Coronavirus beards

[stavros]

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 fuckView attachment 207341

Is anyone's facial hair symmetrical? Mine certainly isn't.

That’s life affirming.

Yeah but the bald spot means I can't have a fully joined up beard and it's annoyed me

No it doesn't.

I've got the same in the same place.



That's 3 weeks since I was last clean shaven. It's alopecia. I get it on my head every now and then as well, especially at the sides which is why I normally sport a skin fade. I've got a large bald patch on my throat as well but I shave that anyway because it itches like fuck. It does fill in after a while but it'll probably just move to somewhere else. I've had it for years and learned not to give a toss about it.

Anything I can ease this inconvenience with?

I used anti-dandruff (beardruff) shampoo and that helps, and beard oil or balm to lard up the skin to stop flakiness or itchiness. It really helps.

I think mine is - although difficult to tell accurately. It seems to grow scruffily in the same areas on both sides of my face anyway.

This is no more, having gone under the guillotine (aka. razor) this morning:

Got rid of mine today too. Just constantly felt a bit dirty. I don't like being clean shaven but I also don't like the mankiness of a few weeks growth. Gonna stick my decade odd long habit of shaving with hair trimmers on just the metal once every four or five days or so.

I'm letting it grow , usually I keep the neck beard at bay but fuck it . Looking forward to my santa gigs

It's a Bittern tee-shirt

Having gone the other way and removed mine after a few years in the name of infection control, I'm quite liking it. A fair few people have said how much younger I look as well. Does mean actually having to buy razers though...

Showing excellent knowledge of Bitterns there

Just shaved it all off last night, had shaved it into a goatee sort of thing earlier - but I like it when it is mainly stubble, when it gets to be more hair like I like it less. It had to go, and now I am back to my face.. I like my face!

Still fluffy - getting a decent bumfluff

 

[Dogsauce]

Might was getting pretty bushy, gets quite wide if I leave it this long. Had a well overdue tidy-up with the clippers on no.2 last night and look a decade younger.

 

[bmd]

What's this about? Are we saying that, like Robinson Crusoe, we have been marooned far away from any semblance of shaving kit. or what?

Mine is coming along nicely, btw.

Give me a few weeks, and I'll rival you.

I was sat here, with my little brain, trying to work out what you meant. And then I did.

Shaved it off yesterday

 

[kebabking]

Hair is a #2/#1 blend, and the mutton chops got a #2 trim. I think they are unlikely to last the week.

Three big lessons learned so far 1) a neck beard irritates the fuck out of me. 2) a tache irritates the fuck out of me. 3) I like to fiddle, to adjust, to experiment - I can not just let it lie.

You need beard oil or balm if it's itching, and causing beardruff. It works well. I also use anti-dandruff shampoo on my beard to keep the flakes away.

 

[kebabking]

Oh it's not physically itchy, it's just irritating by dint of being there.

You're just a lightweight really - you should be fluffy and proud, not moan about an immutable fact of manhood.
