I was wondering what style of facial hair all you gents (I’m omiting the ladies from this for obvious reasons) are currently sporting on your face? Untill yesterday I had a full, medium length beard, then shaved last night to a Franz Josep(h) which I’ve had before and love having. How about you? Pictures if you’ve got them. (The pic is of the one I had around Christmas last year, the one I have now is much better…)
Well here’s one of me in wonky colors. I’ll see what else I can dig up.
I shave all the hair on my face and head
I live or die by my moustache!
Koba22 I would love to do that but how the hell do you get it straight ? The sides and lines etc . Is their some trick ?
Can I ask peeps here how u stop snuff plastering you’r beard ??? I always look like hitler when my bears is short lol
@Mr. Nose my good man that moustache is glorious! What wax do you use? I’m going to be growing mine for Grow a Mo, Save a Bro Mo(vember) and I’m going to need some. @joe I’m not really sure, I just grow a full beard and then shave it. I use a Merkur safety razor with Merkur blades which are pretty decent and just do it a bit at a time. I’ll put up a pic of the Franz I have at the moment in a bit. With regards to ‘plastering’ my facial hair is pretty dark, so the brown smudging I get doesn’t show up, plus snuff doesn’t make me sneeze so I don’t get much of it anyway.
Thanks @koba22 I don’t sneeze now much (well apart from the odd fit as mentioned in Nother topic ) its getting it up their from the back of my hand … Tecnique wrong I gues
Just taken a couple of pictures. Sorry about the vacant look and the odd expression, I don’t really like having them taken! Looking at them, you can really see the brown staining on the tache which I didn’t notice before.
Love the shape !! Oooo I feel bad now haha everyone’s going to notice their Brown tashes even more !!! But I may give that shape a try …
I just let mine grow and shave it off when it gets long enough to bother me. Being a hairy git it only takes me a few weeks to have a substantial beard.
I’ve experimented with a number of facial hair styles over the years, but keep coming back to a closely cropped jawline version of the short boxed style:
I usually let it grow a bit heavier for the upcoming Winter.
I’ve had a full beard (with one brief, unfortunate interlude) since I was 18.
Handsome fellas here!
Howdy! This is how I used to look… When I was an aspirant to a monastery and the abbot told me that the handlebars would probably have to go, I cut them off the same night. I now sport a short goatee instead.
Just the sideburns; it’s all I can grow. Can’t grow a mustache or goatee; ends up looking like a toilet brush.

I had a beard when I was 18 until 20 or late 19. I did a mustache, but I looked like John Holmes. Now, I shave every day. It sucks getting old. Don’t get me started on nose/ear hair. Had I known what shaving entailed when I was a kid, I would have never wanted to start. I never would have thought that nose hair needed to be trimmed in the same interval as shaving… We certainly are animals. I did the straight razor routine for 8 years, the safety razor routine for a couple years, but switched to a disposable. I have said it before and I will say it again, I know why so many guys had beards back then, when straight razors were all that were available… Because they are such a PitA. I should probably shave twice a day, but such is life.
@Koba22: I make my own mustache wax. It’s simply a mix of beeswax and petroleum jelly. Adjusting proportions to get the consistency you need. I need a stiffer wax so I use more beeswax. I also add jojoba oil for conditioning, and essential oils to give it a nice scent. @Joe: I keep the drips out of my moustache for the most part. Everyonce in awhile it will become a small disaster though. Yesterday at work I blew out some SG Kendal Brown and got a nice cake of it in my stache. It comes off pretty easily with a hanky though, I just have to reshape my curls afterwards.
I don’t have a moustache, but I normally wear a gotee… (is that how you spell it?) It keeps my chin warm in the winter!
