should i grow a beard?

i just lit part of my beard on fire :(

"light your beard on fire (feat. spliff star)"

SO into my beard right now

i am now 17 days w/o shaving and i look patchy but decent imo

oh right except for THE SINGES

I misread that as THE SHINGLES and was a bit worried!

lmao

so uh how did you accomplish this?

better your beard than your eyebrows, as I always say

v windy today and my nearly gone cig went out

i am poor and need to salvage my cigs, so i tried to relight it despite it being v short

wind blew flame at my beard instead

i was on fire

that is the story of how i came to be on fire

i have done this thing

hoos i am v surprised that u smoke!

both beard growing and fire face that is xpost

after shaving a couple of weeks ago, i am regrowing my beard now, but this time not trimming/shaping it at all to see what happens. it looks pretty bad, my facial hair grows slowly and doesn't appear to come in it all right under my chin

haha your beard looks bad

hoos i am v surprised that u smoke!

if i had to choose b/w smoking and anything else the anything else would win

thankfully i am young and immortal so

Man, I wish I could grow a beard.

I really want one. A big gingery beard.

sorry

Beards are the only thing I hate about winter. I still shave my legs in the winter -- get with it, males of the species.

i had to put my beard to sleep

i've had a beard since i could

the jacket/beard combo A++

i've had a beard since i could

having a beard > being concerned about having an ID beard

wsn't really an issue ever BTW I stopped getting IDed when I was 17

ive had a "beard" since may 2007. but i keep it at like a 2-3 w/ trimmers

'the panhandler'

i shaved my beard, but it looked terrible, so i grew it back. i am now thinking of shaping it so that it's shorter on the sides but long from the chin. i am not exactly sure how this is done.

scissors?

good call.

my moustache keeps falling into my mouth

That is a mustache, not a beard.

Actually my hair is v. dirty today. Perhaps tonight I will try painting on a full ginger beard.

i like the idea of having a beard a lot more than actually having one

Do they itch?

I always wondered if that beard-scritching thing that boys while thinking do is an affectation, or if they do actually itch.

if you use a shampoo & conditioner it helps the itching. the itchiest part is like weeks 2-4 imo

i grow a beard every few months, but i've never had a really long one. next time i'm single, maybe. i can grow a respectable 'short' beard in a week.

So it's like any other kinda hair - itches when it's new, but settles in after a few weeks.

Damnm, I want a beard.

And I don't want to have to get a boyfriend to experience beard fun. I want one of mine own.

have never had itch from a beard but like to scratch anyway, is a comfort thing rilly

THIS IS THE MOST TERRIFYING THING I'VE EVER SEEN.

Maybe I should get a sex change. I'm *much* better looking as a man than I am as a woman.

come to mommy

That *really* disturbs me. But the more I thought about it, the more it made me laugh, which only made me look like him *more*. :-O

just some fyi to you young beardos, when yr gray beard hairs start coming in they will be wirier than regular beard hairs and they won't go in the same direction

i just did some shaping and i fear it was premature

yea premature shaping can totally ruin a beard imo

can make it look a little douchey

tho hoos i'm sure you don't look like a douche

huh i always thing its good to shape early and then let nature work with the seams

this is kinda how i went when i was sporting a beard (that i think i'm ready to grow back). i kept it a little longer around the 'stache & chin than the sides. i'm cheap and used scissors (very carefully), but i suppose the multiple settings of decent beard trimmer could be employed.

Last month, I grew a three-week beard for the first time in a few years and was amazed at how gray my chin was. Not terribly surprised, because I can tell from the stubble, but it was still fascinating.
