FOR those of U with facial hair...

[Laser Man]

I started out without facial hair and it was fine.  I started growing a mustache and goatee in September and now wouldn't think of shaving it off!

[Sir Harry]

Between drills, I either keep a Van Dyke or a chinstrap....sometimes for drill I shave the beard but keep the moustache at different widths depending on my mood...Last year overseas I did shave my moustache on four different occasions (twice I was shaping it up and made a mistake and the other two times were for lost bets involving sports .

Way back when I first started shaving I had a smooth face. Now I mainly keep some sort of facial hair, it is always changing. Most of the time I grow a stubble beard for a month or so then trim it to a goatee then shave it off after another month and start all over. I dislike how I look with a smooth face, I think it makes me look too young which for now isn't too great

I have had a beard for over three years now.  I kept it when I first went sly a couple of months ago.  I am starting to go gray in the beard at 31 years old...I decided to go clean shaven a couple of weeks ago to try it out.  I am kinda liking me clean shaven.  I look a little younger!

I've been clean shaven at times over the years, but usually bearded (goatee and mustache) over the years.  Longest time with out facial hair was for about two years ending this past September when I started growing what now appears in my avatar.  I'm keepin it for the foreseeable future, maybe for good.

Sly and clean Shavin for me. Of course, I'm not allowed facial hair in the service... Well I can have a mustache, but with the strict regulations the Air Force has for mustaches, it's not even worth it. So sly and clean shaved face is the way I go. Although if I could grow facial hair, I'd only grow a soul patch. It's the only kind of facial hair I had and liked having before I joined.

My upper lip has not seen the sun since 1968.  I sported a full beard from 1978 until 2006.

I shaved my beard off in 1986 - my young kids said I was not their dad; my wife was upset because I shaved, and even my mother told me to grow it back.  My shaved face lasted 2 days.

In 2006, I trimmed the full beard to a Van Dyke.  Since then, it has been back and forth between the full beard and the Van Dyke.  It is a pain to shave around the Van Dyke, so I now have the full beard again.

It seems odd that I hate to shave my face, but enjoy shaving my head.

I don't find it odd in the least.

I am the same, wouldn't think of shaving the Van Dyke now  - -It is part of me  - -and goes well with the BALD DOME.

I look like a kid in high school if i get rid of what little facial hair I have. The facial hair gives a certain level of toughness to my looks so I will not get rid of it.

[imaginary]

I have always had some form of facial hair since 2005, and my face has not seen the light of day since 2010.

[baldsurfer]

It's funny. When I have hair, no matter how short, I comfortably go from goatee to full beard to clean shaven without a second thought. It just doesn't matter.

But when I shave my head completely, I hate how I look without at least a goatee. Clean shaven head and face is the ONLY look that makes me feel insecure about my appearance. So I always make sure I have a good goat in place before I go sly.

[isleepinthebuff]

I hate if i trim my beard too short

[The Noggin]

I like to change beard styles from time to time. Last autumn it was Mr. Clean, now trying the full beard.

[Slynito]

Me too, but haven't been Mr. Clean since you wuz a kid.
