Dat beard

I have beard in order to not faff about with maintenance ao have never tried oils and what not. I also have unmaintained pubes if anyone is wondering.

My skin is usually really itchy under a beard, this time round it's been an actual pleasure. It's really not much faff either. I shampoo it in the shower, comb it briefly, and then put oil on it straight after. Takes an extra minute, tops.
 
Yeah don't take any notice of those videos on youtube where hipster type people and massaging their beards for ages with oil. Takes me 1-2 minutes at most a couple of times a week.
I suspect some people have made a fair bit of money out of the beard oil business.
 
Beard is salt and pepper but pubes as black as night....enjoy.

Good God, I'm just about to have an early (very early) night, here's hoping for non-pube filled dreams.

Anyway I don't like people with beards, because I want one but my efforts make me look like I've just stepped out of a salon, if by salon I mean the skankiest trailer in a trailer park.
 
Ok, so now that I no longer have the missus to nag me to shave every day, i've decided to let my bum fluff grow to see what its like. So far, most people have said it quite suits me, and if i'm honest, I quite like it myself, I think it makes me look older and it has certainly earned me some extra man points, although I guess i'm about to lose them with the questions below :D

So, never grown (or been allowed to) a substantial beard before!

1) Is beard oil really essential?
2) Can you recommend an entry level beard trimmer? £25-40'ish
3) Is it weird I can't stop playing/stroking it? LOL
4) I quite like the length it's at now, it just needs tidying up. Shall I let it grow a bit longer and then tidy it up with the trimmer back down to this length I like?

;)

so I've had to style mine, it was getting too long and curly at the sides, started to receive comments about looking like Santa's brother.

Anyone had any weird encounters due to their beards? Popped into a pub Sat night and heard "BEARD ENVY" shouted across the room. We all looked up and some massive bloke with a beard came over and started admiring mine, stroking it and talking about how great it was. Then there was 5 minutes of everyone comparing who's was softest while I just sat there letting them get on with it feeling rather perplexed by it all.
 
Stumbled across this. What a wonderful thread

Will have to post my beard at some point!

my new t-shirt arrived yesterday
"If you tickle my beard, I'm not responsible for your pregnancy" :D

I want this :D

(for clarification, the T-shirt, not to be impregnated by your fine beardy self.)

  1. No, personally I can't be arsed with it and the one I have smells weird.
  2. No
  3. No, beards are supremely excellent.
  4. Yeah let it grow longer and trim it down, it'll be nicer that way.

You can keep the length and get it "styled" I get mine done when i get my hair cut. trims around the bottom so it has a nice curve to it trims down by the ears and gives a better shape in general.

just because you have it cut doesn't mean it will be shorter
