The "Unshaven" Fad Looks Ridiculous...Do You Agree?

Just turned my foot long white goatee into two foot long white mustache extensions. Will eventually grow them long enough to keep my belly warm.... Then I can braid them and put beads in them and move to a state with legal pot so I can fit in......:partytime:
 
I like your goatee Hal. Wish I could grow a decent goatee and mustache but will probably have to just use a glue on or stick on.
 

I, too, have the gray moustache and goatee. After years of shaving in the military, I let the facial hair grow. I thought about a full beard, but I have gaps below the sideburns, so the chin whiskers suffice. I tend to agree with you about walking around with a "4 day" growth....it does look rather unkempt.
 
Some can pull it off. I think his excuse was the San Francisco earthquake. :playful: :cool: :)

I prefer that "half way in, I forgot to shave a couple days" look over the full fledged beard. The beards like those men on Duck Dynasty wear would make me run 100 MPH in the opposite direction. No way would I ever date a man who looked like that if I were single (which I am not). Yours is fine HiDesertHal, you may keep it. :) :)
 
You look like a real Gent Hal, well done.

I do agree that the "I didn't shave this morning" brigade look
lazy, just couldn't be bothered.

My Barber started not shaving a while back, I told him that
he looked scruffy, which he did, I also told him that he has
to be a "product of his product" and that as he is trying to
make people look better, so he should lead by example.
He started shaving again.

I have a beard which has gone grey, although my hair mostly retained it's original colour. It just needs the occasional trim to keep it neat.
One thing that annoys me is the difficulty of buying proper double edged razor blades. It's all these ponsy multi blade heads in lightweight razors - just can't get on with them. When my trusty Winkinsons Sword razor packed up, I had bother trying to find a suitable replacement. I now order blades in packs of 50 from Amazon, and that keeps me going for ages. I've also got a traditional badger hair shaving brush - must be near 50 years old.
 
Well, I'm glad that you all agree with me, and I thank those who complimented me on my Goatee!

At nearly 81, I have never used a razor to shave! Even in the Army, I used my battery-powered Remington!

Yes...Clark was a a bit too busy to shave that day!

Unless one is covering up a facial blemish, facial hair is simply an ego trip.

You don't keep looking in the mirror all day; you do it to show off to others.

Maybe 100 years ago it was the "in" thing then, but not now.

It's easier to shave every thing than be picky about shaving around your cute little facial hair thingy.

In MY opinion.
 
It doesn't bother me to see the scruffy look, I mostly saw that on young men that were models in magazines some years ago, don't see much of it every day. My husband has been everything from clean shaven, to mustache only, and mustache and short beard which he's had for years now, and my preference. But if he shaved it all off, he'd still be handsome and I'd love him just as much. :love_heart: He uses the old fashioned single edge metal razors, and years ago used an electric.

Iodine, I agree with you on the Duck Dynasty beards, I wouldn't date any of those guys either, but the beard might be the last reason. :p
 
I too sport a silver Goatee and Moustache. I used to grow a seasonal beard as is the custom in the Northeast before hunting season. Started in October and would shave around March. Towards the last few years of work the kids at the elementary school I delivered to called me the "Santa Claus mailman".

I will go a day or two without shaving if I am not leaving the house, but otherwise it is an after shower shave with an old fashion double edge safety razor and mug soap.
 
Okay, all joking aside......I've had a trimmed mustache since my early twenties.

I've got nothing against a full, neatly trimmed beard....I've tried growing a beard a few times but it comes in kinda thin in places (like the pic above in the side burn & cheek area) which looks kinda scraggly to me so I always shave it off.
