Growing A Beard

Generally guys that hate beards know they cant grow a decent one and often cry themselves to sleep at night they  since cant conquer one of mans most basic tasks in life.

Not sure that growing a beard is a ‘task’, not even a basic one.  I simply assume some folk are more hirsute than others.

One thing that is certainly an acquired skill is grooming said beard.  I have trimmed mine once and the result was less than impressive.  Not sure I want to post a photo like some others but there is nothing attractive about my effort other than it covers some of my face; folk who know me might see that as a good thing.

I dread to think how you must chew if it's the beard getting into your mouth. For me, it's usually the tache.

Well, it's the bits down the side - the beard / tache hybrid bits.

Always make sure the tache doesn't grown down over the mouth.

I once grew out a ridiculous effort by simply not shaving for months. 

When I did cut it off it the resulting hair on the ground looked like someone had shaved Chewbacca's ballbag.

I’d always considered P&B a reasonably safe place.

That is very bizarre.  Not sure how that would hold up in an industrial tribunal situation.

 

Not particularly. I had to be clean shaven offshore if working on sour wells and the need for PPE to be an adequate fit. Respiratory protection doesn't work well with beards.

What's a sour well is that like if it's letting out poisonous stuff?

Potential for H2S. At certain points you have to work using a cascade BA system as it's nasty stuff.

Would have kept the beard and braved it myself. Better to be dead than to live as a beardless shadow of your true self imo.

I’m sure there are jobs where there is reason for it, not sure keithgy has such a job.

That would have resulted in me not having a job. 

I have had many a beard since.

They don’t work well with snorkelling also

Do you work for the Disney corporation?

keithgy's not allowed to wear a beard because he's a child actor and it would look a bit weird.

I'd been racking my brain thinking of who you remind me of.

Did I miss you or did you post after I made it? I've binned it now, not making another one.

Didn't realise it was only of folk who posted their attempts, I started to grow one but it was coming in white in places so shaved it off
