Still, Snarr says the only voter who matters is his wife, April, who calls her husband's mustache "obnoxious." Isn't that grounds for a divorce? |

My own dear wife, in a fit of curiosity, had me shave mine some 2 years into our marriage. Realize, I have had facial hair since I was 13 and few if any can remember me not having one. I acquiesced, being a dutiful husband. Shortly after exiting the water closet, I was asked, in no uncertain terms, how long it would take for me to grow it back. After almost 18 years of marriage, she only gets slightly perturbed when I go on a wild tangent and trim it into something "artistic".
I say stand firm lads.

Ha! Did you copy that out of my journal? My wife and I have been together, dating or married, for just over 10 years. She's seen me without my chin whiskers exactly once.

My wife used to complain, so I shaved it off just after Christmas and she ended up sheepishly suggesting that I could grow it back if I really wanted.

I am constantly telling my man that all he needs to do is trim the sides every so often. But nooooo, whenever he gets it into his head to shave, the whole lot comes off  . Apparently it's less effort to take the whole lot, as he 'doesn't have to think about stopping'. Bah! *Defends chin-quilt with vigour*. |

I have only once in recent history entirely removed my tonsurial efforts, and recieved such abuse due to the fact that it took 10 years from my apparent age that it was swiftly put back in place. Nowadays I veer between a full beard + stache and a lip bristle + short goatee, depending on how tidy I can bothered on keeping things  |

I drew a similar goatee onto my current avi. As for my mustache, it isnt thick enough to make a birdnest nor is it to braid, but at least it's very apparent!

I last shaved my face on 22 September, 1974, and my facial foliage has survived 3 marriages and a number of other relationships... it's a matter of priorities  |

Ladies. Gents, et al,
It has been my habit for years to grow a full beard in the Winter, and to remove it in the Spring. This habit dates back to my years spent as a land Surveyor, when it was a matter of practicality. I did remove my beard this Spring, but actually am regrowing my mustache as of the time of this writing. My beard grows abnormally fast anyway, and I once had an Air Force barber ( who had shaved thousands) opine that mine was the toughest beard he had ever shaved, comparing the consistency of my chin whiskers to "copper wire." In the Winter, I do not trim it, and it is easier to cut the whole thing come Spring than to try and apply any style to it. I am going to attempt to train the mustache, but have had little success with such endeavours in the past.

I wish I had taken a picture before I trimmed my facial hair really short (for a Veterans...Armed Forces Day dinner where I wore a WWII uniform, then the next day when we placed flags on all of the veteran's graves...) Hey... it will grow back..... I'll trim/shave my chin and upper cheeks again tomorrow, so it won't look so scraglgy..... |

Mr. O'Byrne, you should definitely compete next year! Brass Goggles needs representation at the WBMC. One of the local Portland steampunks (he's sometimes on BG as christopher delamaison) is in Alaska competing! IIRC, he won a second place award in the regional competition. Mrs. S. |

It seems they happen every two years. If I haven't had to shave since then, maybe I will! *Strokes his beard, still currently shaped like King Leonidas' in 300*

They are simply just wooden beads I got at the craft store. I varnish/laquered them and to keep them on, I wrapped the lock of beard with a rubber band and slid the bead over the band snuggly. I won't lie though, the first few times you do it it'll hurt because it feels like you have someone tugging on your beard.
