what's new with me - i grew a beard

[sniffa]

i'm going k-fed styLe.

i'm past the itchy stage (most of the time. stiLL gets itchy once in a whiLe) but what in the worLd is up with the pimpLes i'm now sprouting under the beard!? i maybe get a few a year, if that so this is annoying (and strangeLy, kinda painfuL).

any bearded foLk experience this?

3. i wish i had one

i don't own a camera though. :(

Wow!

2. I've got a goatee

Mostly, it's two things. 1) Hair catches dirt and oil more easily, resulting in more zits. 2) Tendency to forget to wash the part under your beard when you've just started growing it.

4. i guess i'LL have to give it the vigorous scrubbing

thanks for not saying it's herpes. :P

7. Well, I didn't say it WASN'T herpes...

but... uh... you didn't get it from me... :evilgrin:

6. Sounds like you are getting ingrown hairs

Yes, I've had that happen when I have grown a beard. There are some good treatments for it, in the shaving section of drug stores, most of them marketed to African-American men.

10. i'LL give them a try

i think i remember wiLL pitt having a simiLar thread when he was growing a beard. i shouLd have paid attention then.

8. i got the same thing when i grew a beard. no pimples, but very irritated

red spots, and i normally never get pimples. needless to say, the beard came off after 3 weeks :D

9. NNNOOOOOOOOO....you have such a nice face

My crush will start to fade away if you do

14. not even the k-fed Look? (sans stache)

Go ahead, abandon me for your other playmates

:cry:

11. beards rule...

I just grew one recently to....

12. mine's a rebellion

it still itches. I resisted growing one because I hate fads, and the goatee thing was/is everywhere. But I like the salt and pepper thing I have now. Bet more folks will start calling me sir instead of just dude.

Moisturize! It would seem contradictory, but the oils need to escape.

16. i'LL give it a try

gracias amigo

18. I've always hated fads, too

I have no desire to look like everyone else. I have a shaved head, but it was much more fun before it became so popular (I've been shaving it myself for abour 8 years now).

I had the goatee for awhile, too, but there are LOTS of shaved heads/goatees. I like the look but wanted to try something different.

I grow a crappy beard, so that was out. Then I saw Deadwood on HBO (the main charactor is really hot) and thought I'd try the chin beard/soul patch and mustache look. I like it and you don't see a lot of guys with this look (yet, anyways).

20. I like anything that makes folks uncomfortable these days

I'd do the whole face thing, but mine's spotty as well. I just hate shaving.

Johnny Depp had a Deadwood thing going on at the Academy Awards that looked pretty funky.

13. I Recommend a Soft-Bristled Brush

Go over your face daily like you're combing down Seabiscuit - except go against the grain. It helps prevent ingrown hairs.

[sniffa]

17. i'LL give that a shot too

gracias amigo.
