Coronavirus beards

[existentialist]

OK, so it's lockdown. You're shut in at home, wearing the arse out of your jogging bottoms. You're going for the Wild Man of the Hills look as far as haircuts are concerned (or the opposite - the redneck chic of a #2 clip).

But what about the face furniture? Are you standing a little further away from your razor than usual? Going for the full Mountain Man, or experimenting with some physiognomical topiary?

Post the evidence here. I'll get you started.

An early effort.


Bit of growth, bit of trimming


Going for the #1 tidyup...

Some people achieve this in hours, it's about 10 days worth!

This was beginning of last week. Was such a pain in the arse shaving the bleddy thing off that I've gone back to regular razoring.

 

[Proper Tidy]

Mine was getting alright then I grade twod it but must have caught some of it at an angle cos it looked like I'd just not been arsed shaving for a few days. Gonna leave it go wild now apart from the neckline

We should all use the opportunity to let our beards run free. Fuck shaving.

You'll probably grow one so wild, that seagulls could nest in it.

Me and my lodger:

I've tried to chop my three-week fuzz back into a goatee format. The results are, to put it mildly, unconvincing.

You'll be a shoo-in for the Santa gigs at Christmas (if there ever is another Christmas!)

I'd stick to the dark, if I were you

I think my beard growth has speeded up as I have become more elderly. I used to get away with shaving every other day in my yoot, but no more. ISTR it started to happen about the same time as my ears started sprouting and my eyebrows developed delusions of being a hairline.

I don't need a pandemic to grow a beard ffs

Funny enough, that photo was taken on the first day I had seen my brother in weeks, in the queue at Tesco, and what with the red t-shirt, he described it as the Santa look.

Aye, it starts thinning on top, and then popping out further down, that's the forces of gravity, over the years, at work.

This thing growing on me at the moment is pulling/itching/annoying the fuck out of me.

Anything I can ease this inconvenience with?

Nah, it's definitely there. Hang in there...

Would Love to but missus and I have a bet with the family we won’t shave heads (both) or beard (me) for the duration of lock-in.

You daft twat.

My head hair has a tinge of ginge, but what purports to be my beard is genuinely orange. My chin resembles an out-of-date satsuma.

I think it's going to have to come off this weekend. It's getting on my tits a bit (as a turn of phrase only).

 

[The Octagon]

On the verge of messy, shamed by the facial hair on the gentlemen behind me.

 

[Proper Tidy]

I have a little bald patch in my facial hair. I'm not being an arty dick with the black and white photo btw it just shows it better. Anyway I normally have stubble but not a semi beard and have never noticed that little patch. It's only on one side. What the fuck

 

[existentialist]

I ran a #1 over mine yesterday, as it was getting a bit scratchy. Pruning.

 

[lefteri]

i read somewhere that facial hair can harbour the virus plus it lessens the efficacy of face masks - so for the first time in years i shaved it off - then it’s grown back and i cba
