Gentlemen,
It's time we discussed our facial hair.
What kind of moustaches, beards, and combinations have you tried before? How does you facial hair look right now? Favorite facial-hair products? Grooming tips?
I have worn several styles in the past, but to put them in the order of most common usage for me we get:
1 - Federation Standard (mainly only because I was a kid for so much of my life...)
2 - Petit Goatee (while I waited for the sides to fill in...)
3 - Goatee (my normal face)
4 - Van Dyke (my current face)
5 - Handlebar (I did this for a year just for kicks)
6 - Hollywoodian (I did this for a year as I let myself go after undergrad. I also grew my hair long.)
7&8 - Handlebar and Goatee, and Copstash Standard (Somewhat rare for me. I do this when I'm feeling adventurous)
9&10 - Fu Manchu, The Zappa (My most common "I'm screwing around. Look at me!" face)
11 - Soul Patch (Only for less than a day. I do this whenever I go from anything beardy to the Federation Standard)

I rock the Old Dutch pretty well, and do it often (just shave my face). The only other purposeful facial hair grooming I did in the past was grow a really long and pointy goatee last year. I eventually got sick of it after it got so long that it was getting in the way of everything.
-
N/A for me, outside of stubble when I'm lazy or just don't care ...
-
I have stubble quite often. But women always seem to moan about it.
When I was 12 I grew a moustache. Until they became hijacked as a gay thing. ( wel they probably were before but anyways..)
-
You were born in 1965?
-
I ALWAYS have facial hair for the most part....I hate it when it's really short or clean shaven cuz I look like an 8 years old boy.
-
No. Many years later fortunately.
I deluded myself that growing a moustache as a 12 yr old was a status symbol.
As a 14 yr old my class universally considered it a "Freddie Mercury tribute activity".
-
Hah!
-
I have facial hair, I have a moustache and sideburns.
Not enough to fit those pics though.
-
Hey gentlemen only!
...wait what?
-
The guy on those pics looks like a Satanist.From France.
In a mental asylum.
Probably late Victorian era.
-
Anyway I contest the notion that moustaches (as a whole) are gay. They are, in fact, awesome.
-
Someone told me that in the 70s, moustaches were considered very heterosexual ( except on dykes).
I still think leather cap and cowboy chaps with one might be considered a little camp tho...
-
Definitely leather caps, cowboy chaps, and moustaches when used in combination are very gay.
Eric Anzalone didn't do the hetero moustache any favors.
-
pastel fucking colours is another bullshit fashion thing they try and foist on people every so often arrrrrrrrrrr...
-
I have a uni brow too, they should've been mentioned.
-
Were u on Merlin yesterday too?
-
Sadly I can't act.
-
Don't think that would necessariy preclude u...
And u could always try Neighbours.
Actually Merlin's brilliant.
-
I have a unibrow too.
I was clean-faced till about age 12 or so, when I started getting a bit of a "soul patch" (god I hate that name and hereby refuse to use it anymore). Grew that out and kept only that despite the rest of my facial hair starting to grow more and more till I was about 18, at which point I thought I'd escaped my dad's insane facial hair gene. I was wrong.
By the time I was 19 I was a hairy fucker, but shaved once a week or so, just leaving the aforementioned unmentionable. Not that I'd shave once a week and still look pretty clean shaven for more than a day, mind you. I'm just lazy about it. I grew a mustache as well at one point, but that lasted less than a week cuz I looked sleazy as fuck.
Age 20 I decided to try growing a goatee, and I've only ever shaved it off completely once* since. I still only shave about once a week, and not even with a razor anymore. I use a pair of edging clippers that just take my stubble down really low.
I always have some one of the following: van dyke, goatee, ducktail/van dyke, ducktail/goatee, klingon/goatee, anchor/goatee, not-quite-so-petit goatee.
*I do NOT recommend this.
-
Yeah I didn't get into mixing these terms, but in truth my face currently is closest to a short boxed van dyke.
-
I like plain goatee best.
I've done hollywoodian, sparrow, & van dyke at various times.
-
sparrow
Haha. Awesome!
-
I've done sparrow but only for pirate parties.
-
I've done sparrow but only while I saw a dude dressed as him at for pirate parties.
Fixed ...
I have a uni brow too, they should've been mentioned.
You've got a 'stache, sidburns, and a unibrow?
Your mom fuck Sasquatch or something?
One word for you: WAX! (or laser)
-
My evolution of facial hair has gone from the Federation Standard, to the Petit Goatee, to the Goatee, to the current Van Dyke. I'd really like to go with the Winnfield, but I can't grow the sideburns.
I gave the short boxed beard a shot, but alas, other than on my chin and stache area my facial hair is just too sparse to pull off the full beard.
-
Exactly. My sideburns are a joke.
-
I cant grow enough facial hair have a moustache without looking like pedophilic serial killer, or John Major.
-
I have fairly prominent sideburns. I've never managed to (or had much desire to, I guess) make it through the really itchy period, so I've never grown out a full on Grizzly Adams, but I probably could if I felt like it. I don't have many sparse areas on my face.

if i cared I would wax.. but i don't.

Argh. Vellus hair is not the same as a manly beard. Stop faggoting up this thread, madam!
-
detroit = goatee with scruff
-
I dont think anybody here thinks you are scruff.
-
Hahaha!
-
Hahaha!
-
I don't know, I always thought you were a little scruffy.. Not that there's anything wrong with that...
-
Argh. Vellus hair is not the same as a manly beard. Stop faggoting up this thread, madam!
I'm sorry, it's clear you are all succeeding well enough without me...
But, if it helps, my brother has a full fledged beard and moustache. He is trying to get a goatee. It's brilliant.
-

You could just comment admiringly about the beards of us gentlemen. And you could make us sammiches for when we're hungry.
...older or younger brother?
-
Same age, he's had a beard since he was at least 13, probably longer. 13 is just when I know he definitely had one.
His nickname is also sandwich. It's a sign!
I can't comment admiringly without pics.

Touche...

I have trimmed my beard a little shorter since then (for the summer) and I think soon I shall have my hair cut off really short for a while too. In anticipation of the application of medicated crap for a while. It's all frazzled anyway and isn't going to grow any longer unless I cut it off first.
-
So what's the likelihood that a French Fork might be in the cards, then?
Hell, you could pull off a Hulihee. I have beard envy.

haha, oh that is BRILLIANT. [so brilliant in fact it needs to be in caps.]
I love it.
Also, the shades are a nice touch.

First pic: Nice. How long did that take? I'm actually thinking most recently of growing mine out. I haven't trimmed the beard in about a week now...
Third: #3 and #6 ought to have positioned themselves better to balance the picture. It puts my Feng Shui meter all out of joint.
Second and Third: Man... All Antiguan chicks so tasty?
-
Ugh. I'm going to play the lottery tonight for a 1 in 175,711,536 of living the rest of my life in the Caribbean.
-
LOL, I think I'll just burn a dollar and hope for the best.

Well I guess you already know I wear a lot of tie-dye too.
omg I just realized I'm wearing it now! Time for another hit. ( ;

Man, I really like burning money when I'm drunk. The last few times I've been drunk and around a fire pit, I've built absurdly large fires and burnt everything I could get my hands on, including the contents of my wallet.
-
Hah! No wonder our resident Beltane fiend likes to bring you along! I dig your style.
One of these days I want to have a good wild Midsummer bonfire. I need shore-front property and time first.
-
I actually don't think I've gotten out of hand with the fire at any of the Celt gatherings.
-
Speaking of, 38425 Bayview Road, Colton's Point, MD.
I'm going down Friday morning, I think. Going to try to build a headsail furler for my Newport, and do some minor maintenance. Then onto the water until Samhain fire Sat night. Let me know if you're coming, I'll bring you some garb.
-
I see Dmoth, people.
-
I'll be coming down. Is Friday night or Saturday morning better?
-
Party isn't until Sat night, you know the drill. Do what makes you happy, man.

If he already has a full fledged beard and mustache and is trying to get a goatee tell him he's doing it wrong.
-
currently it is part of the beard.
-
Please tell me that picture of tru is real.
I need it to be real.
-
He's posted his pics before, I believe they are.

Why?
Yes it is.
-
Why?
You're just very you-lookin', dude.
-

Never go out in the sun without them.
-
New thread time.

Well I get that for sure. But Geek and I have been on friendly terms throughout and I don't understand why it would make any difference to her.
Certainly not enough for her to want to say to say it MUST be so. Am I missing something?
-
I think she was just surprised you actually posted a pic because it took you so long. She could easily put your words to your picture, and she hoped she wasn't doing so under false impressions.
I know you far less than Geek, but I agree it looks pretty much exactly how I imagined you'd look. I approve heartily.
-
Not even the third pic Tru has posted of himself this year.
-
Nope the second. Linked only.
Three and four are hidden in that thread somewhere.
-
Tru, don't read into things too much.
Your beard is epic. I was hoping it was real.
And yes, this is how Ive pictured you for years.

LOL, Oki Doki Geek. Yeah it's real for sure but like I mentioned, I did trim it a bit shorter for the summer.
