DU Men: Have you ever grown a beard?

[elperromagico]

[Lerkfish]

1. I've sported a beard nonstop since 1977.

only exception for cancer surgery. grew it back immediately.

better question: why do you want to know?

[elperromagico]

3. I am just curious, g. damn it!!!

:P

[DrDebug]

2. No way!!!

That's something for bald man! The college flashback stuff with a thick beard and three hears combed over their immense bald spot.

[Terran]

10. I have a beard

and ain't hardly bald! I wouldn't be without it, or at least a largish goatee.



(C'est moi.)

[DrDebug]

17. Yeah, it seems I'm in a minorty here

Still going to shave though. Sometimes a two day stubble, but that's about it.

[BikeWriter]

31. If I ever went bald on top I'd comb my beard over. :-)

[plcdude]

4. I have had one for the last 30 years

no telling when I will shave it off.

[terrya]

5. Yes. I didn't look half bad with it. But too much upkeep.

[WeRQ4U]

6. When I shave my hair close to my head...

then I sometimes grow a really short 30-something beard. It's never been Jack Johnson big though.

[ChaoticSilly]

7. Bearded here

I hate shaving with a passion. My face turns beet red & feels like it's on fire the whole day. I've tried all sorts of after shave, pre-shave lotion, electric & blades - nothing works.

[trotsky]

8. I've tried, but I never could make it past the itchy stage.

Drove me crazy.

[Lerkfish]

9. that's temporary, btw.

[trotsky]

15. LOL, everyone told me that!

But that "temporary" phase gets to its 2nd or 3rd day and I just can't take it anymore!

[nevergiveup]

11. A few years ago

I tried and to my surprise it came in gray so I shaved it

[Rick Myers]

12. I'm growing one right now!!!

Itchy!!!

The only reason is a friend is producing a cable access TV show am I'm playing a part in it.

Can't WAIT to shave it off.

[trackfan]

13. Many times. It's been a while though.

here's one of 'em.

[Sgent]

16. Once

but it was scraggly looking, and I can't grow a Mustache. (Genetics). Finally, it itched like a SOB.

That being said, I do grow a nice start on a beard after a week of vacation :)

[Allenberg]

14. I can't grow a beard.

I guess I just don't have that much testosterone running through me. :shrug:

[jswordy]

18. Oh MAN... BELCH was really tempting! LOL.

[tjwmason]

19. No - don't think it would work with my face

or persona for that matter.

The most I've got was last time I was ill and went for 48 hours without shaving :scared:

I have thick dark hair, and get a terrible 5 o'clock shadow though.

[sundog]

21. i think you should grow one

just for me :P

[tjwmason]

22. You're getting very close to the offer I can't refuse

My face would vanish - utterly vanish - under this mound of dark hair.

[sundog]

23. i like em

the facial hair on the sides of my face is too sparse to grow a full one, so i stick to a goatee

[CubsFan1982]

20. Yes.

Most of the last 3 years, I've had a goatee.

[democrat in Tallahassee]

24. sexist question: Lots of women have beards

just kidding

[progressoid]

25. After I quit workin for the man I stop shaving

But every once in a while I cut it off. Usually last about a week or so.

Now I just trim it to stubble every week.

[evlbstrd]

26. Yes.

I don't have much of a chin, so the fur makes up for it.
And I cut all my hair off once. My kids didn't recognize me and demanded I grow it again.

[mark414]

27. where's BikeWriter???

he's got a killer one

[BikeWriter]

30. LOL! Thanks, Mark. :-)

[warrens]

28. I routinely grow one for a month or two, then cut it off

Gives my skin a break from shaving, but after a while it starts looking ratty and it's too much work to keep trimming it.

[enigmatic]

29. yes

Some kind of facial hair (beard, goatee, soul patch, mustache)since I was 15...
