Reclaiming my face

Jan 03, 2007 23:04

Last week I had enough of my beard becoming ensnared in my work, waking up to a mouthful of it in the morning, and the general raggedness that I was not in the mood to try and deal with. So, it got clipped back to a combination #8/#4. Couple that with a #1 buzzcut and I feel the effects of the rather mild winter cold for a while ( Read more... )

Somehow, I knew you'd say that. ;)

I'm going to try again one day.

To be a bit serious - I understand guys who work with high speed lathes or drill presses or the like not wanting a beard long enough to get caught in the works.

Beards also do go through "phases" as they grow out. Think in terms of someone growing his hair out long - there's that really frustrating phase where it's long enough to get in your eyes and drive you crazy - but it's not QUITE long enough to put in a pony tail. You just have to ride 'em out.

At one time I had shoulderblade-length hair. Problem there is my hair is (was) thick and very fine. The slightest breeze would waft it everywhere, and it got oily fast. It was a lot of fussing to make it not be unruly. I gave up on that by around '79 or so.

These days I can forget about that. ;)

Still, I might try once again with the beard. I know it can be pinned up to stay out of machinery, but I feel that would be more fussing than I want to out up with. How do you do it?
