Need the ladies opinions

brianthebard

When I was terribly in debt earlier in the semester I stopped shaving, seeing it as an unnecessary drain on funds. My resultant beard would be an homage to my financial situation I thought. Now that I'm slightly less in debt I can afford blades if I so wish. But since I have feck all style sense I need the opinions of the ladies to guide me as to what would be best. Below are some pics of me, one shaven, one bearded. Please vote in the poll and let me know what you think I should be wearing! Remember your vote counts! :P





P.S. Yes I know I need a hair cut, one thing at a time! all votes and comments greatly appreciated.

If you cut your hair and trin you beard you will look like Riker from Star Trek.

You don't want that.

Long hair + beard = the **** btw.

Agreed - get a beard trimmer and shave it to a reasonable level. I got a cheap one in Boots for €13.99 which I use about once or twice a week to keep mine in shape. Just got it last month after deciding to keep a bit of bear going at all times.

Uber...funked??? Do I need a second thread for hair cuts? I was thinking of getting a few inches off the back and maybe one off the front, is that funky enough for you? :P

Dude, harsh. Having a beard is a necessary step on the path to socialism. Look it up its in Critique of the Gotha programme.

SeekUp

I don't particularly like beards, but I think it'd be just find if you trimmed it nice and neat.

No comment about the hair.

Beruthiel

Long hair + beard ftw!

But it's because of capitalism you can't afford razors.

Madame Razz

Keep the (tidy) beard, but get a serious haircut.

However I think with a serious haircut and no beard you would like quite well also.

Ergo my conclusion is get a damn serious haircut!!!

The beard does suit you tho

I was gonna ask you to join my pirate crew, if you get a hair cut your out as you can't pull off the below menacing piratey look.

I will be sad about it, but i'll still kehaul ya, ya scurvy landlubber!

livvy

Keep it, the beard hides the ugly!

I reckon the beard makes you look older. Great if thats what you want but you have years ahead of you for looking older. I would reckon a good shave and a hair cut. Im a clean cut sorta girl !!

LOL:pac:.... a serious haircut is one where inches would be removed.

An insincere haricut would equate to a trim.

Be serious Brian!!!!:D

Lolz when it would still be shoulder length or just above it if I got a serious cut, there are plenty of inches to be taken at the back. I always wanted to be a pirate though!

Yes yes same as everybody else. Decent haircut and keep the beard.

Beards always win.

Zaph

Short hair and beardless is the way to go. I really, really hate long hair on blokes and was never a fan of beards. At least it's a proper beard though and not a stupid goatee or something where you still have to shave. Can't see the point of that at all.

beks101

I'm sure it's controversial, but a bit of designer stubble never goes astray I say.

A bit metro, but I reckon you could carry it off.

That and a decent hair cut

The beard really suits you...keep it!

Peared

Halfway between stubble and a beard is the best look, lets call it a steard.

Or a beabble.

And the hair needs to be messed up a little.

Swept back off the face yes, but less forcefully so.

And never ever ever a ponytail.

Unless you morph into Colin Farrell in which case it's ok.

brianthebard

Colin Farrell has a ponytail now? I haven't had a hair cut since september tbh, couldn't afford it for same reasons as not shaving, so its gotten very very thick. Will try to get something tomorrow or early next week if I can, its definitely starting to get a bit annoying, and I've wanted a few inches off the back for a while now.

Peared

I think keep the hair for the winter, then when you cut it in the spring, shave it all off, bout blade 3.

Im not one for the middleman me.

brianthebard

:eek: No way in feck my hair is going to ever be less 3 inches long again unless I go bald (think the fringe is about 5 inches and a bit atm).

Keep the beard, grow the hair as long as possible.

Agreed, steards are the way forward! clean shaven is bleh! Tidy the beard a bit, you can get an electric shaver thing for cutting hair instead of a beard that won't cut it too tight.

Agree about the ponytail thing too. Cut the hair a bit, maybe to your chin? Call me old-fashioned but I like guys hair to be shorter than mine!!

Actually yes. I went to a consultant with a picture of you, and asked how much it would cost to look this good. After they stopped spluttering, they told me it would be far too expensive when all I needed was a brown paper bag. :rolleyes:

As per the almost universal opinion of the ladies lounge I got a haircut today. I've also trimmed the beard a bit, dunno if it will be up to scratch though?
I know there's still a lot of hair (I asked her to thin it out on top but she didn't know what I meant and I didn't want to push it, things had gone well up to then) but keep in mind there's at least two/three inches gone off the back. Hope the loungers approve Also the lady in the barber's shop said I had very healthy hair! yay for me!
