Facial Hair.....And Hats

[1961MJS]

Hi, I "started" my mustache about October 1979 in college. I was shaving one morning and someone called my name while shaving my upper lip. I turned to answer them with the blade still between my nose and lip, slicing a shallow 1.5 inch slit under my nose. When the cut healed, I had a mustache. It's NEVER gone away.

Stories like that make me glad I use an electric. I'm so jumpy and prone to startling that naked blades and my neck should never meet - especially when I'm groggy in the morning.

Ive gone back and forth over the years between razors and electrics. Ive been using a Norelco now for many years and Im very happy with it. Great shave, no irritation, and no cuts.

So now I'm curious: what makes up the "other" category in the poll? As of now, eight people voted for "other", so what constitutes "other" in their eyes?

Right. Also, guys could have a 'Van Dyke,' just an Imperial. Heck, I even knew a guy that had a full stache and beard on only one side of his face!

You just reminded me of this page that I found a few years ago.

Had a moustache since age 16, shaved only a few times, but my wife doesn't like me without it (neither do I) so I keep it. Every couple of years or so, I grow a beard, usually for the winter season, keep it well-trimmed, then shave it in the spring. Never wore a goatee or Vandyke, I think I look sinister with it. I think beards and hats go well, you do have that Amish or Rabbi appearance sometimes, especially with a black hat.

Well what would you call the patch of hair under lower lip ???

If one would have one of those along with or not along with a stache my guess is it would be other???

Don't know if they have a name for that but it seems to be popular now....

Hi, it's important to have a backup plan. I was using a Norelco with a trimmer to shave my beard off for the Spring. The trimmer part broke. I was in college and had no scissors, so I walked around with a 1 inch wide 2 inch deep beard on my left chin for an hour. Apparently it was too funny to help with...

Starting about 25 years ago I started taking my family snowmobiling in Yellowstone over the Christmas holidays to get away from this Texas heat for at least a few days. During the trip I would not shave and always hated having to shave it off when I got home. About 15 years ago I decided that "if they didn't like it they can lump it" (others, the family seemed to like it) and left it on...I'm basically a throwback any how. So, I cast my vote for the full trimmed beard...

Moustahce and goatee for spring/summer/fall. Full bear in winter. I've had a moustache (wiht and without other facial hair) for about 30years.

Shaved clean three summers ago and hated it. The only problem is the amount of gray keeps increasing!

Ahh, Gray is a color of HAIR and if it's still attached, all is well....

Yep, Id rather have gray hair than no hair!

I'm a practising muslim so I always have a full beard....like so

I have worn a full beard and stache since I was old enough to grow it.
However, radiation treatments made it impossible for me to grow hair on the right side of my face so I have had to adopt the van dyke style since then.
