Maybe it's just The Placebo Effect, but I find that the application of beard products such as beard oil and the twice-weekly beard wash has vastly improved this crap on my face. My beard is much softer now, and I can thoughtfully stroke said beard while posting positive, uplifting, and mildly amusing words on this, the FSM Boarde. Everyone benefits from this.

I've decided to take a leaf out of the Entitled FSMers Guidebook and post my thoughts without reading ANY other posts that preceded it.

Funniest and best bullseye home-truth post of the day.
Deserves a number jim.

I make it a policy not to address "razor slaves" in this thread, Bill, but since you and I go back some years, I will once again state that the thread to which you are referring is open to all FSMers. Please feel free to contribute to it. smile

Now, we were talking about beards...

Bunch o hippies!!

If you want some friendly advice, get a haircut and take a bath. You wouldn't get hassled so much.

Out of utter laziness i shave every two weeks.
Over those last few days the clint stubble always looks older and more grizzled as the grey n white spouts along the jaw. I lose 10 years every 14 days!

Apparently it snowed in the north end of town at the weekend so I'll be growing my winter beard until may.

Kev, those of us with a natural elegance need not fear looking like the great unwashed. How do you plead?

Once you get north of 35, it's Catweasle all the way.
No one wants that Jeremy Corbyn or Noel Edmonds look.
I shave about twice a week. Probably should be 3, but I'm a lazy get.
The smoother I am, the more sugar I get wink

I once thought about opening a talk at a seminar with the words "I know what you're thinking - who's this with the head of Jeremy Corbyn and the body of Peter Crouch".

Decided against it. Probably for the better.

It could have been even worse. You could have shaved, immediately regretted it, and then addressed those seminar lunkheads by shouting "We're alright! We're alright! We're alright!"

Allow me to bring attention to this thread from three years or so prior to the birth of this one:

Yes, that previous thread was mentioned here some time ago. Thank you for posting it again, as it is an important historical document in itself.

Now that I'm in my late 40s, I suppose I should muster the fear of what will someday lie beneath my aging, unpreposessing face. That is, what future horrors await the unsuspecting middle-aged drip who makes the foolish(?) choice of shaving their face after years of beardedness.

I must never join the ranks of the Carsonian Razor Slaves again, for fear of what lies beneath.

Indeed. All rights reserved. wink

You are, however, wise to shave only every two weeks. Shaving every day, as I had done nearly every day for nine months this year, is quite painful. Cuts, rash, redness, stinging or inefficient aftershaves...all of these things took a heavy toll on my Phelpsface. I'm a sensitive soul, inside and out, so all that nearly daily shaving just plain hurt. I dislike stubble (as does Mrs. Phelps), so that is no middle ground for me.

Longest period with no shave - i think 2 and a half weeks!
Looked so old n' tatty.
Gone now, and a haircut to boot.

Had a few moments of weakness during which I seriously considered shaving the beard off again...

...but then I watched another episode of Give My Head Peace (GMHP), admired Tim McGarry's beardedness and have since recovered nicely...

...from those foolish thoughts of shaving my beloved facial hair, that is, not the over-the-topness of GMHP. wink
