i tend to have sideburns 90% of the time, i shave them off and their back 6 hours latter.

i hate facial hair, but if i dont have any people tend to mistake me for a girl..... :eek:
 
I'm 16 and I shave every day. Nothing like a freshly shaven face. :D Just got one of those fancy Braun shavers and that thing means business. I would let my facial hair grow out but my mustache hair grows 10x faster than the rest of the hair on my face so it looks pretty weird.
 
I've had a goatee for years, fashion be damned. I occasionally shave it off, only to be horrified by the face I find beneath it. So I grow it back right away.

that I can understand. Same thing happen with me.
 
I just can't be bothered to shave every day. It ends up that I have to about every other day, unfortunately, to look presentable for one or more of my jobs, so i'm usually seen in a constant state of stubble, sometimes longer than others.
 
I would probably grow a goatee or soething but it doens't come in thick enough, and looks stupid. Maybe in a couple of years. I always thought facial hair looked cool. Damn asian genes, I can't even grow a decent goatee at the age of 22. What's wierd is that I got hair all over my body, and most asians don't. I'm talking chestal area, my parents tell me it's the damned American food I eat. :D

I do hate shaving though, so that's a good thing that it doesn't come in quick and thick.
 
The men in my family are pretty hairy, and for an 18 year old I think I csn grow a pretty good beard considering my age. I would absolutely love to grow it out, but my girlfriend hates it, and I have to keep her happy.

I did grow it out for close to 2 weeks once though. The moustache didn't come in too good.

im 21.. have had facial hair since about 14. i used to like keeping the 5:00 shadow thing.. but now it just irritates me. i gotta be clean shaven all the time or i feel sweaty and dirty
 
Sported a level 2 trimmed, goatee for a couple of years, but am now back to clean shaven.
 
I started growing a goatee in the first week of December '04. Then I shaved it in November '05. It has since made its return (this past March I think it was.) Currently, it is the longest hair on my body. ;) I've been thinking of going for the Dimebag Darrel triangle style, but mine seems to want to grow to the right side of my face. I really should get a real beard trimmer.
I don't have a mustache though, as when I play, my lip gets irritated by the hair.
 
Facial hair of any kind in a man just doesn't work for me.
I only like - and would only date - clean shaven guys.
I always give compliments to my guy friends when they show up perfectly shaven -- it just looks so clean, groomed, and "together".

Do it! I had a roommate who had a goatee like that for a while, and it was pretty awesome. I'd never do it 'cause I'd look like a fool, but if you can pull it off, I say go for it.

And dye it red!

Whenever I go to get my eyebrows done, they always ask "Just your eyebrows?"

I don't have a lady-stache! :mad:

and for that matter, any facial hair I have (non-eyebrow) is so super-blonde that you can't see it.

I don't have a mustache.. stupid waxers.

*pouts*
*spits*
eww, I got a hair in my mouth!

Are you sure they don't want to wax other regions????
 
It's kind of funny, I can develop a good amount of facial hair and my brother has absolutely none. There was a time when he was really jealous and I would walk around, scratch my chin and let loose a nice "Hmmmmmmm...".

Other than that, I usually have some nice 'burns and some stubble from being too lazy to shave every day or so. To really annoy my wife, sometimes I let my beard grow out then shave it into funny patterns... mutton chops, soul patch, the Wyatt Earp-looking beard, etc. I end up shaving it all off though when she starts crying... don't want to be too mean. :)
 
I usually have a bit of stubble going on, if I've not been arsed/required to have a shave. I normally need to keep myself looking respectable for work, but if it's a long weekend or I'm on holiday I'll generally leave it until the itching gets too much for me.
 
I had a big ass beard in Highschool

And an even bigger beard in University,

Now that I'm in the working world, I've cut back, but I still only shave on Sunday nights.

So, by Friday, I have a mini beard....

I love beards, I think I look better in beards, I wish chicks dug beards more.....

Kudos, quigley. Well stated.
I've had facial hair since I was about 12, maybe thirteen. had to shave. Got tired of it in high school, so I only did occassionally. Sported a goatee as a teen, but pretty much for the last 10-12 years, I've kept a nice full beard. Occassionally it goes into Mountain Man territory. I don't trim it back until I start to notice it/pay attention to it: If I'm rubbing my chin too much, or petting my own cheek, it's too long, and so I trim it. Most of the time, i think it looks fine, but it's not really for style.

I do, also, have a "3 comment Rule," where if 3 people say something like "Whoa there, Mr. Crockett!" or something, it's probably too long. haha!

But really, i'm a beard fan. Is it a "style" here? no, not really. I'm a loner.

But nice to see others along for the hairy ride.

lol I did that to my dad when I grew mine.

His entire side can not grow facial hair and it look very bad when they do try. It was surpising because even my mom's dad cant grow facial hair so there not much of a gene pool left where I got it from.

Did enjoy laughing at my dad for a few weeks because he always wanted to grow something but cannt.
 
mostly really short (i don't know how long stubble is.. i guess that's the right word)

in the past i shaved at least every 2nd day.. while now as i student i'm more lazy and now it's mostly every 3rd day or if it falls on a slow evening then sometimes get up to 5 days which means even more hassle to get rid of it again ;)

on the other side i normally shave away the mustache region daily simply because i have only few hairs there and that would look ridiculous
