You are self-isolating and potentially no-one knows what you look like (unless you have to use MS Teams 😊)

You know you can’t get your hair cut, so why not go the whole ‘Hermit’ look and grow a beard?

Movember facial hair will be seen as the ‘little brother’ to a Covid-19 beard.

So, who is in?

Pics needed at the end of April, then May and then who knows?

I was thinking this yesterday whilst scratching that annoying itchy neck you get after not shaving for a few days. I'm probably going to go full yetti as i was on the cusp of a haircut anyway. Not going to see anyone so what the hell.

I know a few that have shaved their heads for the same reason.

I haven't been without facial hair since 1978, so a bit pointless, really.

1968 here though I reserve the right to shave should I need to mask up.

Have trimmed my own hair with a No1 every two weeks or so for the last 20 years and have facial hair so it doesn't cause me any issues.

My other half, on the other hand, has her hair coloured every 4 weeks or so to disguise the grey roots as they come through so will not be a happy bunny in a few weeks, and her daughter owns a hairdressing salon that has been forced to close to make it worse hehe

I generally only shave when going to the pub, so I've decided to just leave it until I can do that again. Or until it gets annoying, which could be any day now.

I haven't gelled my hair all week, and what with being about 2 weeks overdue a haircut anyway, I'm starting to look like a cross between a mid 2000s emo and Justin Bieber's inbred cousin.

I've toyed with the idea.

Generally sport a long stubble/short beard, with a short hair cut. Easy to manage at home, but can't help but think I'll annoy the other half if I get a tache.

12 weeker here, so middle of june before i can return to work.....

Sadly whilst im isolating ive become a sex pest to MRS400 and a beard is going to have a drastic effect on the amount i seem to be getting at the minute.

So whilst id love to go full yetti, i also need some interaction with MRS400 apart from insults and general abuse as to whose doing what.

Take care PHers

I normally shave every Sunday and Wednesday evening but haven't since a week Wednesday ago but it is getting a bit scruffy looking now. Not sure whether I'll keep it going or not - luckily we have a strict video off policy for work comms biggrin

Mine will be more Back to the Future Doc Brown style! Hopefully won't be locked down long enough for it to become a pony tail ( or taily pony as our daughter called it when she was 2)

I too already have a beard. it'll be a lot longer once this is over, although I do have a set of trimmers I'm not actually that good with them
