Spartans were famously scrupulous about full body waxes and shaved chins...
How the fuck did I know that -

I looked like a mentally ill tramp when I grew one. Great big grey patches on either side of my chin that, from a distance, looked like holes in the beard. Got a picture of me and my teenage nephew when I had a beard and frankly it's like something off Crimewatch. Never again.

One of John Peel's most familiar stories was of when he shaved his beard and the face staring back at him was a "cross between my mother and Mussolini".

That did have something to do with the reasoning behind it. That I was curious to see what my face looks like. At least I got that out my system. Bird or beard? BEARD!
And I was referencing the 300 filum, so apologies for the historical inaccuracies. I shall be riding the bike in nowt but a loin cloth too

Grey not yet a problem, ginger is. Hair is a very dark brown, eyes hazel, but a distinct coppery hue to the beard. Riddle me that one batman
Anyway, just get yourself some

Following your recent, 'famous people who have told me off' list; I give you: 'Posthumously near-canonised lazy DJs who were in fact well pervy and tried to fuck my 19-year-old girlfriend when I was in my first year at Uni.'
1) John Peel.Actually, fair play to him, at least he hadn't given up on life...
EDIT: He has now... ;-D

Seriously I know what its like to have a car crash, have reconstructive surgery and wake up to look at a face you don't recognise
Actually I have no idea whatsoever what that's like, but it just doesn't look like my face
as for the girl, she simply never replied. I did call her and no answer so number has been deleted. Only knew her five minutes and fell pretty hard. Still lessons learnt and all that

My brother shaved his beard after a boozy lunch (we made him, family pressure and all). My sister in law had only known him with a beard, she hid her tears afterwards. My niece just stared at him, she kept repeating "I've got a new dad"....
The beard grew back. -

beard are great, the only problem is that there's some people who can't grow a beard properly (tuff of hair in sporadic place around the bottom part of your face so to speak.
I shaved my beard off recently after having them since I was 17, needless to says I look like I'm 15 after I lobbed it off (I'm 23), and not surprisingly enough people seemed to respect me less.
and God it was so cold! I've missed the warmt of my beard!

Beards are for lazy people who can't be bothered to shave.
I'm mighty lazy with a razor 6 wet shaves in 10 years.

Grey not yet a problem, ginger is.
Not a problem in my book.
Been sporting a ginger beard for a good 8 years or so. But then my collars and cuffs match. -

I'm of the ginger beard persuasion as well. Dirty blonde on top (what's left) though.
And, obviously, beards are awesome.

Beards = right on.
Beard every fucking time. I recently made the mistake of shaving mine off after maybe 5 years and barely recognise the face looking back at me in the mirror. The beard is coming straight back, and this time it's going to be a great big bush. I'm gonna grow a beard fit for a Spartan and push people down dirty great holes. It's gonna look like the Amazon has been uprooted and landed on my face
Seriously though I honestly feel the process was emasculating and confidence draining. I'm like Samson after the bitch Delilah did the dirty on him.
If you have a beard keep it, if you don't have one, get one
