Beard

[Modeler]

I grew a mighty FMLA beard, but I had to shave it yesterday before I went back to work. Lame.

My wife hates facial hair on me. I recently grew a soul patch which I really liked. I thought it looked good on me. Wife didn't like it. I eventually shaved it off.

As for a full beard- can't grow one. Had an accident as a kid and had to have some plastic surgery on my face. As a result, I cannot grown hair on the scar area. *Sad*

I hate shaving!

I think beards are more acceptable than long hair.

Long hair and beards are tactically bad. If you ever have to grapple with someone, the LAST thing you want is any kind of hair long enough for someone to grab hold of and start pulling.

Take care of the problem before it gets to that point.

I do, that's why my chest, back, and rump are securely covered up at all times!

I stopped shaving in September and not gonna shave until the equinox in March. Been doing that for a few years now. It's just kinda my thing. The wife says she likes it now that its soft. But I help that along by using her hair conditioner in the shower.

God made a few perfect faces the rest he told them to shave cause they weren't manly lookin...
As far as long hair is concerned God made a few perfect heads, the rest he put hair on!!!

OP - I'm facing the same issue. About to leave the "blue collar" side and take a position in the "white collar" side within the same realm of work. I'm going to trim it down and completely shave if it's an issue but it's going to be painful. I say beard that sh!t up!

On the other hand you don't screw with a dude who looks like Charles Manson

I'll bet that behind your beard (about where your chin should be) is another fist!

I couldn't agree more. I have four young children, so that's not cheap. But the amount of stress I carry is literally killing me. My thoughts get very bad sometimes. If you know what I mean..

I was going to keep my mouth shut but sometimes it's better to open it. Children not be cheap but any pay check is better than than the SSI check they send to widows with children. No amount of money is worth that amount of stress. I'm sure your kids would agree.

Now that's pretty funny.

Grew mine when I developed a double chin. Easier not to shave then exercise and diet.
