To Beard or not Beard a HBT facial hair analysis poll

[RhodySeth]

I don't trust a man who hasn't given his beard a chance to shine.

Only get to grow mine when I'm on vacation. Work doesn't allow them (much to swmbo's delight).

10 years ago I started rocking the goatee. About 3-5 years ago I could grow a full beard and did for the winter, come spring drop it down to the goatee again. The past 3 years all beard all the time. Run a buzzer with guard through it every now and then to keep a professional appearance at work, but that's about it.

I've also got a slight wave in the hair that goes from my head halfway down my back.

Unfortunately my job doesn't allow me to have a beard. Otherwise I'd be a bearded brewer.

Lazy here too, plus the winter outdoors benefit and annual Santa routine.

Got weird a while back when strangers would brace me with a big smile and babble "happy, happy, happy". Buddy's wife had to explain it to me. Still don't get it

Fire dept won't allow it or else I would be rockin it.

I let it go from the first sign of cold weather until after I get back from my annual 2 week snowboarding trek up north in March then I leave the length but make it a long goatee

Beards have become to me what Flannel was in the 90s. Something I wore regularly, but has now become the domain of the hip. So, I'll personally wait for the fad to die down and maybe grow another one in a few years.

Are you going to wait for hipsters to stop drinking craft beer before you continue drinking craft beer as well? If you want to grow a beard, grow a beard.

I said no beard, but not because I don't want to. My military service prevents me from growing a beard, hence I must go beardless. I will commence growing a beard immediately upon discharge from said service, though.

I've had a mustache my entire adult life, except for the years I was in the Navy. But my 'full' beard is no such thing; I think I have a little too much Indian blood.

Hope springs eternal. I just started a goatee a couple of weeks ago....

I used to have a beard but it was sparse and pubey so I'm back to a clean shave. May bring the snidely whiplash mustache back though.

In Canada the military is only allowed to have facial hair if it is a waxed mustache. Saw a guy on base (was there for work) who must have had about 2" past his head on either side. Other than that he was rolling with the cue ball look. I think it's an archaic loophole in the system being exploited or he just had really bad judgement.

Didn't realize pics were appropriate. 12/23/13, last game at Candlestick Park and final Monday Night Football of the year. Me and my usher(ette).

I had a full beard, but, I'm a teacher and allowed the student who got the highest score on one of my test to choose what I would shave it into. They chose friendly mutton chops with a handlebar mustache. It was pretty epic but I told my students I could only keep it for a week, mainly because of my wife.

Beard for the past 11 years.

I was clean shaven for a little over a year, but my company changed their policy on facial hair. I'm now happily bearded!

I currently have my winter beard going. Told my wife back in October that I'm not shaving it until the Seahawks win the Super Bowl. So, it's either coming off Monday, or it's gonna be mighty impressive by this time next year.

Full Beard, I have had my beard for 7 years now (I do trim it down every once in a while to keep it from looking nasty but currently have not trimmed it in about 5 months)

 

[BeWilder]

I started growing a beard back in Oct. but finally shaved it off yesterday and just went back to a goatee. I had to keep the beard trimmed for work and doing so made me feel like a hipster wannabe who was just doing it as a fad.

Goatee. Being retired Army I was not allowed facial hair for 21+ yrs. I guess it's just catch up time.

Nice. 90 responses thus far and we have about a 70/30 ratio going. Last time a similar poll was taken it was about 60/40. Seems the beard is growing more popular. Let's keep the votes coming!!!

Go with the beard. Obey the beard.

Awesome.

I'm in the military. No Beard.

 

[D5000]

Beard. For the first time in my life. Somehow on some unfathomable level, I believe it makes me a better brewer. 🍺

 

[rocketsan]

Wife and I make out like teenagers, so no facial hair for this guy.

Had a beard every winter since I was 20. Every year it stayed longer and longer until it became an all year must. The SWMBO loves it for some reason...

Clean shave.

If the good lord intended us to be clean shaven she would have organized the hormones and follicles in a different manner.

Of course this is true of underwear as well ... we were born without it and can live just fine without it !!
