I let my beard grow until I start blending in a little too well with the homeless community downtown. Then I mow it with a (Norelco?) trimmer. The times I want to get rid of all the stubble, I use a multiblade disposable. I own a straight razor but it scares the holy fuck out of me.

Ditto. I heard all these good things about straight razors and purchased a nice one about 20 years ago. Took one close look at it and it is still sitting in the box somewhere.

I just eagerly rub my cheek against a homeless person until they offer a blade. In my college town there's plenty of data points!

What's so scary about straight razors?

Aurora, you'd despair to know how common that is where I live~ But none of them are as sexy as Johnny Depp.

To be fair, I can imagine a lot of places I want Johnny Depp nowhere near my carotid artery..

Porn star 'stache for me.  (can't be much of a surprise for the rest of you) Also, keep it rather ragged, the ones I see that look like they are maintained with a precision jig and high speed router look too fussy.

Had a beard 35 years ago, the color was amazing, I have plain brown hair on my head, but the beard grew out this impressive reddish brown color.  Don't shave everyday, but up around a week or so, the gray really looks depressing in view of the great color I once had.

While I like the look of sideburns (damn, I'm so 70s) and sideburns that connect to a handlebar mustache are even better, it is pretty rare to see such things these days.  I'm liking mustache/goatees more if not cut really short (what is up with that?) but a goatee (or beard) and no mustache is just so Abner Amish looking I can't keep from laughing.


Ahem, ATTENTION teenager at Walmart tonite with the pubic hair beard;

GIVE UP!  I'VE GOT MORE HAIR ON MY BALLS AND IT LOOKS BETTER THERE THAN IT DOES ON YOUR FACE.

I haven't been 'clean' shaven in around 10 years. I use an electric trimmer + scissors to keep my beard at varying lengths depending on the time of year.
