Okay, this is one for the blokes, but if the ladies want to join in I won't complain.....

The stereotypical image of a biker with leathers and the big bushy beard is probably a long way from the truth. But these days there is such a variety of facial hair, I was wondering how many of us sport any facial hair, and in what form.

These days anything goes, from full beards, to the new fad "ticklers". Moustaches are making a come-back, back in the 'nineties only gays and cops had those.

Myself, I have been clean-shaven most of my life. Any facial hair was usually short lived. My dad had a full beard for most of his life, and when he died four years ago, I decided to grow a beard as a kind of memorial. I've kept it ever since.

So what have you got guys?

Where's the option for the "I can't be bothered to shave everyday" stubble?

Because of my time in the Army I like to be clean shaven. But you know what they say, sometimes my good habits slip

had a beard when i was 16.. (yes.. full, not patchy) shaved for the service.. got out and grew a goatee and let my hair grow.. was down to my belt at one point after 15 years of growth.. got pissed one night and my friend said..

"dude.. you ever think about shavin yr head?.."

woke up next day, looking like 3 rounds of Chemo.. long strands.. bald patches.. cuts, nicks, etc..has never been the same since now im old and MPB has set in..

still got the goatee tough..

hmm mine changes quite often..

a few weeks back me and a few mates got some slugs going for a 80's party we had, shite we looked sleeeeaze it was badass.

goatee i had about a year ago, had that for a good 2 years. had a few manginas now got another one since the 80's party, was gonna shave it off tonight tho!..

clean shave is always good, just a mission on the face everyday.. so every two days is the key, then you get a day clean and a day with rockstar stubble..

Have a goatee at the moment. I shave maybe once every two weeks. Works out well since the goatee is the only placeI can grow real facial hair at the moment. Some of my peachfuzz on my cheeks is getting a bit thick though so might have to start shaving more often.

Just a mustache these days,but it's a fairly serious one.Up until a few years ago I had a greybeard and pony tail,in my black leathers and helmet with shades I looked a typical bad arse biker from a distance.....but as you got closer I didn't get any bigger.I hate shaving and hair cutting,so usualy have 3 days white stubble and wispy grey hair like some old fart in a coat with a paper bag....

Tickler, all patchy and terrible. I haven't done a thing all week so I haven't bothered to shave. Hrmm, starting to get itchy now and I've got uni Monday, should probably do something about it.

Had beards, goatee, moustache etc off an on over the years. Family photo has me with a beard. Had that for about five or six years. Clean shaven now. Likely to remain so for the forseable future.

Normally clean shaven, coz its nice and easy, but when I'm on a uni break and working on site, I don't have to bother, so I end up shaving again just before uni.

Thought I'd seen this question before. Nevermind.
Full beard kept trimmed fairly short. Can't grow anything on my head, so have to grow some somewhere. :motu:

Got a goat and 3 days of "cant be assed" hanging off my face.
Anything that covers some of my scars (hit and run on a push-bike, drove a tooth through my bottom lip, car drivers suck!) is a good thing as I'm an ugly basted as it is!

Just as well you don't ride Brazilian, you would need a very narrow goatee......

Got a different look on my NZ drivers licence,NSW drivers licence,passport,forklift ticket and firearms licence.
Didn't plan it that way,just like change.
Had a Mo' since way back an that doesn't change,but the goatie comes an goes an some times even changes color.
But mostly just in need of a shave,,,,an a tub,,,I hate water an the electric shaver does such a crap job I don't bother with it.
I'd grow the full beard but don't like looking like I live under a bridge for the month it takes to look decent.

There's nothing quite as passionate

Indeed. One can't imagine the horrors of being "velcroed" to another's top lip...

Clean shaven, and if there was ever an option available to wax so I wouldnt have to shave for a month, I'd take it :yawn:
