I've had a beard for 9 years now and I doubt I'll ever go back to being clean shaven again.20200516_212338.jpeg

After 9 years you'd be expecting it go be like ZZ top.

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

I had a quick check on this a wee while back.

Religious or medical reasons aside, an employer can make you be clean shaven if they want and, other than leave, there is nothing you can do about it.

ETA for the benefit of MixuFixit here's mine

That's stubble, not a beard

I was off work for a while about 13 years ago and I stopped shaving. The itchy phase lasted a couple of weeks but after that I went full bear's arse. Very pleasing result. I keep it reasonably short for work, because a long beard looks mental with a suit. A run around with a beard trimmer every couple of weeks or so is plenty. All this talk of beard oils and moisturisers - your face should do that for you. Personally I think a stylised beard is often the hallmark of a douchebag, makes you look like a baddie from A Handsmaid's Tale, but each to their own. 

I hated shaving, I found it a total waste of time and it irritated my skin. It felt like I was fighting nature every day for no good reason. I've always had the red blotchy jaw look of Andrei Arshavin so it was good to hide that too. Impressive wind resistance properties too - it keeps you warmer in winter yet doesn't seem to add any warmth in summer at all.

Every man should give it a go at least once in his life. If you don't like it then fine, take it off. This lockdown is the ideal chance to find out.

Part of the reason I grew - and kept - mine.

You can sense the resentment, seethe and bitterness of P&Bs wee men. I'd give them advice on how to grow a majestic 'wife stealing' beard. But natural selection hasn't been kind to them and there's just no cure for that.

They also can be seen reluctantly drinking bottles of pisswater bud or pints of carling in a pathetic attempt to pretend to like beer and  try to fit in. I pity them tbh.

A Million ways to die in the West adequately covered the manliness of facial hair. It's not up for debate.

I’ve not shaved since lockdown started. Will let it grow and see what mess I can create. I’ll get it fixed professionally before going back to work, whenever that may be.
