How much facial hair have you got?

[Pumpkin]

Not sure if this has been asked before.

As I was sitting enjoying my lunch-time pipe and people watching (the Edinburgh Festival is in full swing), it occurred to me to wonder how much facial hair the noble gents of B&B can muster?

Personally, I'm clean shaven (apart from an occasional lapse) much to Mrs Pumpkin's pleasure :thumbup1:

[LukeDuke]

I'll check in with a goatee. Mrs. LukeDuke requires it! :tongue_sm

[jholme9]

Clean shaven here

[DE Shaver]

I'm definitely clean shaven.

[Zephyr]

At the moment a moustache, but had a goatee for many years, and will probably return to that.
SWMBO demands some facial hair.

[jholme9]

"I wonder what it's like to shave with Occam's razor."

:lol: That's some funny stuff, DE Shaver! (It also makes me feel like a nerd because I think that's funny)

[Cyclocat]

Goatee....

[talibeard]

And yet another goatee; take it off once a year just for fun.

[LinuxMintyFresh]

Goatee. I assume that is represented by "Beard" and "Moustache."


By the way, "I'm a Lady!" does not equal "I have no facial hair!" I mean, I've seen some ladies rockin' some pretty gnarly 'staches, and one or two that could knock me down a couple notches in a chin-hair growing contest. C'mon girls, be honest...

[TheRuckus13]

I -have- to be clean shaven, because I can't grow a beard. I get mass growth on my neck but my cheeks, chin, and mustache area barely grow. So unless I want a neck beard I have to shave. If I could grow a full on beard shaving wouldn't even be a hobby.

[svarog]

soul patch here, for about 10 years I think... and sideburns from this year.

:badger:

[GoldenBacon]

Sideburns as of late, going to eventually go for muttonchops.:thumbup1:

[raserman]

Clean shaven likewise.

[dichdiggr]

Clean Shaven.

[pauls51]

Since discovering DE wet shaving; I have been clean for almost a year now!

[maxman]

soul patch.
oh yeah.

[AJMiami]

goatee...which is clean shaven every week or so

[calcustom]

Clean shaven

[bossdog79]

'stace, goatee and sideburn to bout mid ear (when I haven't shaved my head in a week or so)

[Swampfox]

Moustache and more of a true goatee (not the round beard).

[kg4ghn]

goatee

[GDCarrington]

Moustache and a goatee.

[Pumpkin]

Once I started writing the poll I realised there were several permutations possible...so I made it multi-choice :thumbup:

Which also covers your second query! :lol:

[Mr Whiskers]

Moustache and a goatee.

+1. This is what is on my face right now. The goat may come and go, but the moustache always stays.

[Pumpkin]

Congratulations on reaching the 1K mark! :thumbup:

I'm considering mutton-chops...but Mrs P might think that's a step too far towards "old codger" after my recent pipe acquisitions! :lol:

[King Bongo]

At the moment I'm sporting some large sideburns, and what I have heard referrd to as a "Soul Patch" - little bit under the bottom lip. But things change often and frequently.

[dmachine]

Clean shaven.

[ackvil]

Clean shaven, just as Mrs. Ackvil likes it. :tongue_sm

[HoosierTrooper]

Full Van Dyke, so I clicked "other".

[D/E Bob]

Mustache for the last 40 years. Shaved it off about 5 months ago (that lasted all of 3 weeks), the wife & kids gave me hell so I grew it back. The real reason I grew it back is because I DID NOT RECOGNIZE MYSELF when I looked in he mirror!!!

[Masterblaster]

It's been a couple days since I've shaved.

[luvmysuper]

I have a mustache, but only because there isn't enough hair on the side of my head for a comb over.

[Timbit]

Clean shaven, including the noggin :thumbup1:

[GoVegan]

I have a mustache. I would love to have a bushy walrus type mustache but ti probably wouldn't go over to well at work.

[Xezmer]

I keep a "chin beard". I don't know the actual name for it. It's not huge and thick, but certainly present. It helps me stand out amongst my high schooler mates.

And I still get to have my shaving fun, every day. I always have noticeable stubble to shave every day. Not bad for my age, i'd say. I'm enjoying it!

[salisburyyates]

Clean shaven, though I do have really short sideburns that go to about the middle of the way down my ear. I don't know if that counts as sideburns though.

[Mr. Imperial]

Though I've been clean-shaven, had sideburns, had mutton-chops, had a goatee, and had a full beard, my usual state is sideburns that extend to the jaw line.

[hoslerd]

I have a Goatee, no sideburns.

[DanOK]

I wear a Van Dyke. Use to grow in a beard for hunting season but enjoy shaving to much now. Did buy a Camo Full Face Neoprene Face Mask as it can get very brutal duck hunting in the winter.

[ProfMike]

Normally clean shaven, but I'm sporting a few days stubble since I've spent the last couple days off just goofing around with my brother and nephew before my brother leaves again on deployment with the Navy. Over the years I've tried side burns, goatee, soul patch, full beard, etc... and I look horrible with any of that!! After switching over to wet shaving two tears ago, I realized that I had been trying to justify a style that would let me skip shaving for as long as possible.

[Uncle Erik]

Used to be completely cleanshaven, but have grown sideburns to the middle of my ears. Maybe that qualifies as cleanshaven, though they're a change for me.

[natchez]

I sport a mustache.:001_smile

[skembomatt]

I've worn a goatee of varing shapes, since college (save the 6 years of military time)

[luvmysuper]

So did Freddie Blassie.

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

[DamnFineBob]

I have definate sideburns, bu they are just shorter than the bottom of my ear, so I voted "other".

[wolfmanxiii]

:lol:
Normally I just wear a long goatee (goatee in the sense of no mustache). I've heard this called an emperor's goatee FWIW.

But, SWMBO recently asked me to go to a steam punk convention with her, so for my costume I decided to grow mutton chops out as well. :lol:

I know, strange things, but I do strange things for her.

I would look funny with mutton chops, with my lack of hair and all. :blink:

Pretty much.

[mretzloff]

I have no facial hair. My sideburns stop at my earlobe.

[petertschantz]

mustache and goatee, although I am considering a change. I would love to go with a handlebar, but SWMBO doesn't think that will work. She voted for a fu manchu. Still pondering...

[mrmoonbeam]

At the moment I have a goatee, but I'm growing in side burns, intending to shave off the goat.
It all depends on my mood.
I change every few months, so sometimes I'm clean shaven, while I'll have the Grizzly Adams look at others.
I have enough facial hair to be able to wear all these different styles, so I've always felt it my duty to those with 6 gangly chin hairs, to grow it out with some style :thumbup1:

[Dennard]

Beard for me.

[MOVIESTAR]

Clean shaven

[guitar2mw]

Full, 3 inch long beard and 'stache here. I've worn some type of facial hair since high school. Started with a goatee and 'stache, and went to a full beard about 3 or 4 years ago. I usually go back to the goat/'stache combo in the summer, but this year I decided to leave the full beard. I shave my neck though. It has to be BBS at all times :biggrin1:

[mcmulvaney]

Moustache and 'round beard'. It's there in part because it makes my chubby face a little slimmer looking (sigh...)

Mike

[VampyreWolf]

Normally have a day or two of growth going, only because I can pull it off.

[ddaley212]

usually im clean shaven, but i decided to grow out my beard for a lil bit. just to see if i can handle it lol. also i used to have a goatee for awhile

[zacharydz]

I'm clean shaven for the moment. I periodically grow beards, but I invariably shave them off after several months. I want to grow a beard à la Czar Nicholas II (short, but full beard with a fairly large handlebar mustache). I can't quite pull that one off for the time being (will have to wait a few years, i suppose), and thus I'm clean shaven. :001_rolle

[feedsasquatch]

I'm generally clean shaven except for when I'm lazy. Well, as clean shaven as my Mach 3 has let me be anyways:glare:

[Everett529]

Generally pretty clean shaven for me. Sideburns stay around for a while, then inevitably get shaved off and grown again. Its a vicious cycle!

[firehydrant]

Clean shaven.

Work will allow a mustache but TWGW doesn't care for them.

[Jim]

I have a full beard...but I keep it short- real short:lol:

[Sirius3]

Clean shaven, anything less makes me look like a scruffy hobo.

[Saturn]

Clean shaven, anything less makes me look like a scruffy hobo.

That's true of a lot of guys, I think. Many of the men I see who attempt to wear goatees or mustaches or other facial hair just end up looking absurd and would be better off going clean shaven. Some can pull it off, though. Like cowboys.

[jansob]

Full beard, but neatly trimmed.

[birnando]

Absolutely no hair above the shoulders.
It's all chopped down every single day.

[jpmac55]

I wear a goatee most of the year but shaved it off just after getting the DE bug. Not sure if I'll grow another this winter.

[Catalin]

Clean shaven now. Shaved off my soul patch 3 weeks ago....

[SafetyRazorDave]

I'm clean shaven. I used to sport a goatee but I find it just feels nice to have a totally shaven face. I frequently go a few days without shaving and don't mind being stubbly, but it's always a pleasure to shave all off. :laugh:

[workingdog]

Clean shaven here

Now that the grey hairs have made an appearance the unshaven look isnt quite the same as it was 20 years ago

[Drybonz]

Before my wetshaving days started (recently) I usually had a full beard in various stages of trimming... now, clean shaven. :)

[Shangas]

Cleanshaven here.

[El Judio Bravo]

Since I switched to DE razors I've shaved off my mustache and regrown it once. I'm back to clean for now. Next month? :whistling:

[chris456]

Goatee and mustache here. I look like a kid if I am clean shaven.

[tom66]

other, close cropped goatee.

[ngollehe]

Goatee. No 'stache

[bradyarz]

depending on when you catch me, i've had most of those and then some:
-clean shaven
-goatees of various lengths (with and without stache)
-chin strap
-full beard (from 1/4" up to 3")
-sideburns
-wolverine/fezzik chops
-plain stache
-the ambrose burnside civil war chop-stache
-handlebar with full 360 curl
-fumanchu
-etc

i currently have a 1" goatee with stache, but i'm feeling a nice fu coming on in the upcoming weeks. :thumbup:

[O.G.]

I leave a little hair on my face that I try to keep with sharp angled lines. I have a round face so the angular cut give my face more definition. I tried clean shaven and I just don't like it at all. My hair grows slow and shaving everyday is not the best for curly hair so. I read that a good straight razor shave should last two days so I shave every other day. I also have sideburns to balance the face. Symmetry is the goal.

[planto]

Mrs. Planto likes either clean shaven or full beard nothing in between.

[warriorsociologist]

Clean -- but I used to sport a goatee back in college.

[profsaffel]

Goatee here.

Oh, and just because you are a lady does not disqualify you from having facial hair. ;-)
