So here's a picture of my "I haven't shaved since mid-December" picture.

I haven't shaved since mid-December

Not my best photo, what with the lack of effort I put into my appearance today, but eh, it shows my beard.

I've left my razor back at my folks', so I'm trying an unshaven look myself. Who knows, maybe I am finally capable of growing a 'stache?

I think I've gone past the "unshaven and scruffy" to "hobo beard starter set".

one more pic so people can see the weird up-curl the hair right below my lip has.  When I smile it almost hides my lower lip.  Weird

Also, you can see how patchy it is on my cheeks.

when you finally grow a proper hobo beard, call me and i can set you up with a cardboard box. oddly enough no one at work has yet to call me up on actually trimming or getting a haircut.

then again, i sorta look like a dwarf, so i might be getting some points somewhere.

A desire for a properly impressive Celtic-style mustache is the main reason my youthful inability to grow facial hair longer than a centimeter or so irks me as much as it does. Thus, I shave rarely.

For those of you who haven't seen...
EE is VERY attractive.
His abs look delicious.

If you like guys...

I think if you take out the patches on your cheek and grow the rest out until it's a bit thicker it'd look pretty good on you Smile

Nice scruff there EE.


God I wish I could grow facial hair like that.  Mine looks patchy, multitoned and just ridiculous.  I can grow a blond mustache, golden brown hair on the chin, and patch blond and black on the sides.... unfortunately none of it is very thick. (despite my best efforts... apparently my facial hair mustache aside stops growing out after about a week and remains it's hideous self)

I suppose since spring is a comin, I should revive a certain thread.

Shouldn't I actually have to post a shirtless pic to elicit a comment like that?

You already did and it burned into the minds of some.

I meant in this thread.  All I posted yesterday were pictures of my face and my shirt was clearly on.

you should shave less. and stay looking serious. it makes you look like a tougher adventurer.

Heh.  Not really an option.  I'd be shocked if I got hired without at least one in-person interview, which means I gotta look presentable.

The unshaved look actually looks good on you.  You bear more than a passing resemblance to Seth Green (Robot Chicken, as if you didn't already know).

Myself, I can't grow a beard worth a darn, and every time I grow a moustache I get sores in the corners of my mouth.  But I have grown a nice little fuzzy just under my lower lip, and have received a lot of compliments on it.

Just my $.02

I would suggest you try the old English Color Sergeant from the Zule wars era.  Here is a picture of what I am talking about.


If I got the right one...

So the SO has decided that my wild face scruff must be tamed, and we're getting a beard trimmer tonight after he's off work.  So I guess that means that tomorrow I'll have new pics of my new manly face-fuzz, whatever that ends up being.  Still not sure what I might try (though I may just default to keeping the side-burns and the chin like in my avatar self-portrait), so if you have any ideas you think would actually look good, speak up soon.

Shave the cheeks and trim the upturn with a pair of scissors if it bothers you.

You should keep a goatee.

I thought you looked fine with the facial hair...

 Eh. I think if you gave it time to grow out evenly and kept it neatly trimmed it might look good. And combed down the tribble on your head there, lol.

Ended up just keeping the stuff on my chin, though I did trim it.  This new beard trimmer has all sorts of widgets, and it was the cheapo one... I think next time the SO goes to cut my hair he's going to have a new toy to play with.  I'll have pics up later.
