Guys and girls, Your opinions please
"Facial Hair, dig it or not?" Reason I've had some form of goatee since I was 16 years old about 95% of the time and this morning my housemate convinced me to shave it all off (I feel naked!!!) he thinks it looks much better so your opinions please |

Yeah I am not a fan of facial hair sculpturing...LOL
I mean some people, seriously, must spend ages making it look perfect; its a tad ghey if you ask me. Take the average person off that show Pizza for example. I dont have anything against a well kept goaty or similar. I basically dont shave, I have a trimmer, I trim and then let it grow for a few days then trim again. I honestly think Ive shaved a handful of times over the past 12 months. I hate the feeling of being freshly shaved. Luckily at the moment my two jobs dont require me to shave, and I go to uni. Also the missus doesnt care either way, and she seems to not mind when its longer.

Im not heaps attached to my goatee/mo combo... but i look even more ridiculous without it, so it stays (i look about 10 years younger and 50kg fatter when i shave it off lol). Trimming not a big deal, run a razor over the top of it to keep the stray bits at bay! Takes longer to shave what's left every morning.

Not a fan of facial hair either, on men, but mostly women!

i'd like to be able to actually grow proper facial hair. i'm 21 and it's still sparse as. i let it grow over the weekend and by monday morning it just looks like i sat there for 20 mins with a black BIC and drew on about 100 or so hairs. so i'm stuck having to shave FULLY all my life or look like a git. much rather your guys situation.

Is bum fluff in the same class as facial hair?
It takes me weeks to get a 5 o'clock shadow.

Now this is some thing i hate doing. I shave first thing and by bloody lunch time, it look like i didnt bother. I did grow a full beard once when my daughter was very young. The day i shaved it of she screamed blue bloody murder, didnt know who i was. I must admit though the best thing i did do was by an electric shaver. Makes it tolerable.

I don't mind facial hair, but I personally don't think it would suit me. Cheers Darran

I've currently got a beard, but it's a very on and off thing. I've got an electric shaver but I can still never be stuffed shaving. I'm not really into the goatee. With me it's either all or nothing (well, I might give a couple bits a little bit of a trim). I might shave again in the next week or so

I let mine grow ... and then shave it off and stay clean shaven ... then I let it grow back again for a few weeks (sometimes I trim and keep it neat ... other times I just let it grow wild .... I look like a homeless person sometimes ... people steer clear :hihi: )
At the moment I have a 2-3 day growth ... in 2 minds whether to shave or not at the moment. I look a lot younger when clean shaven.

I hate bogan beards. Looks like they have a fanny on their face. Either that or a dead cat. Think Kenny the dunny man.
