    As the title suggests, this is a place for any forum members to discuss their facial hair, be it beards and/or moustaches.

    Believe it or not, beard growing is actually considered as a legit sport, with world championships every year - http://www.worldbeardchampionships.com/

    So, does anyone here sport a beard and/or moustache? Or do they wish they were man enough to do so? :86:

    I sport some homeless looking stubble, I shave my head with number 0 clippers and the fave gets the same treatment so its all even.

    I am rarely clean shaven.

    Unfortunately, I have the curse of dark brown hair and a ginger beard. It's thick enough to grow full, but the hairs are like spikes and it's rather uncomfortable.

    Problem with this is I'm 26 and when I shave, I look about 18. :54:

    I always sport some stubble, "designer" stubble, always keep it the same length with a shaver and clean shave the neck area.

    Most people with brown hair have at least some ginger in their beard.

    Well i sport a generally sparsely populated beard that one would expect of a 21 year old. I cannot stand shaving, do it every 2/3 weeks.

    When i go to uni coupled with my uber fashion sense of tracky bottoms, some adiddas trainers, a nice cashmere sweater and a waterproof jacket. I look like a tramp and someone you would avoid talking to on a monday morning.

    When i let it grow for a few weeks it becomes reasonable but its still a bit stubbly around certain areas. Right on the chin area i get good growth and if i had the balls i would shave off the rest and have one of those mini beards which include the tash all the way down to the bottom of your chin on either side. Still not tried it yet to see what it looks like.

    I just look a bit like a scruffy * when I don't shave as it all sorta grows at different lengths. Last summer I properly groomed it and kept it all neat and it actually looked alright, but when your too busy to be fannying about with a beard and sorting out your doo in the morning, just shave it haha.

    I constantly have stubble. Haven't shaved in well over a year, maybe 2. Just trim it with clippers.

    I never clean shave. I've had the fanciest razors, foams, creams etc. and my face still feels skinned for 2 days afterwards. Sensitive skin I guess.

    I just shave it with a beard trimmer for the "designer stubble" look though I always forget to charge it so I have a thick unkempt beard alot.

    I was born with a 5 o'clock shadow. I absolutely hate shaving and although I never look clean-shaven, I still do it it once or twice a week so I can look half-presentable.

    I'm going to treat myself to a straight (cut-throat) razor and all the fancy maintenance kit at some point this year as a wee treat to the 'real man' in me! Maybe the ceremony of an old-fashioned dangerous shave will encourage me to do it more often! Feckin expensive to get all the kit though! :icon_mrgreen:

    I always have stubble aswell but I have fair hair and the moustache area is mostly blonde lighter hairs and you can hardly see it so id probably look daft with a longer beard. Mines is also one of them where no/hardly any hair grows on the wee bit in the middle between your nose and mouth.

    Like that



    Wish I could grow a decent beard like that one mick put the picture of
