    Twice a week with a trimmer. Or proper shave for the occasional important meeting.

    Also. How do beardy blokes get on with swimming, or lack thereof.

    I mean, obviously you can’t go swimming because you’ll get arrested.

    Do you shave emsz?

    No, but I would if she asked nicely.

    Anyway, beards are for chinless wonders. Us chaps with a good strong jawline don’t need to hide behind a mask. Shave everyday, me.

    I manage about once a week at the moment. Should shave more often, but can’t be bothered.

    I usually leave it until it gets to that itchy, scratchy neck stage…

    A strong jawline looks much worse shaved:

    Guys and shaving:

    Stubble – yes
    Clean shaven – yes
    Beards – no (sorry, really doesn’t appeal from this girl’s perspective 🙂 Obviously if you’re married and hirsuit in the facial department I assume your wife has a different opinion to mine!)

    I used to have a “shower shave” every Monday morning, but have been a beardy since doing a January Beard thing on here a few years ago.

    I use a trimmer on #2 to shorten it every month or so, so alternate between stubbly and beardy.

    Today’s a charity “Back To School” fancy dress day at work, so last night I broke out the clippers and turned by beard into a Mo’, to match the tweed jacket and pipe. My daughter was disappointed, as she much prefers me beardy, and the wife has given me strict instructions to lose the ‘tache as soon as I get in from work.

    I’m a bit blonde, so had to use the trimmer on #1 to make the mo’ show. Once I make the top lip match, I’ll be the least beardy I have been for years.

    I don’t and I’m glad to see the back of it. Not had a wet shave for years, I just clipper my stubble every few days.

    Thats me that is..

    Thing is lots of men with beards try to make out that they don’t care…trying too hard. Plus you look like you’ve spent the night behind the bins at Tesco

    Truly don’t care, and it’s not about trying too hard, it’s about can’t be arsed.

    What you should really be concerned about is those chaps who spend all that time each morning trying to get their face to look like an adolescent boy’s. Really sus mob…

    OMG someone arrest that serial killer with the moustache before it’s too late.. 🙂

    My old gran told me… never trust a man with a beard..

    And I can now add to that..

    Never trust a woman with one either..

    I have had a goatie for about 10 years now, mainly as the skin on my chin is very sensitive and tends to razor rash very easily. Shave every week day, which is a lot quicker not having to do around the mouth, but also use the beard trimmer on the head too. I do shave the beard off over few months though, currently it’s pretty luxuriant 🙂

    Cheers, Rich

    Don’t see the point of goatees or the other more amusing beard/mo styles. Worst of both worlds still have to shave and still look well dodgy.

    oh, nearly forgot

    If I’m going for the clean shaven route, I’d need to shave twice a day!

    The easiest for me is a goatee shave….no cream / gel, just water and a rat around my gob.

    Problem I have is, when the beard starts to grow, there is a disticnt likeness to Mr Ripper 🙁

    Now, where’ve I parked my lorry?

    How do beardy blokes get on with swimming,

    Girls and shaving:

    I’ve always felt that if I’m in a position to find out then I’m not in a position to complain.

    Don’t see the point of goatees

    Mine covers up a scar; not that I’m bothered about hiding the scar particularly, but it’s a nightmare to shave around so far easier just to let the grass grow around it a little.

    Hate shaving but hate having a beard more.

    Don’t get on with electric razors so I wet shave Monday, Wednesday & Friday and then if we’re going somewhere posh on Saturday.

    Looked into laser hair removal but it doesn’t work on Grey hair so I’d end up with gray patches. Electrolysis scares me.

    Have a clean shave about once a week.

    I’m hoping to get a stubble trimmer off Santa so I don’t need to bother.

    Not shaved for about 3 years and use a beard trimmer maybe once or twice a week. Never gets to what I would consider a beard, more stubble but it’s a fine line.

    Hate shaving so only do it once every 3-4 weeks. Have to a use new single bladed Bic evert time as they clog up with the long stubble!

    😆

    So true though. I have proper tough dark facial hair, and really need to shave daily to stay smooth, but I only bnother every 3 days or so if I can be bothered. Unless I’m going out in public. 😀 Most of the time I look like I’ve spent the night behind the bins at LiDLs (Tescos too posh for me innit?).

    S’a faff, innit? And as the OP points out, irritates the skin.

    Tried one of they lectric shavers, but after only a few months the blades became quite worn due to my extra-tough facial hair, and then just pulled at the hairs too much one morning proper caught me was right painful lobbed the thing at the wall. 😳

    make out that they don’t care

    I don’t! my face fulfils the function of stopping all the wet bits falling out the front of my head.

    I’m a dog rough old monster that makes Sloth from the goonies look like a model and nothing will change it so I pay no attention to it. 😀

    I shave when I need to wear full face RPE or BA kits but other than that have a range of stubble to monster goatees

    Haven’t shaved since, oh the early nineties.

    I managed to rip open my upper lip whilst rapidly exiting a motorbike in my youth and had a skin graft/plastic surgery and I was slicing a little bit of the scar tissue every time so I stopped.

    I don’t have a full zee-zee beard, I just trim every month when I’m clippering the head.

    Oh and I don’t have to beard to hide the lack of a chin, more the plethora of ’em… 😳

    Oh, and the beard used to be ginger (in bits a real mongrel item) but is more snow white than anything these days… 😳 😳

    I’m fortunate, I’ve reached my third decade and don’t have to worry too much about shaving – blessed with being blonde and slow growing hair-wise. I can leave it a week and have less stubble than some of my mates get in a day, but it does become a porn muzzy and half a goatee so it gets shaved fairly regularly, but strictly to keep it looking acceptable – I have no interest in having ” a look” or being fashionable – I just dislike having fur but dislike shaving it more. Sometimes I’ll part shave it just because a full shave will be a pain in the bum and too time consuming. God by the time it reaches about 5mm long it’s tickling the hell out of my face, catches on everything, catches everything and makes me look like a tramp.

    A strong jawline looks much worse shaved:

    What if you like a strong jaw line? Surely it looks much better shaved then?

    My husband has a thick black beard and I thought I’d hate it but to be honest it grew on me and now I really rather like it now ive got used to the tickling. So all in all he’s pretty hairy, I however shave just about everything other than my head 🙂

    No way, I haven’t shaved yet this week :p

    Actually to say I shave is incorrect, I epilate rather than shave.

    Fred you’ll get it as much as me how irritating it is when anyone who looks a little different from the norm is described as “trying to hard”.

    I bet emsz aspires to look as bland as dido FFS.

    Once a week if i’m lucky. Been known to leave it for up to 2 month this year. Shaving evey day is a pain, literally. A shave after you have had a beard for a while feels great!

    Fred you’ll get it as much as me how irritating it is when anyone who looks a little different from the norm is described as “trying to hard”.

    When I had me Mohican, I was accused of having a ‘mid-life crisis’.

    Which is true! 😀

    Don’t care though.

    Don’t think Emsz meant owt too nasty or critical really, and tbh, if some of the ponces down here are anything to go by, some beard-growing is a bit ‘trying too hard’.

    I know where she’s coming from with that, I have to say. But I don’t think she meant ALL men are ‘trying too hard’ but actually thinking about it she’s probbly right you know; us men do tend to ‘try a bit too hard’ quite a bit. 😆
