Beards...& other facial growth.

[Super T.I.B]

My Buck's (Bachelor) night/weekend is coming up at the end of this month and all my mates decided that all who attend have to grow a moustache.
I am in the process of growing mine but not just growing a moustache, i am doing the goatee thing and will shave off the goat and keep the moustache for the weekend.

It is irritating the F*CK out of me!

Everytime I pass my hand over my top lip, I get the spike of a whisker into my skin. It's itchy as hell! It creates zits. I have a spot of grey on the left of my chin. 

I f*cken hate it, I want it off NOW! 

I don't know how men (and some women    ) can live with a beard. And the food that gets caught in it that has probably been there for a couple of hours that my workmates don't let me know about. 

<Rant off NOW>

you would love a full on 8 month (or longer) beard
it stops itching, mostly
you start to count on the left over food for a late morning snack
and if you are greying, (as i am) it looks better when it gets longer

You get used to it. I've had facial hair for 20 years now. The first 7 a full beard, the last 13 years a Van Dyke (what everyone and their brother mistakenly calls a goatee)

give it a few weeks and use conditoner on your face.

I let mine grow for about 10 days last summer..before and during my drive from FL to WA.  Arghh..the grey on my face really has filled in quite a bit!!    The leftover food particles too was a PITA.    Plus, I have allergies.  Everytime I had to blow my nose, pieces of tissue stayed in my mustache. Facial hair and I don't get a long!!  I feel your pain TIB.

If you don't like it, shave it off. Why cave in to peer pressure? 

Have fun on your bachelor's nite out.

sounds like you're actually growing a van dyke, not a goatee.

I expect more from you.   

And actually, it is called a Van Dyck.

 Arghh..the grey on my face really has filled in quite a bit!!    

my wife loves it when I grow out my whiskers but it makes me look 20 years older 'cause it's now 50% grey.  NFW man- I got years left to live and don't need the daily reminder that mortality takes a step toward my door with every breath I take.  Down with the fuzz!

Went with Van Dyke style for a summer, knowbody recognized me.  Good times!

+1 on the conditioner it helps soften it up. 

Oh yeah, chicks dig the tickling sensation...

[Rameses]

Some people I work with put me up to growing one earlier this summer.

I have extremely curly facial hair, so believe me, I can sympathize with the itchiness.



Oh and the best part about having a mustache is looking like a child-molester.
