Facial Hair

[Lawrence]

I think I am the opposite of soul patch I like sporting my mutton chops.

 

[Macfan]

Since retiring, yes, but primarily because during my time in the military and working years I developed a strong dislike for shaving. Now, I let it all grow and cut it all when I get a haircut about every 6 -8 weeks or so. Sweet wife does my hair, face, ears, eyebrows and toe nails, wait 6 - 8 weeks and repeat . Don...

 

[Ronni]

Ron has facial hair. (see my profile pic) I love it!! I love men with facial hair. All my boys (4) have some level of facial hair.

Sadly so do I since menopause!

While the hair on my legs, under my arms and private areas has decreased, upper lip hair and the occasional lone chin hair have increased.

I use an epilator on legs, underarms, upper lip, and the occasional chin hair. Other areas of growth my husband takes care of.

I have a lovely white mustache and semi beard. I'm so proud of them

 

[Gaer]

I adore full mustaches on men, with the "soul patch", "goatee" or a "full, TRIMMED beard."
Remember Sean Connery's geometrically shaped beard? Sexy!
But,
I don't understand why a man would shave any other part of his body.
(or wear cosmetics) That seems so feminine! Be natural!

 

[Right Now]

Huh, how about that? I never heard the term soul patch before. When describing a gent who has that little bit, I say he has a bit of scruff under his lip.
I think I'll keep using my description, as others in my group may not have heard that term, either.

Ron doesn’t manscape. I don’t think any of my boys do either.

But one of my boys sometimes wears a bit of eye makeup when he goes clubbing with his woman. I think it makes him look fantastic!!

Got any? I have a mustache to cover a scar on my upper lip. Got any, gents? Ladies are optional.

I thought i posted already in this thread....
Anyway I keep a bit of a mustache(#2 or 3 clipper) and the rest gets taken down to a #1(approx. 1/8") every couple weeks. I don't like dragging razor sharp objects across my face anymore, but the main reason for keeping a bit of short scruff is to disguise the spider veins I've been sprouting on my cheeks & chin.

Let's just say that wearing a mask for 2 years has helped.

 

[Blessed]

I love it too! The mask covers a multitude of issues. I look quite funny as I get botox in the forehead for migraines so the rest of my face looks like I am melting.

 

[Jace]

Salvador Dali, the Spanish surrealist artist,
was almost as well known for his crazy mustache as his paintings
He often wore it groomed into long "tails" that curled upwards.

 

[debodun]

I keep on old lady hair patrol with a close-up mirror and tweezers. I don't let them get out of hand. A woman I used to deliver meals to had long stray hairs that looked like curb feelers. I wanted to grab them and yank them off her face, but that would be assault.

 

[jimintoronto]

When I was younger and dating....I said I wouldn't go out with a woman who had a better mustache than I did. JimB.

 

[Don M.]

Long, scraggly beards seem to be the current "fad" among so many of the men in our area. I would think that this excess facial hair would be rather uncomfortable in this heat.

 

[squatting dog]

Here's the last time I didn't have a beard.

 

[Pappy]

I would love to grow my salt and pepper beard again, but it’s just to darn hot here in Florida. Plus, my lady prefers a clean face. In cold NY winters I always had a full beard. Lousy photo, but only one I could find with a beard.

 

[Been There]

The only hair that I grow is on top of my head.

 

[Ronni]

Devin has the most facial hair of my 4 boys. He’s always preferred a full beard. He says it’s because he’s just too lazy to shave

 

[hawkdon]

For about 3 yrs I've been having all my head hair cut down
to about 1/4th inch...then it returns and I get it done again...I
got tired of trying to keep it looking "decent"....wish all the head and facial hair was gone.....

 

[Dr. Jekyll]

<-- Just had the goatee as represented here for quite a long time now. When we got married I had the most awful (in retrospect) full beard.
Once, for a community theater production, I let it all grow again and had my barber shape it into a full mutton chop situation - that was a lot of fun.

 

[jujube]

Back in the 70's, my former brother-in-law was trying to grow a luxurious set of mutton chops with only minimal success.

At his and my sister's wedding, his uncle, a very "country" person came up to him and loudly said, "Mah God, boy, what is wrong with you ? Yer face looks like a goat's crotch!!!"

It did.....it really did.

 

[Fritz]

after menopause i acquired more peach fuzz on my face. i already had some because i shaved my face when i was a little girl and made mom mad. so every so often i use nair on it. in between there's the old lady fluff and pluck of those whiskers that appear overnight and they're instantly an inch long. lol!

i just did a much needed de-hair today. feels much better. i worked with a lady once who actually shaved like a man. she had stubble. *shudders*

 

[mrstime]

I keep threatening to shave my upper lip, but end up plucking. My bodily hair is gone, so my head and face is the only place I grow hair! ARRG!!!
