Any bearded ones here?

[smoky]

Sorta interesting but facial hair as far as western civilsation goes is relitively a recent fashion trend. Beards were considerd barbaric. This too some extent is due to the Greeks enemy of the Persians who were bearded. The Greeks in the main were clean shaven and so were the Romans in general.

But - Romans and Greeks were not the Western Civilization we refer to today were they! They were into gay sex and tended to screw their own mothers a lot, didn't they.


The Barbarians, as I understand were the Barbars, hairy and came from the north, Germanic I believe! (not good at history).
that's my whakapapa - hairy as, hairy arse

That's worse than the whakamama you mentioned. And what's wrong with being gay? Lots of people ride hondas.

How olds that one Riff?Read somewhere it took Billy Gibbons 16 months to grow his,hopefully my mate gives in before then.

I've had a beard for years now mate. But I trimmed this one back using a #2 comb week before Christmas. This is about six-eight weeks for me to get to this stage.

I'd just like to thank you all for this thread! Best laugh I've had in a long time. Sarge that post you found about shaving bum cracks and the comment someone else made about being so hard they use prostitutes minges as their beards - Oh Lordy how I piddled myself.

[James Deuce]

yes it does ease off once it gets established but never fully goes

Yeah right.

Tried washing your face?

I've been bearded in one way or another for 26 years.

I've found a Nivea face (Nivea Visage Refreshing Cleansing Lotion) washing product that moisturises to be the best. Failing that a gentle shampoo and condition does wonders, not only for the beard but for the dead skin that gets trapped, which is what causes this issue.

I did some pre-exam beard-growing last year in an attempt to get smarter. Didn't really pan out.

The itchiness under my chin drove me so mad I shaved the underside of my jaw so I had a neat line around my jawline. Was still thick enough to not look too gay.

But yes, the best bit about it was shaving it off.

No. But both Greek and Roman were western civilizations. Barbarian is from Medieval Latin barbarinus, and the Greek, barbaros.
