How Many of Y'all Are Bearded?

This will mostly apply to men, but everyone is welcome! biggrin

1) Full beard? Stubble? Moustache? Goatee?

2) What colour?

3) What are the best and worst things about being bearded?

4) What do you do with your beard? Do you allow someone else to touch it?

full lips, freckles, and upturned nose

I've had a beard about 3-4 years now. I'll never shave again. I love having a beard and the boys riding my face love it, too.

I take care of it. I don't shampoo it every day, but I brush it (Boar's hair brush is best, and you can find one at Sally's; Walmart might too), and at least wet it in the shower every day.

I deep condition it once a week. I use coconut oil in it almost every day, and always after I shampoo it. Sometimes I add some argan oil to it. A little argan goes a long way, btw. Over-shampooing it can make it dry.

I've also use good beard balms I got on the market. There are a lot of indie companies that make a good balm for around $12 for a 2oz container. It's a fair price. I used to use one that had stout and coffee in it. God it smelled like heaven.

I have one with mica in it, which basically looks like I have glitter in my beard. It's environmentally friendly and makes for a good joke when someone says "You have glitter in your beard," and I respond, "I blew a clown on the way over." Coconut oil usually does the trick, though.

Being a former hairstylist, I do color my beard (Clairol 4NN or 35G with 30 or 40 volume, 45 minutes). I'll be 50 in March, but I really don't have wrinkles on my face, I stay moisturized around the eyes with Burt's Bees almond & milk hand cream. I don't smoke either, so it has kept my skin relatively decent (aside from acne scaring as a kid, but Lush combats that). My beard is almost all gray, and I just refuse to be gray at a mere 50 years old.

Worst thing: eating chicken wings or soup

Best thing: sex; that knowing look at other bearded guys like "we rock, amiiright?"

No one's asked to touch it randomly. It's not as glorious as others I've seen.

My beard and skin aren't perfect, but I do my best to take care of them.

When my stubble gets to a certain length it gets itchy and irritating, so I've never gone for the beard look. Most I've done is grow a goatee for a Tony Stark fancy dress outfit once biggrin

Even if I could I'm not sure I would though. So many guys out there with the beard look at the moment, and I swear half of them have done it just because its the fashionable thing to have right now.

I've got a friend who drums in a band and has had his beard for years now. As soon as the hipsters started doing the beard thing he was properly p*ssed off as everyone assumed he'd done the same!

i wear a full beard in the winter to keep my face warm.

i keep it trim, but sometimes let it take different shapes.

it is the color that it is.

the best thing about my beard is that it keeps my face warm. the worst thing about my beard is this one hair that grows at the corner of my mouth that has to be constantly trimmed so as to not become annoying.

the best thing i do with my beard is shave it off, usually around the end of april.

i'm leary of people with such poor social graces as to want to touch anything growing on my face.

Not bearded.

I don't like this stupid beard trend either. And it's not just white guys. This beard trend went everywhere. It's sadly even affected Chris hemsworth in the new marvel trailer. True he had a beard before but it wasn't with the trendy cut ands dye.

Even that jack@$$ Jimmy Kimmel put on one. I think it started with Mo-Vember and diss around college kids. It's made for a lot of clone looking people.

I am not bearded and therefore cannot answer your questions. I am definitely a live-and-let-live kind of guy, but I do have to share one beard-related opinion:

If you have a beard but do not have a mustache, you look funny. You look like a doofus. I don't want to offend you, but someone needs to be honest with you. it doesn't work. Women laugh at you; men point at you behind your back.

I know the beard-with-no-mustache is currently a trend, and I know lots of Millenials are doing it, but I have to tell you that there is only one person in all of history who could wear a beard without a mustache and it is this guy:





Unless you look EXACTLY like him AND are you playing him in a play or movie, then take my advice and grow a mustache to go along with your bitchin' beard.

^Even worse, it makes you look like a jihadist!
As for me, I don't like a full beard, it itches, but I don't like to shave every day either, so I'm a bit like Dave T.

That's the worst thing anyone has said here in a minute. A beard makes someone look like a jihadist? Do you even hear yourself speaking? But hey, if all bearded guys are trying to blow up children, let's review how many of the 9/11 hijackers, who had declared jihad on America, had beards.



Sit down.

Some Islamic schools recommend men to grow beards without moustaches, but not all Muslim men wear them like that.

And not all men with a beard, in general, look like a terrorist. That's my point.

I don't have a beard - but I've been a beard. Does that count?

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.
