Title: so i was thinking about growing a Beard... Post by The Mechanic on Jan 16th, 2015 at 2:16pm
then I read this, so now im convinced that it's the right thing to do.. :)
Yes, for those who don’t know, the first few weeks of growing a manly beard come packaged with some itchiness that can be quite a bother, especially if you are not used to it. I’m here to tell you fellows that the itch is temporary, and that the greatest pleasures in the world await your chin if you only power through the itch Someday, if you have patience, your beard will be soft and downy. On that day, your woman will find comfort in your beard as she nuzzles up to you. When she has a hard day, your beard will be a beard to cry in, absorbing her precious tears. When you become a manly father, your child will find endless fascination with your beard. He’ll grab it, pull it, yank on it, play with it. Power through the pain like you powered through the itch. The boy is just showing his appreciation of your beard. When you join the workforce, all of your coworkers will stand in awe of your beard. Walking into work with a beard instantly gives you command and dignity. Coworkers will flock to you for advice and counsel. You’ll receive promotion after promotion for your wisdom and hard work. In short, my bearded friends, if you power through the itch, the world will respect you. well that's it.. im growing one... !! :) |

I also got some "Beard Oil"
The Woodsman Beard Oil from The Bearded Bastard.com Description The Woodsman Beard Oil is made of the finest natural ingredients for facial hair that I could find. It has a delightfully woodsy scent to it and it will have you looking for your axe, putting on your flannel shirt, and getting ready to do some manly things indeed. Women and men will 'ooh' and 'ahh' at the brilliant luster of your beard and mustache. They might just hug you a little longer than you were counting on just to take in the fine woodsy scent of your magnificent and full facial hair - happens to me all the time! |

Go for it! I stopped shaving for good 30 years ago, even though I sometimes had a beard, sometimes not, before then. Mine was something like the guy in my avatar, a Ned Kelly, but is decidedly grey now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmFnarFSj_U |

Raven has a beard. The wife refuses to let him shave it. Raven's goal is to grow it to the length you see on the old kungfu you you you masters in the B-Grade 70s movies, just so he can laugh dismissively and twirl it in his hands before flicking it down in contempt.

Setanta's wife has a beard too. It was pointed out to her when our youngest son was about 3 whilst she washed him in the shower. Points to crotch, "you have a beard too mum" and I'm pleased that our beards met and mingled, danced together until sweaty, or at least a little on the damp side. Mine was longer, much longer but hers were a dentists dream. Dental floss for free. Two of my sons sport beards too. I hope the other does before he becomes the second mum. |

Scientists warn we've hit 'peak beard':
The more people grow facial hair, the less attractive it is Wednesday 16 April 2014 After years in the cultural ascendancy, covering all manner of faces from Hollywood to hipster-ville, it seems that the beard’s day in the sun might finally be over. A new study published in the journal Biology Letters suggests that we might have reached ‘peak beard’, with the overwhelming popularity of facial hair meaning that the beard is no longer unusual enough to be attractive. Researchers from the University of New South Wales found that when test subjects were shown a succession of clean-shaven men followed by individuals sporting anything from light stubble to Charles Darwin-style face-clouds, it was the second group that rated more attractive. However, the opposite was also true, and when the test subjects (comprising of 1,453 heterosexual or bisexual women and 213 heterosexual men) were shown a succession of photos of men with facial hear, it was the un-bearded individuals that were deemed better looking. Novelty, it seems, is a key determinant in the attractiveness of beards. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/scientists-warn-weve-hit-peak-beard-the-more-people-grow-facial-hair-the-less-attractive-it-is-9264020.html The ONLY recent pandemic worse than the beard - has been the "man bun" ( ... unless you were planning a career as a librarian) |

Where did this beard fad come from ? It can't of been feminism because they hate men being men,
So I gotta ask, who started it ? I know some women like beards but only on guys they already find hot, so I don't think guys are growing them to attract women but at the same time most guys spend their lives trying to please women and growing a beard jeopardises that ! so what do they get out of it ? I don't get it ? I grew a beard before I was aware it was a fad. I've been growing it and cutting it, on and off, these past 2/3 years and as far as I know the fads only started recently anyway i'm just really confused, I've always liked and admired beards, I don't know if that's weird for a straight guy ? but I've always thought they looked cool ! I was so happy when I matured enough to grow my facial hair, I love it ! sorry if people get offended by opening comments but come on you have to admit most guys are whipped :) I'm also curious is their a bald trend going on atm ? because it's summer and im pretty much done with my hair !, I mean I love it, I have beautiful hair, it's just not the right time of year to have a ''blanket'' on you're head ! beard sure, hair no !!!!!! |

Title: Re: so i was thinking about growing a Beard... Post by ryan on Jan 17th, 2015 at 9:40pm
^^^^^My beards pretty much max'ed out right now,
My beard grows really bushy, It doesn't seem to grow down, It's covers my chin and seems to stop 3/4 inchs under, I have trimmed it from time to time aswell, so theirs also that work hasn't said anything about it and i'd like it too stay that way, so it all works out, It's funny though because it's gingy and my mates like to make jokes about it, but the jokes on them, I bet on a horse called ''red beard'' and it won, :) but too answer you're question, my beard hasn't got noticeably hot or itchy when im working, so that's why i'm not getting rid of it, My hair on the other hand is long and gets in the way, I need to get my hair cut either way and I figure if im going to cut my hair short why not go all out ? it'll grow back soon enough and in the mean time ill be bald in the hottest part of summer and you're head is a huge heat source, so it should work out pretty well, I wont be doing this next summer though, I like my hair, this is simply a once of thing I've never been bald nor have I had short hair in years, so the change will be nice |

I started growing a beard when 20yo, had it for years then shaved off one night (decision out of the blue). Next morning, number 1 son (2 years old then) came into the bedroom and screamed his tummy out - Where is Daddy!!!. Stopped shaving immediately and have had this one now for decades - am 62 now.
Was in the Navy for 45 years, so a beard was the norm, I shave down below now though, makes it look bigger 8-) |

Hate beards - I get a rash under them and under any hairy spot... unless I am very careful about my soap etc.
Look all right - though I've always wondered about men with moustaches..... always seemed seedy to me... |
