I've noticed beards seem to be coming back in fashion.where do you stand on them? I like a well trimmed beard on a man but long bushy ones are a no no.

My Husband has always had a beard, when we first met in 1992 he had a full grizzly Adams beard, but now he has a much shorter under control one, i love it and scrubble my fingers in it all the time :-)

I have never seen my husband without a beard - he grew it when he was in the Navy as a young officer -in those days it was dark but his hair fair - now he is bald and his beard white! I have the feeling that if he was to shave it off now he would look like a boiled egg! He is in demand a lot around the 25th of December and for a long time the grandchildren thought their Grandpa was actually Santa.
He looked incredibly dashing in his uniform in his youth and now he is a little rumpled around the edges but in my eyes as adorable as ever! However.....I might add......it really is mightly prickly!

My husband looks good in pink shirts too, Nonu, they really suit him. smile

It is quite amazing though Kitty isn"t it , if it had been suggested 25 to 30 years ago they would have run a mile .

Don"t we love them to death .

Likewise my ex, kitty. And my DS1 wears all sorts of colours of shirts and t-shirts. DS2 is far more conventional.

The late Mr.G wore a purple shirt and black corduroy suit when I met him 40 years ago, but never a beard or moustache!

My ex also wore pink shirts, and striped ones, in the 70s.

Only just entered the 'beard room'. Paul Hollywood..... yes, wow. Apart from the silver fox, anyone with a beard laced with last night's spagbol is a definite no no.

Beards ....i had one when I was in my 40s a Christopher Lee type shaped etc. I looked very sinister just like Count Dracul and sitting in the back of a car one day I thought `what a miserable b`stard I looked so I shaved it off and people actually spoke to me after..lolgrin
