In my general overall laziness, I neglected to shave at all last week. I’m going on about 10 days of not shaving. So I decided to see how well a beard would work. So far, so good, except for one minor “structural defect” – I have no hair under my lower lip. There are two quite prominent bald patches seperated by the bit of hair where a soul patch would be. The rest of the beard is fine, if not a bit on the thin side. I’m giving it until Friday. That will be two weeks. After that, if things don’t look better, it’s good bye beard.
I could probably pull this off, if I wanted to look like a hipster doofus

None is better than the one shown. But what do I know about beards. Let us see what you have before shaving.

For sheer amusement of co-workers and/or random people on the street, I have to recommend the “Hugh Jackman as Wolverine” beard.
I sported that for a full work day once, but I got tired of people breaking into laughter as soon as they saw me.

one word – Gillette

How can we mock it if we can’t see it?
I’ve worn variations of a goatee since 2000, as it helps deflect about 500 stitches in my mug.

“about 500 stitches”?
Who the hell are you, Bootsy? Bukowski?? Danny Bonnaduce?

I tried the goatee thing for about a year (after some oral surgery that gave me the excuse to not shave for a couple weeks), which is about how long it took to look decent.
In my minds’ eye, I was going to grow a fabulously thick Fu Manchu. In reality, not so much.

More like Evel Knievel.
