Had my beard for 47 years (since 18yrs) and although have had it short, long, short, mainly long have never had a shave. My kids in their early 40's have never seen me without. Does that make me a hipster?
I have 40 year old and 37 year old sons, neither have seen me without a beard either.

Shaving is very overrated

If the Husband doesnt have a beard then he is the wife
Seems appropriate. If your dad doesn't have a beard, you've got two mums.

I am a bearded brewer I have pretty much had a beard for near 20yrs well before it was a trend.

I was at.. a great craft beer pub that attracts the trendy,...no I am not a bloody hipster!
Let's look at the facts Brownie, you've intimated your participation in something before it was trendy (hipsters do that).

You were at a trendy pub known to attract hipsters (hipsters do that).

You live in a trendy part of town (hipsters do that).

I've seen your beard, you may just need to accept you are a hipster. :lol:

Edit: and hipsters always say that they aren't hipsters

Started a holiday goatee just over a year ago, haven't shaved it since.
I was sure the wife and/or kids would complain, not so far though.

Decided I'd get at least to one year, and now I'm not sure what to do, I've grown somewhat attached.

Got passport photos done yesterday and it's fair to say with a shaved head, one year old goatee and the no smile policy all that's missing is the booking number under that mugshot.
Goatees are good because they avoid inner thigh rash.

Fark you Juddy, I've lived here all my life from when people used to fear walking through for fear of being mugged! I'm the old bogan yobbo guard of this hill!
But I guess you've got me over a barrel and I'll just have to accept that I am the ultimate of trend setters and I can't help it that these posers try to imitate me they do say it's the sincerest form of flattery.

Yours truly,

Only had a full beard once for about 15 months as the grandkids asked me to grow one, but everyone reckoned i looked like some wild man out of the jungle so i let the grand kids cut it off, they laughed so hard i had to finish it

Have had a mo for 30 odd years so i'm not the stereotype
 
Since we're talking stereotypes.

In my travels, I've found that older blokes with grey goatees often seem a bit too serious.
 
This bloke is the exception to the rule.

His beard isn't very grey yet though, so give him time and the smile will go.

Edit: I'd have a smile like that if I had his $ and his Virgin hostesses.
 
I dunno how all you's with beards ever got past the itchy stage, after a week I'm all pissed off and itching like a bastard,

The key is to brave it once and then never shave again.

EDIT: I realise my beard is pretty weak in my avatar. That photo was the result of asking for the "Barber's Choice" service that was on offer.
 
This thread has been fun, I hope it lasts until Friday night.
That's when the real fun starts around here!

Well I assume you made it with the pubic hair growth stage. Only difference is is not in your pants.
 
i go between having a beard or a goaty and being clean shaved. cant say ive ever noticed a difference in my beer brewed at different stages of facial hair.

I brewed three years without a beard. Then I grew a beard and started winning medals for my beers, coincidence? Maybe.
 
I had a full beard and mo all through my 20s then shaved it off when I was about to turn 30 (thought I was getting old!) Then at 47 I grew a goatee. Suits me, everybody said. Plus, I ain't got much hair on top of my head, so I need to grow my beard so i don't look like a billiard ball!

I got my wife to do a handstand naked in front of a mirror once, just to see what I would look like with a goatie
Nah. Seeing my lips run from nose to chin was ******* terrifying. Never again.
 
I've had a beard a few times (pre and post brewing) but keep getting called Osama Bin Ladin. I work at the airport and after awhile the security guards start to hesitate to let me in, and the constant strip searching starts to get a bit annoying!

I grew a beard as soon as it got trendy. My 50-year old ass hangs out of those skinny jeans as much as you could hope for. I use beard oil like Jeri-Curl. Fortunately I spent years in the wine industry, so I can speak at length about my Melbourne Bitter with wit and aplomb.

Would you like to hear about my manscaping?
