I'll admit to having shameful facial hair. I can partially blame it on my age (20), but at the end of the day, it's just a neck beard that's missing some patches. Because of this the most I'll go without cutting it down is 5 days... a week is stretching it. I only use a razor when I absolutely have to. Otherwise I simply use some clippers so it leaves a bit of stubble. It does come in handy for occasions like Halloween when you go as someone with equally bad facial hair. A little bit of black coloring (I'm blonde haired) and silver facepaint and BAM! Wild card, bitches!
Unfortunately for me, all the beard hair above the jaw line is blond, all the beard hair below the jaw line is brown. I'd like to try a beard of some sort (especially in my state of unemployedness), but it looks so god damn silly when you can't even tell I haven't shaved above my jaw.
Yes, I wear glasses, fuck you. Usually I like to keep it a little shorter because women don't like sandpaper rubbing on their face.
I don't know how this thread slipped my gaze earlier, but here is mine. Normally, I would trim it down at around this length, and it is a bit messier now than I prefer, but I haven't had the chance. I'll post a picture when it is in its more typical, slightly longer than stubble phase. Spoiler
A typical Friday night for Indiana, freshening the face rug before I hit the town. Looks like I won't be a 'deal breaker' anymore. Hello boys...
This is me after about 3 days of stubble. It's light but its what I get. My mustache area is always a little more pronounced and darker than the rest for some reason. Yea, I'm smiling. Fuck you. And I didn't blur or crop my face. I don't care, really. I typically shave about once or twice a week. After I shave, it takes a couple days for my face to heal so I have to wait it out. My girlfriend loves the stubble though.
My good friend Mr. Peck would beg to differ. FOCUS: I have no picture to offer, but rather a piece of advice for those who are considering growing a goatee. Just don't. For the love of all that's clean and good and pure in the world, just don't. Sweet leaping Jesus were those a bad couple of years. I found that my sex life, as well as my general mood and well-being improved dramatically after I ditched the flavor-saver. On another note, I once attempted to rock a handlebar moustache that actually got me denied entrance to a bar.
My facial hair started out scraggly and has gradually been getting fuller and denser over the years. It seems to still be in the process of filling out, because its still denser every time I shave it off. Anyway, at least I've got full face coverage and can apparently pull off a pretty good scruffy look according to two different girls I know in real life. Even if missing the vital stache-beard link. This pic is after a few days of no shaving, I wasn't keeping track. Spoiler I pull off killer stubble though, and immediately after that pic I shaved my whole head. Can't keep my hands off my scalp and face now. My camera's too low res to pick up stubble though, so no good pics of that.
To all of you pissed off that you have patches you're just doing it wrong. Do what I do, just put your thumb in your mouth, plug your nose and blow really fucking hard. Once your ears start popping then you're almost there. Don't stop. It's just like play doh barber shop really.
Well, I guess I must be the only one here that rocks a real beard. And I must say, I love it. Men seem to give me more respect in everyday situations. And women seem to love it, every time I go out some chick hits on me (albeit sometimes an ugly one, but hey, beggars cant be choosers). Which is quite the feat for a fat guy.
That's me acting like an idiot, but sporting my usual facial hair. The only problem I have with it is that I don't have any connecting hair between my mustache and beard. There's always this one little gap. Stupid genetics. When I first started sprouting, I just had the mustache, then grew the beard out during a hiking trip. Only several years later did I realize that stand-alone mustaches were (apparently) for pedophiles, porn stars and late 1800s political figures. Whatever, screw the pedophile label, I want to have an "Otto Von Bismarck" one of these days.
Dude, This is awesome. If I saw you in public I'd ask for a mustache ride, and take you home on my velocipede. Question, Do you own a top hat, and how good is your evil laugh?
I think the hat and eyepiece would get in the way when he squares off with Wyatt and Doc in front of the OK Corral. Really, though, that shit is stellar.
Just learn what SYMMETRY means. If you're going to sport a beard, goatee, stache, whatever, learn how to trim it (or get it trimmed) so it doesn't look all lopsided and hacked up.
