Whoa. Please tell us you don't work in the food industry!

Already have a full beard and it is glorious.

I was about to post a thread just like this one but always search before posting a new one, so found yours.

I too am growing a tache for the fight against "ar*e and b*ll*ck" cancer.

Open to suggestions on style, last year I had this.

Fancy something different this year but as mentioned the world isn't ready for an "adolf" again.

Here's your canvas this year. Ideas?

how about the reverse Hitler? Big stash, shave the middle where Hitler's stash was?

Interesting, that begs the question " is an anti-tache still a tache?"

I didn't care for the rule that you have to shave clean first then grow the stash. I haven't had a clean shave since I was 17 and that was against my will.

NFPA regulations say no facial hair for firefighters. The "quick" fit test for us is don the mask, don't connect the regulator, cover the regulator port with the palm of your hand and inhale. The mask should suck tight against your face - and stay there when you stop inhaling. It is possible to get a decent seal with some facial hair, but not easy. (And if you're doing any certified training, you walk through the door with a goatee, they'll hand you a razor and point you to the bathroom)

I was clean shaven just a couple days before the 1st. They can gimme my donation back if that's a problem.

I'm dying to see it in a month.

Only problem, although I don't think "problem" is the right word... I don't see it coming off at the end of the month.

On the plus side, all the ladies in my office now refer to me as "super hot beard guy". which is cool.

I enjoyed mine so much last year it stayed until New Years when SWMBO said certain privileges would be revoked..... That's right the fermenter space would be reassigned.

haha... so far the SWMBO is "pro-beard".

We'll see.
