Facial hair

[dc804]

Hey people. What do you think is cooler, mustaches, or beards? I prefer beards.

For the guys: What would you prefer to have?
For the girls: What do you find sexier?

It's about time we settle mustache vs beard. Beards are cooler in my opinion, but I don't have facial hair yet, but I would settle for whatever comes first.

[CrossEyed7]

I want muttonchops, but I'm probably going to need some Rogaine if I want them to work.

[Bigluigifan1.0]

I probably won't be one to have a beard, but shorter facial hair is something I aspire to obtain within a few weeks.

...I wonder if Rogaine works on your face...

[Lizard Dude]

I voted beard because mustaches have the bad habit of getting in your mouth and also making it really hard to just shove your face cleanly into an Arby's roast beef sandwich with cheese.

[CrossEyed7]

From what I've read, it does work for most people, but because of the differences between facial and cranial follicles, there's a chance it'll go systemic and make your hair thicker everywhere. Also, if it does work, and facial hair starts growing that didn't grow before, you might want to dye it darker with Just For Men or something.

[Stephzie]

I'm trying to grow a beard, myself.


....


I don't really like neither, honestly. I like my men clean shavin.

[Glorb]

I'm torn. I've been attempting to grow a Gordon Freeman-esque goatee, to no avail; I just end up looking like a scruffy neckbeard geek no matter what I do to it. I've also been told I look much better just clean-shaven, but I personally disagree.

I was told that Rogaine makes hair grow intensely on your face if you apply it too near to your face.

Honestly, it depends on the guy. I like a bearded guy, considering that it actually grows nicely on his face.

[Chupperson Weird]

Man I think I look way worse without a beard. I also look terrible if the beard gets too long in the area below my jawbone.

[Sqrt2]

I'm going to be difficult, and say neither of them looks cooler (unless you are Chuck Norris, or sombody who I'm used to seeing with facial fuzz).

In fact, I like to think that the growing of facial hair is the male equivalent of having a period (in that it is a curse), only less messier.

[Rao]

Umm, what? I plan to grow some type of mustache+chin scruff beard type thing pretty soon.

I've always considered getting boners when you don't want one the guy-period.

Both guys and girls have times when their crotches take blood away from their brain and they get kinda selfish.

[Chupperson Weird]

That's it, I'm leaving this message board.

[nensondubois]

... I agree. The only thing I'm willing to contribute to this thread is that I like my beard better than my mustache and I too lazy and I feel uncomfortable to shave it.

[Glorb]

That's it, I'm leaving this message board.

I will laugh so hard if you're not lying.

[NintendoExpert89]

I found growing a mustache becomes itchy and oily after a while, but growing a beard isn't bad. However, I grow facial hair a lot slower than what is normal, and I'm pretty shaggy and patchy when I grow it out-- I don't get 5 o'clock shadow, even a week after shaving.

[Weegee]

I want muttonchops

You're only permitted to grow mutton chops if you promise to let it flourish into a full-scale "Uncle Kevin" look, most likely better known as "the 'chops/'stache combo":

[SolidShroom]

How about the man for whom sideburns are named?

[CrossEyed7]

His pecs are uncontainable!

[Weegee]

Just keep in mind, young CrossEyed, the the pecs don't make the man -- the moustache does.

[Toad]

I love mustaches. I don't like beards. My beard has always made my chin/neck area itchy, whether I keep it shaved or not.

My mustache has never given me a huge problem. Whenever a hair gets so long that it reaches into my mouth and tries to shake hands with my tongue, that's when it's time to break out the scissors.

Of course, my love of Mario games my have contributed somewhat to my love of mustaches..

[Glorb]

I trick I learned from my grandpa that doesn't work for me at all is to shave at around 5 pm; the next day, you've got perfect five o'clock shadow without having to wait until 5 o'clock. Of course, if you're me, you get a barely-visible patch of it way underneath your chin.

[Luigalaxy]

I'm growing a bit of a mustache myself. And some sideburns. But, I'd rather just keep a small bit of mustache. I just can't imagine myself with a full grown mustache or beard.

[Suffix]

Whenever my chin gets too dark in color, I start scratching incessantly at it. Thus, I keep myself clean shaven at most times. The question is whether or not mustaches or beards are better... I'm thinking mustaches look better than beards do when they aren't complementing each other. But I'm still not voting, because in reality, I like neither.

[Weegee]

Of course, my love of Mario games my have contributed somewhat to my love of mustaches..

My sentiments exactly. The only thing preventing me from growing such a set of lip fuzz is my apparent inability to develop facial hair anywhere but the very corners of my mouth and ALL THE WAY AROUND MY NECK. Nere is there a single folicle uponst mine chin or lip, but alas, 'tis wholly upon my throat. Woe is me -- how I pine for thee, o appreciable facial hair.

[Super Caterina!]

Beard makes a man looking too old for its age (if young), but it gives also a more intelectual looking...

But I choose moustaches!XD
I think they are "sexier" if well cut!

[Trainman]

Eh, my facial hair starting growing in towards the end of 8th grade. I can grow a full beard/mustache on command and it grows quickly. See, my school was stupid and there was a "clean shaven" policy to keep the look of the school "nice, old school, and in order," (yet think of the emo people, etc. who made the school look stupid). Anyway, they'd make you shave, even if you had 5 o' clock.

Shaving Fee 2004-2009:
9th grade- Free
10th grade- 25 cents
11th grade- One dollar
12th grade- One dollar

I probably paid well over 50 dollars to them over the years because of the security guards' idiotic discretion to "facial hair." If I shaved the morning of school, I'd be okay, but if I shaved the night before, by 5th period (out of a possible 7) I'd be in trouble. Some days I'd be called into shave consecutively, as in Monday, the next day, etc. I've even been told to go back and shave and pay ANOTHER dollar because they said my sideburns were too long or my mustache was past the end of my lips after I shaved my beard there the first time which is bullcrap.

Anyway, I keep my beard basically a couple days past a stubble so it's smooth, and shave my neck up to the bottom of my jawbone. The reason being is because I've had a full beard, beard and no stache, sideburns, goatee, fu manchu thing with the goat (kinda like deezer has had)... pretty much everything that isn't stupid looking. So, now it's always a nicely kept mustache and beard just like this recent, 2AM-looking picture.

EDIT: Disregard the Corvette in the background. I basically hate 99% of all Chevrolet products, and most of GM's "sports cars."

[SolidShroom]

Trainman: They took his money and his facial hair.

[Weegee]

Any word on what nefarious uses the collected facial folicles went towards?

[Trainman]

Well, they went down the sink as far as I know because we had to shave in the bathroom. See, the razors they gave us were single blades which were serrated, basically, and the shaving cream was what I called "Old Guy Plus" (hydrochloric acid). And shaving my whole beard when it's full with a single/double blade is like trying to saw through the top of a maximum security prison's barbed-wire fence with a yo-yo string, so yes, pain ensued, bumps, redness, and all. Never nicked myself, though.

After shaving there I felt like was 8 years old and completely naked. I also felt drafts just from walking and my face would generally feel way, way colder.

[Rao]

I have facial hair on my toes.

[Glorb]

I asked around, and there is a precisely 50-50 split between the people who want me to grow a beard and the people who don't. So I'm growing one anyway. So far, looks pretty good, though the 'stache portion is barely visible.

[World 6 Retainer]

 I have a full beard trying to grow now, but as they usually do halfway, this one looks scraggly and unkempt. It's a renfaire thing though, trying to get a beard.
