Shaving my beard (or even when someone gets a haircut or whatever)

is there anything more annoying that when you shave your beard and then everyone can't shut up about it? it's not like i don't shave it off at least once or twice a year or anything and it's not like i haven't heard a million times before how young i look without it.

people seemed to like me better with the beard. : (

I look 100 better w/o mine. Beard = sux0r.

100 x better even

and ten years later they still bring it up. remember when you had that beard? bwahahahaha!

my husband shaved off his beard about a month ago. I'd never seen him without it before then. I never realised what a weak chin he had. He looked severely retarded. I couldn't help but laugh everytime i looked at him.

awww, i like you in a platonic way with or without your beard, h.

if only people appreciate my old man/mountain man mash up style.

― jack cole (jackcole), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:18 (twenty-two years ago)

i've never seen jack cole without the beard (although hstencil i have).

it looks nice on you jack, but more importantly what does m. think?

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh beard, how I hate thee and destroy thee daily.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I get bored and shave my head or solo different bits of facial hair on a fairly regular basis, and people don't seem to say much about it in general. I think it's more of a frequency thing... If you keep one hairstyle or beard for too long then you'll get more comments when you switch that shit up.

Ned with a beard would totally rule though.

― martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Ew. I feel unclean.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Or at least a soulpatch.

― martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Or at the least dipped in creosote.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:25 (twenty-two years ago)

What is being dipped in creosote? You lost me, Ned.

― martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I am trying to draw unsavory comparisons to the experience of my growing a beard and what it would seem like to me, thus.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I just wish I had a cleft. :(

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Ah. Noted.

I still think you would totally rule with a beard, Ned.

― martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm flattered, but no and a thousand times no. Facial hair was invented by Satan to torment us.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:32 (twenty-two years ago)

There was a period of my life when I tried to grow "long hair". Oh my god, what a horrible horrible mistake.

― Satan (donut), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Huh. Facial hair has never tormented me, and mine grows at a rate that would have me shave every day if I wanted to remain completely beardless at all times. In fact, I believe razors were invented by Satan to torment us. Or at least to give us very chapped faces in the morning.

― martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Ned, what about other people's facial hair? I like the idea that I'd be able to torment you simply by not shaving.

― martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:37 (twenty-two years ago)

people seemed to like me better with the beard.

*ahem*

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh my god, what a horrible horrible mistake.

Well OF COURSE IT WAS, you old goat.

I like the idea that I'd be able to torment you simply by not shaving.

Well done.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Wasn't there a thread a while back where ilx0rs checked in with their facial hair status?

― martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:40 (twenty-two years ago)

okay, to be truthful, lauren's the only person who thinks I look better without it.

― hstencil, Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:41 (twenty-two years ago)

do you have a pic with the beard?

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm going through the same thing right now. With the beard, I come out looking like Chris Robinson (or a hippy.) That's not really my style, but without the beard, my broken nose is more prominent and I look like Ross Perot again.

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I think beards/facial hair generally (and i stress "generally") suit huskier folks than not. And since I'm slightly (haha) huskier than center, then I figure this is why facial hair works for me more than others.

(Not to comment on anyone else's huskiness or lack thereof in this thread or anything)

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:47 (twenty-two years ago)

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE MY CLIPPERS ARE!!! I FEEL ALIEN WITH 3/4 INCH OF HAIR!!! HELP!!!!!!

― brg30 (brg30), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:48 (twenty-two years ago)

You callin me husky, bitch!?

― martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:48 (twenty-two years ago)

FAT MARTIN FAT MARTIN FAT MARTIN FAT MARTIN FAT MARTIN..

dude.. i have no idea what you're talking about

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I am actually NOT ALLOWED to shave off my facial hair. Of course, this means that every day I wake up wanting to zap it all, just to see what would happen. (The last time I did this, I was locked out of my room for 15 minutes.)

I grow and then shave my beard so frequently that no one who knows me even a little comments on it much.

Wargh.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I've never gone more than about four days without shaving. I don't even know if I could grow a beard, but after four days I look like a wretched sex offender.

I even shave while backpacking/mountaineering, but you never know when you'll meet the St. Pauli Girl at some mountainside hoffbrau.

― andy, Wednesday, 4 February 2004 00:58 (twenty-two years ago)

That guy looks like he's eating a wig.

Apparently, growing a moustache gives a man more authority.

Every girl's crazy 'bout a dude with a beard.

― andy, Wednesday, 4 February 2004 01:04 (twenty-two years ago)

ha, gygax, m likes it better without the beard -- im not all "scratchy" -- but shaving is such a pain -- i shaved this morning at around 9:30 and now its 5 and I already have 9 o clock shadow.

also, i have to go to my grandma's wedding this friday so my mom called on monday to tell me and hassled me to trim my beard -- but i had already shaved it off the day before -- so that means more "ohhhh, you look so handsome without that thing covering your face" and the thought in their heads that they are responsible.

― jack cole (jackcole), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 01:14 (twenty-two years ago)

dude. stence, I think you look a-ok sans beard.

My stepfather got upset that I didn't notice he had shaved his beard off at Christmas.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 02:52 (twenty-two years ago)

no beard is best!

― Orbit (Orbit), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 04:06 (twenty-two years ago)

at various points, i've had goattees (including on the passport). in school, i also had a superstition about never shaving during exam-time.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 04:15 (twenty-two years ago)

but i need a beard when i go and check all me traps and bring the pelts back to the trading post.

― jack cole (jackcole), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 04:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I get a haircut about once a year. I'm a freak before and after...

― jim wentworth (wench), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 05:31 (twenty-two years ago)

but a shaven face is so much more kissable!

― Orbit (Orbit), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 06:09 (twenty-two years ago)

no, i beg to differ! beards are instant dreaminess! especially if accompanied by a dashing receder!

― Emilymv (Emilymv), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 06:14 (twenty-two years ago)

to be honest, my skin is very soft, and sensitive; stubble/hair on a guy i was kissing would give me a RASH!

― Orbit (Orbit), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 06:16 (twenty-two years ago)

only stubble would. beard hair is usually quite soft, like goose down.

― Emilymv (Emilymv), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 06:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm growing mine out now. At like 5 days I'm kinda surprised by the thickness. It'll be my natural homegrown face toque.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 18:54 (twenty-two years ago)

i haven't shaved in a month. iron and wine style.

― Chris V (Chris V), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 18:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I think there are maybe only four men in the universe that look better with a beard than without one. But then I am known for hatred for beards.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Wednesday, 4 February 2004 19:01 (twenty-two years ago)

there are only four women in the universe that look better with a beard than without one.. But then I am known for my love of hirsute women.
