Beards... disgusting

Mr. B has a well trimmed beard.

Mr. S. has a goaty; love it.

All my men have/had beards.
Food is never caught in them, the chaps are clean eaters!
They are washed with the face, regularly.
Can’t see what the problem is.

I cannot bear beards after I was hotly pursued by a James Last lookalike on holiday once. He gave me the creeps!

I did read on Mumsnet - am I allowed to mention them> - that beard hair is of the same type as pubes!! The thought of one nestling into my face .........................!!

Ohhhh my life !!!!

Its funny but it's soooo NOT

MrJ has a lovely tidy beard, love him, love his beard.

Ahhh now THAT is not bad whatsoever....

I mean the type of beard that resembles 1 of the cast of Planet of the Apes !!! Eeeeeek

PS I thought the fashion for beards had waned now. I hope so.

Not round here its not !!!! Gee wizz, its like planet of the apes !

Good to put it out there though.

We can't all like the same thing.

At first I wondered is it because they lost their hair on their head that they felt the need to grow hair elsewhere, then I saw men with both. Must admit I could start a flippin beard with the amount of hair sprouting through...!!

My grandad used to give me chin pie hahaha, almost ripped the skin off my face...

Our 4 sons go between clean shaven, goatees and full on beards, their choice.

They look handsome whatever their facial hair.

I am partial to a nicely trimmed beard.

Horrible. I always think men with beards are trying to hide some ugly feature, or have an insecure personality.

Oo, I don't mind a beard. They certainly tickle your fancy.....

(Pauses to check "fancy" hasn't autocorrected to something else)

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

Beards hideous? I can think of worse things than a bit of facial hair. My eldest son has got a beard, keeps it neat and clean (never once seen food in it). He's meticulous about his appearance, and uses lots of products on his skin, hair and beard.

DH has beautifully kept beard and has for most of our married life.

There seems to be a fashion amongst male soap opera actors to grow beards just now.
Some of them look gastly, e.g. Kevin Webster of Corrie.

I’m not keen, I like stubble on say, David Beckham, but a full blown Uncle Albert beard no, not on anybody.

I love them, always have.
I always see it as rather childish when a grown woman uses the word disgusting about something as innocuous as a beard.

Some really men suit them, James Middleton comes to mind.

MrA grows a beard most Winters to keep his face warm. Usually it's quite close cropped but when he doesn't bother to trim it it gets quite bushy and he looks like Father Christmas when he has his glasses on. Not that he lets it get long though. He suffers a bit shaving so really enjoys not having to do it.

My last partner had one I don’t mind them it suited him anyway one day I encouraged him to shave it off but I never could get used to his face without it so he regrow it My eldest grandson has a nice neat little beard very well groomed and
I ve never seen any food near it hes clean as a new pin

Well, I love beards, always have always will. DH and DS are offshore engineers and archaeologists respectively and you simply cant be taken seriously in either profession without a beard.

As for all this stuff about food in beards, not in this family, and in fact I have seen very few beards with food in. Why is worse than food alround the mouth or dribbling down people's shirt fronts?

DS grew his beard because he has a sensitive skin and no matter what emollients he tried, after shaving his face was be red and itchy for hours, so, not unreasonably he decided against it.

I think you are in the minority Serendipity. You rarely see a bearded man without a partner. Who wants a partner who gives your face a wirebrushing everytime he gets intimate. Like DS I have sensitive skin and I certainly dont want to have my face constantly itchy and sore.

my DH

MDH, his father and now my son, have beards. All well groomed. I’m used to them and quite like them.

I don't mind them both SIL have had them at times and relations who were in the Navy often came home with them and were persuaded to shave them off.
I wonder how George the fifth kept mock turtle soup out of his?
