Question for any bearded gentlemen (or ladies as I am not sexist)

[Baitrunner]

I have decided to grow a bit of facial hair to see what it looks like. Just so happens to coincide with Beardcember (after a poor showing in Movember).

 

My wife and her cousin thought it would be good to liven it up for Christmas and suggested some Beard Baubles!

 

Now it hasn't gotten too long yet, but wondered if any of the bearded clan on here had tried these?

I am up for a laugh, but not sure they will stay attached and I might end up with a mouthful of turkey and bauble on Christmas day

having looked at that link, I think you have had a close shave (pun intended) as they are OUT OF STOCK.

 

[Baitrunner]

I have half a beard - does that make me less lazy? It seems to take a lot longer than going for the "clean" look.    

 

I thought all good sailors had to have a beard - part of the culture

 

Donny, my wife's cousin makes Christmas decs - So the web site being sold out wasn't going to stop her!

 

If I get any baubles attached - I will post a picture

I have grown the whiskers in the past. Mostly in winter when working on building sites, and playing winter golf at the coast. The growing is the easy bit, the removal can be, and is OUCH!

 

Oh I have though had a tash since the late 70's, so have a start for a beard

_{I have a partial beard, never tried hanging baubles from it as they are kept under cover in my trousers.}  

[Baitrunner]

Martin, wrong baubles!

 

If you post pictures please put them in the members only section    

[JennyMorgan]

Why buy baubles to hang in a beard when it's so easy to adorn said embellishment with marmalade, tomato sauce, porridge etc at no extra cost?  

[JennyMorgan]

Man without a beard is like a woman without boobs

As a currently ex beardie,  I don't think I would want to "vagazzle" my facial hair. I am with JM on this one, in that the best adornments for a beard are, or once were, edible ones.

Having a beard is not being lazy, I have to trim it a least once a month or I could drift into seasonal work.

 

I am with JM with regards to the baubles.

Hi Alan,

 

IF I moved into full beard mode, I deffo would get that seasonal December job! I am ok with heights, have put up a few TV Ariels in my time 

 

Iain.

[Baitrunner]

Iain, but can you get down a chimney?

JM very disappointed you didnt opt for seasonal food items. A little Turkey, cranberry jelly and a piece of a toffee penny from the quality street tin. That would stick like glue!

[BroadScot]

 

 

Iain, but can you get down a chimney?

Hi Mark,

 

Only requires a sprinkling of magic dust, and a LOT of imagination!

 

Iain.

Oh JM Perleeease, foodstuff in beards yuk. From a female point of view the baubles would be great Mark (better than food anyway) but must post photos 

 

 lovely photo Alan (R/B)

as a long term beardie (and not because I am Lazy either - but you really don't need to see my chin, and I prefer insulation). I cant see the attraction of baubles (Bah Humbug I hear the cry)

my beard first started at school, when in the 5th form I calmly pointed out the rule that sixth formers must shave, and grew my beard, it did disappear for 2 years in the 6th form (as per the school rules) and reappeared when I left school and has stayed ever since. It has varied from shortish to ZZ top, even long enough to put in two short plaits at one point - But baubles? (glitter is bad enough, one year my beard got infested with glitter at an enthusiastic party- it was still surfacing 9 months and repeated washings later).

I started growing facial hair at about the age of 15, mainly cos it helped me get served under-age in pubs.  It started with extravagant sideburns, then a moustache and finally a beard, which I nurtured in various styles up until the age of 58, when I concluded that the beard looked older than the rest of me did. I have kept my 'tache and maintain the view that the best things to keep in a beard are edible ones.  Beer froth and dried egg are favoured.

[Baitrunner]

I such a late starter

[BroadScot]

May I remove your double post Mark? Just to keep things tidy.

[JennyMorgan]

I read in the Readers Digest that the average man spends three months of his life shaving, thinking that a total waste of three months I grew a beard, that was over fifty years ago. Not sure what I've done with those three months though!

[Baitrunner]

Iain. Of course. Too much playing with the phone makes you go blind

[BroadScot]

Mark,

 

I see you still had time to remove the double post.

 

Iain.

[JennyMorgan]

Mark, I thought it was bald, not blind! 

[Baitrunner]

Hm I didn't remove anything? Well not knowingly anyway. I could claim to be magic, but you might like it, not a lot

[Baitrunner]

Or both. That's magic

[ranworthbreeze]

Hi guys down to me, not any Christmas Magic
