    Im still kinda expecting to get that huge macho dark shodow un-shaven look all about my face even though im 34

    All I get is strong growth on my neck and a wee bit on my upper lip

    I'm a big lad that drives fast and treats homosexuals like their my sisters,Why aint I got that masculine darkness all over my face instead of just on my neck?

    Great thread.

    I haven't had a shave in a month (well just a trim here & there) just to see how the growth is after said time. Vigorous growth around the chin & upper lip area, not great on the neck & sides of the jaw but decent enough so far. Its not a black beard, more sort of blonde/brown type thing.:(

    Oh & an adult human female i made verbal communication with at a public drinking facility said it made me look 'rugged or something'. Honest. I think women like beards?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,376 ✭✭✭✭rossie1977


    you must be female :p

    i could grow a big beard at 16-17

    Haven't been without some sort of beard since I was 17, I've been shaving pretty much since I went to secondary school. Five o'clock shadow is what I get when I put the razor down... some of you don't know how lucky you have it!

    b*stards! :mad::D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,762 ✭✭✭peejay1986


    I envy you lot who can't grow beard. I hate how quick my facial hair grows. Ideally I would shave every day but my skin can't handle it. Unless I have a reason to I won't shave. I've been reason free for a week now :D

    Been shaving since i was twelve. My beard is stunning. Clean shaven most of the time though, don't like the itch and its a tad ginger. Having said that I hate shaving, the density of my beard gives me awful shaving rash.

    A beard? In school? Surely you must be a teacher? when I was in school we weren't allowed any sort of facial hair. A guy in my class got suspended for having a 5 o'clock shadow :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,800 ✭✭✭Senna


    I've always threatened to grow a beard during holidays from work, i'm taking nearly a month off in October, i might just do it this time. I should resemble grizzly adams after 2 weeks.

    I've often had a full bush of ginger hair on my face and not a word said to me about it, other than a bit slagging from a few of the funner male teachers.

    I keep mine short. I am kind of fair haired but when I leave my facial hair grow it is a mix of colours, black, blond and red, I swear to god. Does anybody else get this?

    My facial hair is kind of brown with some blonde/black patches???


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 424 ✭✭d.anthony


    I was sacked from my job in a supermarket once for refusing to shave every day. Can an employer legally make you shave?

    It wasn't scruffy looking, just stubble most of the time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,810 ✭✭✭Mackman


    my beard sucks, loads on the neck and chin, a little bit on the cheeks and under the nose. but there's a gap between my mustash and beard with nothing on it. looks rediculous of i let it grow :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 320 ✭✭CorsetIsTight


    I've heard people wondering about why men grow their beards, I always wonder why men shave.

    I think most men look much better with a beard than without, assuming they can grow a decent one rather than a patchy straggly one.

    A beard is also softer than stubble, which is a bonus.*

    This of course is merely one woman's opinion.**




    *Poster's opinion is based on experience limited to her husband's beard.

    **Or that of one woman, pretending to be a man, if certain theories about the internet are to be believed.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,163 ✭✭✭✭danniemcq


    I've bald patches, really annoying. Smooth as a babys arse just under my chin, meh (and no it's not from someones somethings rubbing against them ( i know how you AHers think!)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    I tend to only shave every 3 or 4 days anyway (sometimes longer) tho I shave the ould 'ceann' every day! Could grow a beard but it's not as dark as I want it to be and to be honest I'd look pretty effin' stupid with a full grown beard and a shaved head!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,738 ✭✭✭✭Squidgy Black


    i'm 15 and i can get a decent enough chinstrap in less than a month :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    gotta a nice jaw/chin strap, goatie combo going on. do the edges every few days. although if was starting from clean shaven again (have not been for about 4 months, it would be patchy for the first few weeks.

    have had no real complants about it, couple of mates trying to be funny, but the women like it.

    :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,178 ✭✭✭✭NothingMan


    Hmm. I have very sparse yet symetrical growth. This is me with a trimmed (for neatness) about 2 weeks growth.

    I shaved on Sunday when I got home from Pukkelpop cos I wanted to feel extra clean and I look about 12. Very strange. Think I'll stick to the trimmed sparse stubble, even if what most people can grow in about an hour takes me a week.

    It hasn't been that long for a while. I've been clean shaven for the past few months and thinking of growing it back again. Maybe not that length though, it takes a lot of work to keep it.

    I feel your pain brother. Have Brown hair with beard that has black roots changing to Red & brown and then blonde in some places esp under bottom lip. It changes depending on which angle or light you look at it from. My beard had a dark red in it 2-3 years ago but it was overtaken with the brown\blonde lately. I do get the equivelant of men looking at womens cleavage except with a beard at gigs and in conversations. Like with a WTF kind of expression. :P

    Best advice I can offer in terms of gaining growth would be to shave off whatever growth you get on those 'problem areas' as much as you can and it'll continue to grow thicker and darker. Having said that, with the price of razor blades these days one would have to wonder why you'd want more facial hair...well, from an economical perspective.

    You might want to consider a testosterone suppliment...? Worked wonders for several lads I know. I've been able to sport a full grown beard since 12/13 so I've always been grand in this department - worked wonders for the women back in the day :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    Mine grows fairly quickly, all round my neck/face, but also a few random hairs just in the middle of my face.
