Trendy Beards Why ?

[Nikolai]

The gingers seem to have the monopoly on beards in Bristol.

2 minutes in the city centre confirms this generalisation. Ginger hair? Check. Beard? Check. Other items score bonus points such as vintage or retro wooly hat, sports jacket, glasses, skinny jeans, satchel stolen from a tramp, etc.

Of course I'm really just jealous cause I don't have any style let alone ginger hipster style, not enough hair to go full hipster and rubbish facial hair that won't lend itself to pleasant beard growth. Grrr

The beard trend has gone on for a long time, so much so that I find beards to have become unfashionable.

That said, I'd probably grow one if I could but, at 26, all I can sport is the most pathetic excuse for a teenie stubble you've ever seen.

Lots of talk here but no pictures, I shall buck the trend.

My wife likes my beard, she says it makes me look less aggressive, bless.



I think it makes me look like a 'cycle path'.

I liked you as Buzzsaw in The Running Man...but you haven't done much since.

Beat me to it

The beard has replaced the Fu Manchu as the facial hairstyle of choice amongst the SF community. Dead easy to spot a seal now.



Unless it's a violent hipster of course.

That embarrassing bright red square of skin on the forehead that marks out those SEALs that reverse the cap to look cool but forget the sunblock.

I shave once per week, because frankly I find it a waste of my life to spend any more time on such a task.
And when I do shave, I use one of those beard trimmers, so even on the shortest setting, I still have stubble.

So I spend my days in a in permanent state of designer stubble/semi-beard, but not for any kind of a fashion statement.

I've only really noticed it very recently. Young lads with beards but shaved hairstyles.

I normally don't have one (used to shave after a week), but currently leaving the stubble to grow for a bit because shaving has always been an arse and I don't have to.

I couldn't grow one even if I wanted to

Ooh violent hipsters, ChemicalChaos' ultimate nightmare.

I'm not allowed to grow one due to work but it would be pathetic anyway if I did. During holidays Im capable of growing awesome Guy Martin/Michael Dunlop style sideburns but the wife hates them.

They will come and go like most fasions I guess. Wearing daft spectacles for the sake of fasion pisses me off even more. Especially the Deidrie Barlow style ones that young women wear with stupid hats!

Right, I'm growing my long moustache now to qwell these bearded-types.

Hipsters will be on to that next year. You'll say you did it before them and accidentally turn yourself into a hipster.

I blame Sons Of Anarchy for all the beards :
