The beard brings eternal youth??? That's pretty sick.

I know that. when you grow your beard for a while and then cut it off...everytime you look into the mirror you are thinking youve cutted your chin off too

Depending on how early you start wearing one, they take youth away and put you in a state of perpetual 40-something-dom.

I am a pale person as is. most people never get that I am puerto rican.

when I shaved off my beard my cheeks and jaw and chin were SOO white, they looked grey. My mom said I had "cara de pedo"
which means fart-face, or skin the color of a fart.

I wear my beard fairly short, but damn, what a difference some color makes!

here's me and my lady so you can see

you both look really sympathic

Pai Mei! Both those movies were on TV a few weeks ago. Awesome kick-back movies.

its more like they come from an inner-state of perpetual forty-somethingdom. beards are eternal, I dont understand why men have to shave in western culture? women have become far to affraid of hair.

these dudes know exactly what I am talking about..

Those guys all have sculpted facial hair requiring extensive, deliberate razor use.

yes but that is besides the point, what they do have is what would be considered today excessive facial hair. I think that in the days when crazy fucking mustaches were in, a regular beard would be the norm, and if you look at most civil war era photos, that is exactly the case. the beard is natural, it should be let to grow.

Lev 19:27 "You shall not shave around the sides of your head, nor shall you disfigure the edges of your beard."

Well, then the past few years of hipsterdom should suit your tastes fine, what with the whole place being overrun by noisenik gnomes with beards down to their belts.

Personally, I'm not into it. Looks cool on really old wizard guys though. Beards still beat moustaches any day of the week, but they all say Itchy to me.

they are only itchy for a few days after that, its not itching anymore. that was the first reason Ive become lazy cutting it, because I hate that itching

What is Pogonophobia?

Defined as "a persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted fear of beards", each year this surprisingly common phobia causes countless people needless distress.


they dont itch very much, but when they get past your neck in length, you tend to wake up with a mouth and nose full of beard, that is until they start to dread up. I regret cutting my dreaded beard everyday, but the world just couldn't handle the combination of white dude plus dreads plus dreaded beard, something had to give... alas alas





this is my brethren Wadi Gad's dread beard:
