Have we hit the Beard Hype crest?

Generic Dreadhead · 15-10-2014 03:34PM #1

I'm starting to notice a lot less "Beard" related conversations, posts, people out and about with beards etc.

Is the Beard fad going into a bit of a downturn?

Anyone else noticed less Beard stuff?

The veil is almost as thin as the fluff on your chain after 2 weeks not shaving.

BoJack Horseman · 15-10-2014 03:35PM

Like oil I don't think we've reached peak beard yet.

Not till women & children sport them.

My pre-beard craze beard breathes a beardy sigh of beard relief.

BeardySi · 15-10-2014 03:36PM

Can't wait till all the hipsters start shaving again so I can stop looking so damn trendy!

Plenty of the morons still wandering about.

There will always be people, like myself, who don't go in for the whole beard hype, but are just simply too lazy to shave the thing off...

Yamanoto · 15-10-2014 03:43PM

I see James McClean got a loan of Malcolm Glazer's beard for the big night, which was nice.

+1.

Although I do have my name down for one of those free Gillettes in the bargain alerts thread.

If the beard craze ends, and my new razor arrives, I'll have to deny being a hipster all over again. You can't win. :mad:

Just tell them that you were shaving it off before it became cool.

Wait... damn, that is how they get you in the first place.

I want to know who the epicentre of this foolish affliction was? It claimed members of my own family, friends and the famous alike. Seemingly normal people going to work looking like a member of ABBA on a building site.

Sick looking at crumbs of food and heads of pints stuck around their beards. Shave or stop using your mouth to eat and drink.

Filthy peasants.

Mint Sauce · 15-10-2014 03:50PM

Only keeping mine because I look about 16 without it.

Silence peasant, if i wanted to have an unpleasant excess of hair near where I eat and drink it would be well within my biological capabilities.

I suspect I am older than you and have seen many "phases" come and go.

Dont start me on tattoos.

Here's hoping!

Mostly because I'm one of those people that can't grow a nice luxuriant one, mine grows in very patchy, thus I'll be my usual sobbing heap of masculine insecurity come 'Movember' :mad:

Your old age seems to be leading to confusion. There are 'phase beards' and 'genuine beards'.

My beard is 12 years old, so it is not a 'phase beard'.

What tattoos have to do with beards, I don't know. I do know the elderly can be prone to rambling though, so I'll put it down as that.

Did you wear an onion on your belt by any chance?

Only 16 more days until November....oh the abundance of hairy men! *drool*

To be fair, it was the style at the time.

Not in Longford anyway, all my cousins were rocking beards when I was home the last time & half the players at the county final as well. It was really bizarre.

Cupcake_Crisis · 15-10-2014 04:47PM

I for one hope the beard trend never ends

I missed the great Onion Belt craze of '33, always next time.

Your beard must be hitting puberty about now, then? It'll be thinking about growing a little beard of its own?

Miss Demeanour · 15-10-2014 05:05PM

Give me a bit of stubble over a beard any day. Theres nothing more relaxing that drifting off to sleep while stroking someones stubbly chin.

Chin you say...?

Intifada · 15-10-2014 05:09PM

It's been one of the cringiest things over the past few years. Seems to have permeated all ends of society too, from the hipster to the tryhard LAD types down to the neckbeards who post on Reddit "mighty fine beard sir!!" regardless of how awful the facial hair in question is.

I actually have to shave more regularly in November so people don't think I'm part of whatever lame fad bollocks social media has contrived for the month.

I made sure to say chin.....in case I became Miss Understood!

Beards - in general - can't really be described as phases or trends. They've always been around. Is the 'peak beard' discussion not related specifically to 'hipster' type beards?

Have we hit the Beard Hype crest?
