Seems like all the fashionistas are now sporting chin fungus, have the 70’s been revived? Is it now socially acceptable to sport a beard without being seen as an outcast or pervert?

I may shave in protest

In general yes, however don’t worry, your one is still horribly unfashionable. 🙂

No. IMHO.

For a couple of years at least, hipsters started and then going more main stream.

Just attention seekers 😛

Only if you are about 25

I know who I hold responsible for it. Among other things they’ll one day be held to account for once I’m running everything. Not long now.

I grow a beard every few weeks and then shave it off. So I’m either half fashionable, or half unfashionable.

Yes and have been for a while apprantly, thankfully it’s spring so my one was shaved off a month or so ago and they will be out of fashion by the time it gets cold enough that I need to grow another one 😉

Depends on the beard type

Beards are pretty cool I think

No–unless you’re Santa and it’s Christmas (even Santa shaves in the off season)

Binners, I’m happy to report I have no idea who the chaps in your pic are

Give me a clue

They were “in” but are now on the way back “out” again. Do keep up.

which one of those is you bin man?

Mumford and Sons rocketdog

Binners loves them

Ah, yes pseudo-folk another band wagon that’s currently overcrowded

Is the one in the middle daddy mumford? on the borderline between beard and excessive stubble though really arn’t they?

the middle left one’s just made a joke about the one on the right having a little one, the middle right one is laughing, the one on the right is laughing but secretly sad because he does a small inadequate one and the one on the very left is thinking ‘I’ve got a great manly one’
…beard that is.

Don’t forget flat caps.
Can’t fart in Ancoats without offending some semi-bearded cap wearing simian.

I’ve not been so cutting edge since flares came back the first time.

Only if you are about 25

27 and I’m currently rockin’ a deeply unfashionable Grizzly Addams number. Usualy it’s a winter beard, but I’m thinking it might stay for the rest of the year this time.

I see no beards? A bit of stubble, but no beard.

Back of the net.

Emsz.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but you don’t exactly speak for all of woman kind. 😉 The scruffy beardy types whom the meeja have taken a liking for, do in the real world go home alone.

You’re both! But I can’t fathom out which is which. When you are or when you aren’t 😀

I’ve no problem with beards. What I WOULD like to see back are big moustaches. Then I’m in.

no idea

if fashion is me then I win

Hora, like this:

Or this:

Beards are so two years ago.

Quite a good looking dude when he was younger. Thats the power of the moustache you see.

Need to be kept clean and tidy. Z Z Top look is not good. Some beards can look hot. 😀

Just been perving Googling for hot men with beards and they’re in short supply. Even George Clooney looks scary with one!

Moustache – Tom Selleck!

I’d say they were in a while ago but now on the way out

Pretty hot for an old geezer:

I had one for years and shaved it off on Tuesday, as everywhere I looked there were men younger than me (wouldnt be hard) with expansive facial hair. I’m officially awkward.

😆

Can I do my joke again?
If **** gives you hairy palms who did you get your beard?
I once said this to a patch holder in a bikers pub after he took the piss out of me in my cycling gear.
Luckily he laughed.

Soks Jr (21) sports a beard. For that reason, I’m out.

Even in the stringent old school, old boy, old Harrovian types I work with are starting to adorn a full (all be it immaculately trimmed) bushy face. Ok so it’s in Shiney Town where you can see Hoxton tube station from our 30th floor but for sure the hairy face is here for about 4 more years until the Hoxton types get promotions and the world changes once again.

Beards are always cool, even when they’re not ‘in’.

Do you wash yours Mike?

I’m quite liking bearded blokes. I Blame sons of anarchy!

Do you wash yours Mike?

It’s in the vicinity of the shower when I have a shower.
