Beards.

[Chippy_Tea]

The end of the beard trend has been predicted do you have one have you any intention of getting rid?

I have never managed to get past the two/three week itchy stage it drove me mad every time.

I have one and will be keeping it

Or rather, my husband has and he'll be keeping it, cos I said so

I do like a rugged looking fella

Well, my wife asked to grow a beard, so I will keep it. I almost never follow trends btw. (only once, grunge, but I was already a heavy metal fan 10 years before that).

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Sounds like your wife is on my team

I insist on lots of hair as well

You need a new addition to the vote.

4 I want to grow a beard, but all wifely benefits are removed when there is more than 2 days stubble present.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Awww poor Nick. I would've thought a fellow West Yorkshire lass would've liked a bit of stubble. I'm a Wessie originally lol

 

[Nicks90]

Harrumph....
Apparently it tickles and scratches her face and 'elsewhere' and is therefore unacceptable.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Well I can't get my breath!

Some women would see that as a positive

I have a brown-ish/red-ish beard, I have mostly worn a full face beard since I was about 19 ( just north of 30 now), well before it was a trend and will likely keep it once it goes out again.
Mostly grow it for 2 months or so then trim it down to about 5mm.
Have on occasion had beards so large I could hide pencils in it...

I do not have a beard as in work I would have to cover it with being in a "clean room".
As soon as that's not the case I'm growing one as I don't like shaving.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

They do say dogs are cleaner than beards

 

[The Baron]

I have one at the moment infact just freshly grown. I did have one for ablout 6 months during lockdown but then shaved it off and have just re-grown it is the last week or two out of damn laziness and not liking shaving but do not think it will last.
Ps its white now

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

It'll come in handy at Christmas...

 

[Harbey]

I have a big bushy one atm!
It'll be shaved in the summer.
Then I'll grow a big old Mexican 'tash.
Then a smart long stubble beard
Then a goaty
And so on

I like to change it lots. Keeps people guessing

 

[jof]

Hmm. Tricky.
I would say I usually sport a short stubbly beard, never had patience to grow a full length one.
It doesnt give even coverage, so no Victorian lamb chops for me.

When I was younger & had pigment in my beard I would try until I encountered someone else with a beard who was being a knob, at which point I would shave it off, not wanting to be associated with that kind of behaviour
Now, well meh, just put up with my stubble.

 

[DuncR]

Don't like facial growth (especially on me). Does this make me an outcast in the homebrew world?

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

My dad used to have what I call a 'Billy Ocean' beard

It only used to grow round his upper lip and chin, nowhere else.

There is another description for this growth pattern but far too obscene for this forum ha ha!

 

[Covrich]

I couldn;t grow one if I tried.

 

[StJayJay]

I have one for a while and then shave it off every now and again to remind me what my face looks like/freak out my two small kids. I’ve also been pretty bald since my 20s so the beard gives me at least some hair on my head. The only issue I have is I’m getting a couple of white patches that become longer streaks as it grows, my wife says it’s a sort of Afghan Warlord vibe, not really the look I was going for.

Trend? What's that? Had one in the 'old Navy', then the went away... When I retired from the service, i threw the razor out. Been fuzzy ever since. My sons (30 & 28) weren't old enough to remember what i look like without one.
