I've had a sckraggly beard for about 6 years and haven't cut my hair in that same amount of time.I almost always double take on bearded guys(and gals too).Shaving sux,but every once in a while I think about shaving it all just for something different,but I hasn't seemed worth it yet.

Re: I hate shaving
Fri, January 23, 2004 - 1:55 PMA few months ago, I took the plunge and did a complete shave. The last time I did this was four years ago and I hated the way I looked so much that I immediately grew it back.
So for the moment, I'm clean-shaven. I shave only two times a week, though because I tend to break out really bad when I shave too often. I figure this might last a few more months. -

Sun, January 25, 2004 - 1:34 AMSee...that's deep. Y'all go through "dilemmas", for lack of a better word... I've never shaved once, not even a trim, in all of my 33 years of exisitence... Long live the beards!!

Sat, January 31, 2004 - 1:39 PMyeah, shaving sucks.
I recently grew a beard, shaved it, then regrew my soul-patch (or whatever that is on my chin). I think I'm going to be growing my full beard back pretty soon. Just for another holler.
It's a good thing to have at burningman, for some reason. Gets all that playa dust in there. Seems to work like a powder or something. Trust me! -

Re: I hate shaving
Wed, February 2, 2005 - 3:28 PMLOL. The one time I shaved during my adult years was a few years ago after a Burning Man beard dye job gone bad. You know how it is: you want to dye the old chin fungus some color not found in nature so you don't have to mess with coloring it the rest of the week. That year it was Manic Panic green.
Now being an old geezer, I have a white beard, so it soaks up the dye pretty well; and yes, it did hold its color most of the week. If I had just left it alone and shampooed it daily after the burn I think the last traces of green would have been gone after another week. But no. I had to get impatient and try to trim off the top layer. God, what a mess. A short beard with little green streaks and splotches.
Well, heck, I thought. I haven't seen my naked face in over 25 years. I'll shave it off just this once. Scared the everlovin' s**t out of my teenage kids. They thought an intruder had broken into the house. I thought my wife was going to have a stroke.
Of course, it grew back. That's the problem with shaving. It always grows right back.
So if you aspire to be a hippie pyromaniac like me, I recommend the spray-in hair color. It shampoos out easily. (See my icon for a sample).
