The mustache has been overplayed in recent society. Billy D Williams was the last great mustache. Tom Selleck tried to uphold the mustache banner into the 80’s…but he FAILED.
No, my son, the beard is the new mantle of male power and strength. No low testosterone man can even have one.
I will grow my beard for you, dear lost friend.

I don’t know I agree with that my friend.
Full beards look like lumberjacks and ungroomed.
Now a mustache has epic powers and abilities. Some ladies (older) cannot resist a sweet stache my man.

Just grow both. Then everyone’s happeh!
One of my gimmicks as Abraham Strong was “My beard, is better than your beard!”
The other was “Abraham Strong says… GROW YOUR BEARD LONG!”
Damn, I could pwn a beard contest-- I get my 5 oclock shadow at Noon.
I don’t know if I could pull it off though with work. I get the hairy eye sometimes from the boss if they go to a customer site with me and I have my almost mohawk whitewash and my chin hairs goatster.
I gotta find a pic from grad school when I was rockin the hair and the full beard.
I’m in. the mrs. hates it already, little does she know i’m not even trimming it other than the neckline for months and months and months. it’s getting long but i’m shooting for some “Fear the Beard” type shit! ol’ lady hates the beard but she’s sewing my cut, leather and lace bitches! SAMCRO!
beards DO add 20% to all lifts. As mentioned in a different thread, my beard is so tough, it spots me and strips my plates for drop sets! badass.
hey ID, if i had hair like you i’d definately be rocking the stone age look. mmmmmm…grease up the jesus hair and lay the stovepipe (no homo). grease up the jesus hair and lay the stovepipe, that’s great!
SAMCRO!!!
I have to shave everyday now, every winter I would grow a beard and just a goatee in the summer. My new job requires that I be clean shaven I HATE it, my face is breaking out like crazy and the razor bumps on my neck are fucking painful…this thread makes me jealous and reminds me of my fond memories of yesteryear and my amish like beard
I read somewhere that black men sometimes get scarring on their faces from their beard’s texture. Iz dis troo?
I can grow a decent beard, but I’m also one of those guys that complete mustache/beard separation, as in there is a distinct gap between beard and mustache. So it never looks quite right.
My father rocks a pretty good 'stache. I remember once when I was five and he shaved it. I had never seen him without it, and I started sobbing for hours.

Yes. It is mostly due to ingrown hairs, especially if you have really tight curly hair that grows back into the skin. Shaving often makes it worse…which is why many black guys in the military have shaving wavers. I didn’t shave for the four years I was in aside from keeping it groomed and relatively close (obviously no full out beards and goat-tees were allowed).
I can use clippers with no problem but if I actually take a razor to my face, it is over.

This is true, however, I have to shave at the bare minimum, every other day to avoid breaking out. While I love having the full beard, I HATE the process of growing it!!

Are you an actor?
What kind of jobs do people have that they can have this type of look?
Serious question not hating, no way in hell in most of the medical field where you can do this.

Cyrus, ID I know you could pull this off with what you do for a living. Or if you are in the music field etc. Just different world for me, I miss a day of shaving and I have clients that look at me strange.

Really?
I’m growing my beard out a little more right now. I can’t let it get too out of hand mostly because it is a hassle and gets caught in my mask. I could see if you meant “ungroomed”. I can’t walk around like that for more than 3 days without an edge up or it just looks dirty…but why would a longer beard in itself cause that reaction?

Remember X I dont do family practice any more, been working in Occupational medicine, so only medical stuff I do is pre-employment physicals and first aid injuries.
More of my job now is managing staff and sales/politics for our clients. Meeting HR, CEO and site manager types.
Same reason I cant wear short sleeve shirts, with all my ink.
Beards are overdone, mutton chops FTW
