Beards...

[toubab]

I've had a full beard for so long I can't remember exactly how long. After being clean-shaven to early to mid thirties, I went with mustache and goatee for a while, but decided to go the full route for some reason, and stuck with it.

The Goatee is the GED of facial hair.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH

I'm just too damn busy to shave.

Right? Its such a pain in the ass to be clean shaven. Totally not worth my effort. Even if I shave in the summer (which didn't happen this year) I sstill only get around to shaving about 1-2 times a week.

Check this guy out- it's THE look in London. The car's total shite though...

London is looking like Brooklyn...

A few years after I shaved my head, it became common, so I attempted to grow my hair back, only to find that the friar tuck look did not suit me.

I had a goatee until they became ubiquitous.

Everyone in society desperately tries to individuate themselves in exactly the same herd-friendly way.

I came home one day to my then 13-year old and his little skater friends were all wearing little skater beanies like their skater heroes. Not that silly until you consider it was 115 degrees outside.

In the town I live in I am one of maybe 5 people male or female without tattoos.

Humans are herd animals. Marketers and fashionistas count on that.

Plus, I hid all your razors because beards make me hot.

I think Nicole Kidman made a very attractive beard.

I like the rugged look. I prefer beards.

I have a beard. I have had a beard for a long time. I will have my beard long after the hipsters and twee folk have deemed it passé. When your beard is as rugged as mine, it becomes more of an obligation to society.

Had a full beard since I could grow one. Except for short stint in military. Went to a small goatee to pass respirator fitting at work. You must be clean shaven to work around dangerous chemicals or biological agents. As an apprentice sheet metal worker, I got out of having to install a fumehood on a hot university research lab rooftop because I had a beard. My journeyman was pissed. He had to wear all the protective gear. A bad scar on my chin ruined the goatee, so I went to a moustache. It varies from a Lanny MacDonald to a close trimmed one.

If you have a beard, use lots of conditioner on it. Beard is pubic hair not head hair. Girls may go from saying it tickles or scratches to ooh warm and fuzzy. If it is not too coarse.
