seems like modern man has less hair on head and less on his face. any historical programme you watch features men with facial hair of some type. huge beards seem to be the norm around the founding of the gaa. so whats the story do you have a facial decoration maybe a little tuft under you bottom lip...? is your beard grey? do you spend time trimming..? or do you just have the mickey hart growth. its been suggested that a group of lads grow beards for charity and shave around christmas. have you done it.

I have to be clean shaved all the time, I detest the feel of 5 o'clock shadow and the next time I have facial hair will be the first time.

Tried growing a beard once and it itched like hell and I had a hard time keeping it clean, caused a lot of acne under there. Never again.

It's usually the oppsite grow a beard to stop the itch and cover the acne. I like a bit of stubble myself.

Id grow the beard for 8 weeks the odd time then spend an hour shaving it off in as many different patterns as possible. My life's one rollercoaster after another.

I grew a beard around this time last year. Had a nightmare keeping it clean. After 6 months, the bloody thing turned ginger. It had to come off then.

My goatee is only there to give the impression that I have a chin.

I have a full beard now since 2007. Had a bit of a goatee on and off at Uni or when I was 16 and trying to get into the Arena.
Thankfully my woman likes a beard on me - it's great to not have to shave every day.

Grew a beard by default in the spring when I was too lazy to shave for a few weeks, have not been allowed shave it off since.

Trimmed down to a very guy fawkes 'stache and soul patch for a week and was almost kicked out of the house.

No problems with itching or acne and only having to shave the neck once or twice a week is great.
