Can we talk about facial hair?

Older guys look like they just got out of the hospital, exhibit 1:

(Moderately cheap) Japanese whiskey...

I tried unsuccessfully. My two day w/o a shave look is ok - but I too produce that homeless guy look.

I have a Norelco beard trimmer.

Basically, it works like a lawn mower. I just adjust the depth-of-cut and cut away. I use it every two weeks or so.

Not into the Yasser Arafat look. Never was, never will be.

Closest I’ve ever approached facial hair is the Leon Trotsky goatee and stash or the Joe Stalin moustache.

Settled on the clean shaven Bonaparte look. Although I didn’t dislike the Uncle Joe moustache.

Closest thing I ever had to facial hair is 5 or so days without shaving in the hospital after transplant. Just never been interested.

Every now and then I will go a couple weeks without shaving, but the last time I actually though to grow a beard my daughter came home from college and cried "Auggh! Homeless!".

Can we please talk about pubic hair, too?

[Jolly]

Why, you got any?

[Klaus]

I will only say that I was clean-shaven until 1997.

I noticed the beards coming back about 10 years ago, and even mustaches now. All styles are cyclical... All my brothers (and dad) have them, but I've never let it grow for more than 2 weeks. Got too itchy... now I let it grow but shave it every 5 days or so. I like the look and feel of a few days of growth, but can't get into the longer stuff.

I haven't paid much attention. Yesterday at the gym I decided to look around, far less than half had facial hair, not counting some two day Sunday stubble.

And it's not just guys in my demographic there, its right off the parkway only a few miles from Yonkers, so there's a mix of ages and ethnicities.
