This is an exciting time for me personally, specifically in relation to my face and the hairs on it. Having just hit 30, I now finally feel (with confidence) that given a fortnight, I could probably grow a passable beard. From ear to ear. Since the days of pubis, I've had a decent growth in the 'tache area, and down to the chin and throat. My sideburns never really got going, my cheeks were sparse. Now, I feel I'm nearly there. It's a cruel twist of fate really as just as my facial-hair prowess seems to be building up a head of steam, my head has decided to trash the party by sprouting an ever growing clutch of greys. My hair is not dropping out, thankfully (I still possess a luscious thatch) but it has a decent amount of whites swooshing through the waves. What can you do eh? I actually think they look quite good, as it goes. Anyway, last week, whilst unshaved for a bit and looking like a trendy bit of ass who might be going for a Latte and scone at Thieving Harrys while designing tattoos on my laptop - I noticed about 5 separate greys on my chin too. Who'd-a thunk it? What I'm saying is, I could grow a beard now with a couple of little grey patches in there, along with a bit of grey in my nice fringe. Combine that with my chiseled and symmetrical face, and I actually think I'd look the ****ing bomb. Can't wait. From here to eternity. Thanks.
Party, you deluded fool. Grey beard= old ****. I'm 42 and there isn't a grey in sight. I look like a young George Berry, you probably look like Jim Royal. Shave the bastard off, best advice you'll get this year.
I'm one of those types that inexplicably has flecks of ginger running through their beard. Not a hint of ginge sprouting anywhere else. Just the facial hair. Weird.
I was just about to post that although my beard may be a salt'n'pepper mash up, at least there's no ginger in it. But out of respect for H,H&H I won't. I would never want to offend anybody.
Much appreciated Ernie, but I've come to terms with my affliction. You can't let these things rule your life.
Mine looks **** and scraggly after two weeks. Maybe I'd have the confidence to grow a full beard if I lived in Finnmark where no **** could bother me and/or make fun of my beard.
Christ man, get with the programme! "Clearly upon us" and "gathering pace"?!! They've been proliferating for 4 or 5 years now! I'm sick of seeing the ****ers, especially in tandem with the slicked back hair and full sleeve tattoo. I usually have a few days worth of stubble on, but I went the whole hog last summer and grew it out to a full beard; it was then that I realised how many other ****ers had them. I actually found myself muttering inwardly along the lines of "Oh, for ****'s sake, not another twat with a beard..." whilst actually sporting one myself. You know it's time to get rid when you reach this stage.
