    What's the official stance on facial hair on this board? Surely a mighty beard is possibly the most manly thing in existence?

    I mean, what's not to love about beards? If you're beard enough, you cand do this:

    Brother, art thou trolling?

    You've long girlie hair but you're trying to make sure people don't mistake you for a woman by growing a beard? :eek:

    (Misplaced) vanity should be a bannable offence in this forum, dude :D

    Take the feckin' trimmer to it. Like I said in another thread, it only takes a couple of minutes per month. Save yourself lots of time to spend on worthier causes like consume alcohol or watch TV

    Mods, may I suggest that admitting to blow drying your hair should be another bannable offence in this forum

    I've had at least some class of facial growth since I was 15. It's a part of my identity...a full blown beard though, I don't think I'll ever reach those dizzying new heights...unless I become too lazy to even shave once a week as I usually do.

    A nice bit of unkempt facial hair adds to the general surliness of a man. Like Havok I shave about once a week, twice if something special is on. I can't grow a beard again cause it will be ginger *sniff* why god why????

    Oh and Brother Brian, be not ashamed of our firey celtic & norse heritage, some of the hardest bstrds in history had red beards

    i have no facial hair although i used to have a goatee but i got fed up with being nicknamed ronnie o sullivan so i got rid of it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,230 ✭✭✭scojones


    I'm a lazy bastard. DarkJager can testify to this. I shave at the weekend, and don't bother shaving during the week. On Friday in work I have a pretty big bread. It's quite scary it actually grows very fast. After work, if I'm going out I'll shave it. If not I'll be shaving it on saturday morning. I just cba tbh.

    Perhaps so Brother, but it looks a wee bit silly with black hair!

    Dye it so... No wait, dye isn't manly. Eat lots of bovril really messily, and it'll get stained black. :D

    I fight an eternal battle between which I hate more, shaving or facial hair. The shaving always wins out though, because I look stupid with facial hair as I am afflicted by that which afflicts many Irish men - my beard grows red even though my hair is dark brown. Damn those Viking ancestors!


  • Posts: 26,920 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I grew what facial hair I now have as a stance against the establishment. It was a challenge, to see how long before they make me shave it off. I keep it trimmed, however, as long facial hair doesn't suit me whatsoever.

    In that spirit brother I shall not be shaving today. I know its a brave sacrifice I'm making, but for the brothers (and to in some way make up for my lack of receeding hair...)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,869 ✭✭✭Mahatma coat


    thats the spirit brother

    my last shave was in January and my last haircut was the last time I was back at me barbers in Ireland in 2004

    just let go, ignore vanity and all that ****e, if we was meant to be clean shaven our faces would be bald not our heads

    Had really big side burns for about 5 years. I reckon as a result I still apear to have cheek bones. The years of shaving can still been seen in either stuble growth of years of carving part of my face off.
    Have a beard these days and like how it frames my face.Woman have make-up men can use hair instead:)
