Full Beards and Shaved Heads

[shyslyguy]

  But here is one with glasses and my grey goatee and one with hair and a full beard.  So do you think sly was the  best option.  Of course, I  am saying this to a prejudiced audience!  hehe

Without a doubt ... sly looks much better on you marsh. As for the full beard .... I think it rocks too ... I have to disagree with John Mont .... nothing at all wrong with a big beard & sly ... to me anyway.  It looks great. I can understand some of your concerns though as far as looking for work etc goes.

marshd, there's no question which one is the better look for you...... the shiny one!, and the goat looks great on you. I've always favored goatee's over full beards though.

Marshd  --- the sly look definitely works for you.  I think both the full beard and goat look good, but I prefer the goat.  The full beard makes you look a little intimidating, which can be very effective.

That's a good look for you too, jp_ but I think the new goatee is a keeper.

Yo JP ...   The full beard looks cool, but the goatee (especially w/the sunglasses) looks way cool.

Full beard with a bald head looks good, I tried it a few months ago and just couldn't see it through.

In regards to your church, I personally find it much more welcoming to attend a church where people look different and express themselves. I feel much more comfortable in a church where there are a motley bunch of folks with tattoos and piercings etc. than where everyone looks like Steven Colbert (sans the funny).

Just do it, if it doesn't work out, you can always shave

I didn't mean to give the impression that there is a problem with my church and having a shaved head and full beard.  I just don't want to have a undue focus on me being on the worship team if I had a bit more of a unusual look.  The full beard and shaved head I don't believe is a unusual look.  I was thinking more of a BIG beard and shaved head might be more unusual look.  It it more of a ME problem in my mind than it is with my church.  I also agree that it is good when you see people of all sorts, ie: piercings and tattoos in church.  My church is cool with that.  I know of quite a few churches that are QUITE embracing of all these looks.  But that's another subject for another forum.  Interestingly enough, last week, a friend of my pastor joined the worship team.  Plus he rocks the sly look and has a trimed greying  beard and glasses.  So maybe someday, when I am not looking for a new job, I'll grow mine out again.  Then there will be TWO bearded sly guys with glasses singing!

I am a HUGE fan of beards and since I started shaving at the age of 15 have more often than not kept facial hair. I personally think that beards are cool. Think of Michael Mcdonald from his 80's days or Kenny Loggins from then. As of today I will give the full beard a shot.

Well, over a week ago, I got lazy in shaving my face.  I have always found it easier to shave the noggin as compared to the face.  While I still need to look for a job, I have grown the beard out and might keep it short.  We will see.  But I thought you might enjoy a recent pic of me taken today!  So do you think I look like a mean mutha?  hehehe

Looks good Marsh!

JPBald....I think you look better with eye brows....just my opinion..sorry

[SLYinKC]

I wore a full beard for over a year back when I was twenty-something and had a stache for a little over 20 years straight.  Now-days, I can't ever grow a good goat.  Love the facial hair look, but it's just not in the cards for me, now.  Gotta have to love the Mr. Clean look.

[Stu]

So do you think I look like a mean mutha?

Nah, I'm just jealous at your ability to grow such a great beard in such a short period of time.

JPBald....I think you look better with eye brows....just my opinion..sorry

TimmJ, I have to agree with you on that.
Hey JP/aka Iker, you should grow back those brows.

So TimmJ, I guess this means that your never gonna shave your brows!
