The older I get, the more important variety becomes. Sometimes cleanshaven, sometimes not. The sides are only a month old, the rest has been around a while just now.

Why is it that i can find the time to shave my legs and not my face.. oh ya smooth legs are sexy and so is a beard

 

[oldskoolm4]

i shave everywhere, so why not the face too? maybe beardies don't maintain their property. FLAME AWAY!

Maybe someone is pissed 'cause they can't grow a full beard

It's all about mixing things up a little. For about 8 years I sported the goatee without a stash. Then I got bored and grew a full beard for the winter. Summer hit and I went back to the stashless goat. That got boring again so I went to a fu manchu with some big chops. That lasted a few months until I needed to look more business like for awhile. Currently I'm going with the 24/7 5 o'clock shadow. I'm trying to figure out what to do next.

Goatee at minimum since '94. Sometimes it's short, sometimes long, sometimes a full beard. Since my scalp is folically challenged I've gotta balance it with facial hair or I'll look like Uncle Fester

Hate shaving

I can't seem to shave without cutting myself. My wife doesn't mind the beard. Also, I work in a chemistry lab-us science types have a long history of beards.

This has been a very enlightening thread. I never expected so much response.

I'm also surprised more of the bearded bretheren haven't posted their beards. So we can see if we're talking about the scraggly amish beard, the well trimmed 'evil goat', the rough and ready 'norris', or even the godawful unix guru beard.

And BTW-I am physically unable to grow a beard. For some reason I can't get more than chin pubes and a weak stache. My dad sports a full 'norris' but I didn't get those genes. Thats ok, even when I was single none of the wimmins liked beards anyway.

I think you all misunderstood the question. An "MTB'er beard" is a woman that a mountain biker marries in order to keep up societal appearances, thus hiding his inner lust for nothing but sweet singletrack and shiny new components.
