Do you sport a beard, moustache or other ridiculous facial hair?
The war is so depressing, it seems time for a violent argument about some trivial matter of taste.

The questions concerning facial hair are: do you have it? Do you think it is elegant or neanderthal to do so? Have you worn a beard and then shaved it off in shame when you realised you looked like a complete ****?

For the record I have a small and well trimmed goatee-tache combination in gingerish brown with blond streaks. I like it, it gives me something socially acceptable to scratch in public.

Unfortunately, I don't have a pic of me w/beard to share.

I've heard that many times on Apolyton now, and I assure you you're very wrong. I've been shaving daily since I was 14, started shaving at 12.

I can grow facial hair very very easily, it just looks so terribly wrong on me (which is why everyone insists I'm not able to grow it -- I'm too babyfaced )

Being babyfaced is usually cited as the main reason for growing it. I had a friend when I was young who couldn't wait to grow a beard to hide his just like his dad did.

At this point, my goatee is nearly a foot long (.3M). Next week my moustache will be trimmed & waxed for an opera I'm in.

Here's my attempt at facial hair - is it legitimate, or just lazy shaving?

Of course, but that proof is never going to occur because it looks so bad on me, I don't want to look like it. Not to mention people would just insist I photoshopped it anyway.

If you need to shave every day, wouldn't a close up of you at night show a good deal of stubble?

He never said he needed to shave every day, just that he does.

My 3-year old nephew shaves every day, too, with his little plastic toy barber's kit.

I don't shave every day and I still show at least some black hairs on the bottom of my chin a few hours after I shave.

If Asher is some powerhouse this should be no problem for him.

The funny thing about this is that I got Asher's input on hairy arses a couple weeks ago.

You see, Zylka was suggesting I go into porn and I was wondering about the attractiveness of something.

I waxed and wanned between clean shaven and proto beard all through college. In the last quarter of college, during the 3 weeks i wrote my thesis, i did't shave and thus got a full ebard and moustache. I think they frae my face rather well, so I have kept the full package.

not yet being 18, i don't got to worry too much about facial hair. I can't grow hair on the side of my face as yet so i cant grow a full beard. I got a little bit of hair at my top lip and chin though. i never shave

at the moment, i'm rather clean shaven, which is pretty damn good for me.

i'm just lazy. i don't care about facial hair, but sometimes i'll be sporting a half-assed goatee and a "sanchez" mustache (just stubble really, not the sexual term, you dolt).

i also had sideburns for a while but I didnt know they are really classless and ugly.
