I want a beard like this.

I work at Kennywood, I'm not allowed to grow a beard. [:(]

If you feel restrained by that then work somewhere else.

I have friends that use facial hair as a form of personal expression. Every time I see them they've shaved in new and interesting ways, one of them can grow a set of muttonchops I'm quite envious of.

I'm fortunate that my hair is close to the color of my skin, so I can go without shaving for a day without looking homeless. But shaving is a big pain in the ass since I've got a cross between Welsh redhead and Nordic blond hair. Which means it's thin, soft and flighty most places (and ever thinning on top) but wire-brush hard on the face. It takes a good fifteen to twenty minutes of careful blade manipulation (and the removal of a layer of skin) to get perfectly smooth all over, and then the razor is dull. My beard eats electric razors for lunch.

If I wasn't married I'd have a ZZTop beard, but the wife likes clean cut and clean shaven so the only time I get to play with my hair is on vacation.

haha my facial hair is the same way. I go through so many blades that it is something that I have to budget for on a monthly basis. But I havn't shaved since Febuary or January so I now have a little extra spending money. [:D]


(obviously trimmed up weekly)
