To Shave or Not to Shave

They're normally out, aren't they? If yours is in, you'll probably need surgery.

As somebody who buys their ill-fitting clothes at jumble sales, I am always at least 3 years behind trend and not really qualified to comment. Whether or not beards look good depends on what type of face you have.

And who you are kissing, and their preference.

Personally, a beard, kept well, is usually sexy (think Aragorn). Nothing worse than lips sandpapered off by somebody's stubble!

Shave? What's that?

They're in for me: 23 and a half years of shaving every morning - 'or it's the glass-house for you sonny!' means I've have a fetching little goatee. It makes you want to fetch up, that is!

I think my unfortunate perception of beards will be forever coloured by Douglas Adams, Meaning of Liff

SCETHROG (n.)

One of those peculiar beards-without-moustaches worn by religious Belgians and American scientists which help them look like trolls.

It's not an easy vision to shake

God good, IMAGINE a beard without a moustache!! Eurgh!

Douglas Adams = genius! I love him!

Gah! Sometimes I wish that I could grow a beard! If I were a man, I would have an excellent beard!

I look weird without any facial hair-almost ghost like. A full-on beard is not allowed but good wholesome stubbly stuff works every time.

Jennifer, I'm sure a beard would work so very well for you.

A beard makes me look ten years older, which is fine when I want to buy glue or get served in the pub, but not so good when I want to be sat by a babysitter.

Ever since I met this man I have wanted to grow a beard. Unfortunately whenever I try I just end up with a scratchy ginger thing that makes me look like a German backpacker.

Recently I've been denied permission anyway (my mistake was in asking for it).

I think I'm better with a few days growth, her indoors agrees, action wise.... it's a NO, but I've never been allowed to grow a full beard.

Thank you, Francis, I am sure a beard would suit me too!

What's this about 'permission' and 'being allowed', boys?! Hmm?

I would never allow a man to dictate to me on growing/shaving any sort of hair, and certainly wouldn't dream of restricting a partner's err... hairy choices!

Some of us don't have choices. Enough hirsutism I say.

beards are excellent

Really Martin! That's a bit like saying; 'I dig shovels'. :/

There is also a lot to be said for the smoothness of a lovely bald pate, infinitely strokable....
