(clicky)men's beards combat cancer, allergies, acne and aging!

I sure wish I had the genes to grow a full beard, but my Asian genes won't allow it, it just comes in scraggly :oops:

I got sick of getting a rash from shaving, so just let it grow.

Also seems a waste of time to have to shave every day.

Having a full beard in Korea was quite a hit with the kids, so understand what auntblabby is on about.

Beards are also good for making beer.

Facial hair would also protect you from wounds to the vulnerable neck, i.e., claws and also teeth.

In addition to keeping you warmer.

I could not tell from your avatar, but do you have facial hair?

:evil: IMHO though you might look good with a beard, it would likely annoy you and others.

a beard would make me look more manly, at least if it weren't all gray like it is now. damn.

Gray hair in the beard is not equivalent with less manly.

I wasn't saying the gray is less manly, only that I didn't wanna look like an old gray hairyfaced man. not to belittle anybody out there with a gray beard, I am sure you all look FABULOUS :wtg: just that I would not look as good as you all.
