What's the consensus on facial fuzz?

I haven't shaved since new year but that's more laziness than a fashion statement. Plus most girls like a bit of rough...

I don't like stubble as it scratches. I suppose it could be ok if you got past the stubble stage and to a proper beard.

I am more impressed with a good moustache but I woudnt let the other half have one of those either.

Join the beard revolution my friend! I've been bearded since new year too; although I am a bit cheesed off to find my chin has more grey than black - I'm only 29!

I've discovered that shaving without a mirror may lead to uneven sideburns.

Sébastien Chabal (French Rugby), Hashim Amla (Sth Africa Cricket) & Mohammad Yusuf (Pakistan Cricket)...

These three are all pretty beardy, but only Sébastien Chabal's beard has the power to scare even the dead.

Most girls I've been with have preferred a clean shaven face. It does tend to be like wiping your girlfriends face with sandpaper when your faces touch... Or so I'm told.. ;)

What the hell are you doing face to face man? flip her over and play the B-side if she doesn't like it :cool:

Chabal's beard is awesome :D My fluff could never compare to that.

Sadly I can't grow a proper beard :( And even if I did it would be ginger! (I have dark brown hair)

i've got dark brown hair and my facial hair is certainly not ginger.

It runs in my family. No one is ginger yet both my dad and granddad had ginger mustaches. I'd really like to grow a mustache for comedy value.

Alot of people in the local area call ginger people carrot cakes!

Fair enough :)

Whenever I grow a bit of stubble people think I'm trimming it :mark:

I've got a moustache that is almost seperate from my beard, a little triangle bumfluff thing under my lip and a bald patch under my chin :mark: But then again I hardly ever have more than 2 weeks growth and probably never will :)

Strange this thread has come up. I was sitting in a seminar yesterday thinking, I wonder if I should grow a beard :p

Probably not a full one, just not shave on weekdays, for example!

I tried to grow a moustache for charity (let them grow their own [Paul Merton]) and it did not go well. After a whole month it looked like a bit of teenage bum-fluff and like many it had a few flecks of ginger.

Maybe when I'm older and can pull off the Bill Bailey look I'll have another go, but until then no face fuzz for me.

I've had a full beard for the last three years and it is quite comfortable.

Girls dig it, makes you look more mature. :D

Add pipe and tweed jacket, and hang round Uni. They'll be calling you 'Professor' in no time. ;)

I don't mind a neat, close beard... though Johnny Depp clearly pulled off a fantastic longer one as Jack Sparrow. *dribbles*

I think I've got used to them now. I don't like the stubble rash, but I positively hated it when my bloke shaved his beard off. It just didn't look like him at all and it freaked me out a little.

They'll be calling me something starting with P but it won't be Prof!

My wife hates it. My ex was open to me trying a moustache, but after 2 weeks people asked me if I had dirt on my upper lip.

My beard is even more pathetic. So my current wife hating moustaches and beards is good...because I cant grow them anyhow.

I used to play with the size and shape of my sideburns. First I wore them straight, thin and long and then bushy and extending forward, like Elvis'. Interesting enough, it drew the attention of women but after they thought they were in a good enough relationship with me they would inevitably say 'You sure will shave them off, won't you honey?' :)

I only have a goatee, ( or a full beard when I'm very lazy and don't want to shave) it makes me look older :laugh:

last time I was clean shaved, I look like I'm 12 :laugh: so I'll stick to facial hair

Lol...typical women. They like who you are, and then the minute they are secure in the relationship, they start wanting to make changes to make you more the man THEY think you should be...lol.

Well, its gone. I am once again clean shaven - although my face looks weird to my own eyes.

No beard here, although my hair grows ridiculously fast so I can grow one at will. I get complained at if I don't shave though :p

I've not shaved with a straight blade in years. Typically use the clippers once a week with no comb attached...

Gets a bit scarggly towards the end, but I don't care....

The Mr Cool of mustaches in his younger days was Tom Selleck. I think all guys should be clean shaven when they start dating someone new cos' it can be quite a shock when they suddenly turn up without the beard and mustache. I have been known to have a change of heart at that point.

Don't shave, hate it, I'd rather spend an extra 5-10 minutes asleep than shaving.


I normally run a hair trimmer without a comb over it every couple of weeks. I think my wife would rather I shaved, she says it makes me look years younger when I do. :)

I'm very much a bearded one at the moment, but that's simply because I can't be arsed to shave at the moment. I do tend to trim it up once or twice a week and it's getting to the point where I will shave it off and keep it off because the grey is fast overtaking the black.

My wifes remark the other morning was that it looked like I had dribbled milk down my chin and let it dry.................nice :\

I still have pitiful facial hair growth. But waaaay too much under my armpits. :(

I have one, although more out of laziness than any great fashion statement. Plus it makes me look a couple of years older.

Having said that I've been keeping it trim since I got one of these for Christmas, can transform even the most awkward and well-established growth into neat stubble in the matter of a couple of minutes with absolutely zero razor burn, rather than a wet shave which would always take ages and leave me looking about 18 afterwards and require copius amounts of after shave balm to keep my face from turning bright red:
