. Also count me in the club of brown on top, redish hair on my chin and dark dark brown everywhere else haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Pressure Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Personally, I have always had bad skin and I carried some random bits of acne here and there into adulthood. I may have nothing on my face, or I may have 2 or 3 different spots on a given day. Have you ever tried to shave acne? It's a lot easier to just let the beard go.

#98QBKiller Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I've always had a goatee but my girlfriend loves beards and her birthday is this week so I grew out a beard...I'll be shaving it down to a goat after this weekend, a full beard is too itchy.

There's an itchy stage to growing one when the hairs curl back and poke you, but if you let it go you'll get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true too, I've never grown a full beard out long enough to get to the soft stage though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a few times to get used to it, but if you have a nice quality electric shaver, it does the job well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also used a couple other Brauns and other models. Electrics don't work for everyone especially people that would normally need to shave about everyday. Electrics worked great in HS but by the time college came around ... only a manual razor would get a good shave that didn't destroy my face.

War Paint Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Spoken like a man who doesn't need to shave everyday. I have to shave everyday because I grow facial hair fast. If I skip a day, which I rarely do, electric razors do kind of hurt when used on longer facial hair. It doesn't hurt at all on stubble. But to each their own. I find facial hair pretty gross and there has been studies that show microscopic germs and bacteria that accumulates in men's facial hair. I feel sorry for girls who have to kiss their man through a thick beard. To them, it's probably the same feeling us guys get when a woman doesn't shave her legs or arm pits. It's a turn off. It's pretty funny when you see fat guys grow facial hair in attempts to hide their double chin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bay Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I'm also lazy. That and I like the way it looks on me, as does my wife. I look about 10 years younger when I have no beard, though that may be different now that my waist line has expanded (the glory of marriage and good food!). Also, it makes a nice difference in winter, but it never seems to bug me in the summer. Kind of interesting how that works out. I don't let it grow uncontrollably, though, I do keep it trimmed.

SauzzBozz Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 im all about the full beard sans the neck. it just gets to itchy but I havent had a clean shaven face in about a year now (since i left my recruiting job). Its consistently buzzed at about a 3 or 4. Perfect length for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsburySkinsFan Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 MissU and the Sasquatch That's a crazy goatee, I've never been a fan of facial hair although I tried the goatee thing for awhile and I looked more like Dartanian than anything...I can't stand the way they feel and neither can my wife...I'll say no more.
