Until recently beards were semi-extinct.
They belonged to elderly Cornish fishermen, Father Christmas, a specific variety of gay man, the odd wrestler, left wing politicians with a Karl Marx vibe, geography teachers and the sort of type who likes to 'quaff ale in taverns' and that was about it.
Now you can't walk down the street without bumping in to some 'playful' guy who has decided to experiment with facial hair.
My brother turned up at xmas with an absolute MINGE of a beard.
Personally I'm against beards, mostly for reasons of food hygiene.
Anyone given one a go? Reckon you will have to be quick I can't see this trend sticking around for too long.

they're a passing fad...
I reckon people will eventually come to their senses when they see photos of themselves and realise they look like Morris Dancers..,.

Isn't a beard the same thing as a lavender bride? |

I'm 40 years old and at the rate my facial hair grows I would not have enough time left to grow one even if I were to be receiving a birthday card from Her Madge in 2073!!!

I've never been able to grow one, but I hear that Bish has been spotted down his local looking something akin to WG Grace, no less.  |

I got out of the habit of shaving when I got out of the army.I grew my hair long,grew a beard and joined a band.A bit like those Vietnam vets.
I can grow a decent beard by the way.

Had a beard for 2 years now, never had one before. Give it a trim once a week to keep it tidy and short, it goes all bushy if leave over a week. In fact recently people were asking if I had converted to islam! Don't think I'll use razors ever again, possible go to lowest setting on beard trimmer which would leave a shadow but no way going back to baby face.

My current 'barbe' started life as a soup strainer for Mo'vember.
I've emerged from the Festivities looking part tramp part terrorist.
I've decided to let it go free range until we next lose, then do something funky with it:
A Custer/Muskateer vibe or a dandy Hitler Austrian 11 a side.
Hamish sport disconcerting beards.
I've never seen an Abe Lincoln beard look good.

Honestly, i'm a sideburns man myself. And YES, Beards DO remind me of 'Real' Ale Drinkers, Morris Dancers, Left wing politicians and pseudo-intellectuals.
