I have sucessfully maintained non-shaving for the last 6 months (beating my personal record by 5 months), but have decided to shave on christmas day for a number of important reasons:

1. My beard is ginger, whilst my hair is brown. This is unsettling and unattractive.

2. My beard does not grow as might be imagined. Instead the sides grow straggly, whilst the chin grows long, wirey, and goat-like. This is confusing and unattractive.

3. My mustache gets in the way when I eat (and I refuse to trim it, as that defeats the object of having a beard). This is annoying and unattractive.

The beard may support my pseudo-belief in liberty and freedom and personal actions not mattering a damn, but at the end of the day it just isn't getting me any action. I feel I'd be better off without the beard, or at least no more unlikely to get action.

AH, if my personal beard-musings help you I'll be surprised.

What surprises me is it took you 5 months to work out your beard was unattractive.

An unkempt beard is certainly not attractive. A well groomed one I suppose could be to the right women. But a new Karl Marx won't get laid much nowadays

I could probably last a week, but then I'd have to shave. Apparently I have really nice stubble.

I must have the fastest growing beard out of all of you...after a week I look like a tramp. If I don't shave for a day then people ask me if I'm growing a beard (bastards). I like having a tramp beard, adds to my mystique

Okay its Christmas day and I'm frightening the little children. The growth might not survive the day.

Also Mrs Horse has finally admitted she hates it and shopkeepers lock the till when I walk in their shop

If you are unshaven people really do a double take.

I haven't shaved in 7 years, though I keep my beard cut short. I can't stand shaving, and my hair grows so fast that I used to have to shave twice a day in the Army, or get hassled. A beard was my logical choice, and I like it a lot.

Beards are for men with weak chins.

WTF?! What, a citizen isn't even aloud to go to the local porn shop without getting in trouble with the fuz? I've had it with this place! What happened to lthe land of freedom?!

I bet that female cop got sick kicks out of busting an honest guy in a place like that, damned wh0re. Why don't she go out and do some REAL work catching real criminals like real cops? What a skank.


ANYWAY, back to topic:

have fun with your beards y'all. Been there, done that, had fun and I learned trimming and washing was more work than shaving.

That about sums up my view of female cops who do that kind of thing.

I didn't want to bring up your weak chin, but Thank God you have finally seen the light and plan to cover it, once your scruff gets up to speed.
