no offence to growing beards for fun but i'd feel much happier if we were doing it as part of Movember instead of just for fun
...if anyone wants to get a team running i'm not sure how well it would work online

I would probably do this but I have recently required a man-thing and I have not had a proper man-thing in over a year so I am currently in that,"Hell yes I will be sexy". Wild hair legs are pretty sexy but not stubble.

Sorry guys, Why couldn't this be in the middle of the winter last year?

Conditioner. Dudes need to take better care of their facial hairs. My boyfriend's current/past facial hairs have never bothered me. They are so soft!

Frankly my headhair doesnt even get that much attention, why would my face hair?

Bastardous Bassist · « **Reply #62 on:** 21 Oct 2009, 19:21 »

Because you touch ladies a lot more with your face hair.

Well, I assume that you touch ladies a lot more with your face hair.

0bsessions · « **Reply #63 on:** 21 Oct 2009, 19:22 »

I actually do condition my facial hair once it's at a certain point, still gets pretty abrasive, even on my own lip.

You seem to be making a lot of assumptions about people that spend a good amount of time online.

Bastardous Bassist · « **Reply #65 on:** 21 Oct 2009, 19:56 »

The assumption I am making is that they touch ladies more with their face hair than with their head hair, not that they touch ladies a lot. I touch ladies with neither these days, but that's more a function of how little time I have to actually try.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #66 on:** 21 Oct 2009, 20:06 »

I guess I have just been lucky to only make out with beardy dudes who have soft and pleasant beards? Sure it does chafe a little, but nothing unpleasant.

Actually now that I think about it, the last time I kissed a non-beardy dude was much more unpleasant because his face was really prickly. That hurt.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #67 on:** 21 Oct 2009, 20:08 »

My girlfriend likes my facial hair, she runs her fingers through it all the time. Then again I regularly shampoo it and sometimes even condition it.

If he were actually non-beardy, it would have just been smooth and (hopefully) soft. The middle ground of stubble surely is the bane of existence as far as tactile sensation goes, but it does look good (better than an actual beard, in my opinion).

I'm considering growing a beard this winter, but not for November, I think. I'm going to continue to try to look "respectable" for the time being.

Jeeze, Jon, let Rachel have some fun with us girls. It's just leg hair.

And seeing as how I shaved my legs today, I will not really have much to show for a before shave picture, but I will definitely do a post shaved picture, possibly some pics throughout the month, and then a final one. It's on, ladies, it's on.

Drill King · « **Reply #71 on:** 21 Oct 2009, 20:30 »

I know lots of guys that shampoo and condition their beards and it's still chafy as fuck. don't get me wrong, I love beards, but lots of dudes just have coarse hair.

But it wasn't stubble! He looked completely non-hairy!
In any case I will stick with my lovely beardy dude.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #74 on:** 21 Oct 2009, 20:54 »

Is it possible he just had very very light-colored stubble? If he really wasn't beardy at all, he should have been smooth.

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #75 on:** 21 Oct 2009, 21:14 »

I've never ever kissed a dude who was COMPLETELY smooth unless I snagged him immediately right after he shaved in the morning. My worst beardy kissing experience was when the boy I was with stopped trimming his mustache and it kept going up my nose. It was funny, but a huge moment ruiner.

Guys, your face hair might be a different texture than your head hair, but it is still hair. It still needs to be taken care of the same way, which means if you are getting scratchy raspy beard hairs then you are using the wrong kind of conditioner. I know it might boggle your mind, but there are different types, and some of them will work better on your beard than others!

bob, just bob · « **Reply #78 on:** 21 Oct 2009, 23:42 »

it's on like donkey kong motherfuckers, let's do this. on the last day of October we should put up a list of all who are in, so we can see the competition.
also maybe some weekly avatar picture updates? that's just from the top of my head though.
but I think it would be cool to see how everyone's beard grows from week to week. or do we want to keep it a surprise until the last day of novembeard?

David_Dovey · « **Reply #81 on:** 22 Oct 2009, 07:07 »

Not this year because I love shaving too much and also I am not much of a man.

I generally have to set aside more than a month to grow any kind of respectable facial hair, oh the shame of it all!

Definitely next year though when I'm in Canada because, well, you know... lumberjacks.

Ally: I can understand "beard" hate from ladies during the growing process. It takes a lot of patience and commitment in the bearding process, and you and your loved ones have to be prepared to put up with some pretty trashy looks for a while. Sometimes quite a while, depending on the guy.

You misunderstand, Linds. It's most certainly not just leg hair she's threatening to grow out.

In terms of trying different conditioners, it's been done. I've tried about five different kinds of conditioner on my beard and it still stays gruff. Any conditioner seems to reduce/eliminate itchiness for me, but once my beard gets to a certain point (About a month's worth of growth generally), no conditioner seems to stop it from being a bit abrasive. If I was continuing to grow out my hair, I'd try more, but it's hard to justify buying bunches of different conditioners when you shave your head and are unemployed.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #83 on:** 22 Oct 2009, 08:57 »

I condition the shit out of my beard hair. My facial hair naturally grows in a mountain man curly gruff manner so no need to make it also have tons of nasty broken hairs. I would just look like a homeless man if I didn't. Plus both me and the lady have long hair so we tend to have the conditioner to do so.

Bu yes, take care of the goddamn facial hair people.

Edit - Let me make it clear though that outside of the couple of hours immediately after the shower, my beard hairs are not what I would call soft and lovable. Like I said, I got mountain man style facial hair.

calenlass · « **Reply #84 on:** 22 Oct 2009, 10:18 »

Jon 5 conditioners is pithy. 5 is not a real effort. When you get a job, perhaps you could give it another go.

Edit: I have tried probably 20 or so various conditioners for my hair in the past two years and I still have not found a combination that I like (I have to leave on in at the end). It is a slow process, admittedly, but on the bright side, any conditioner you don't like Rachel can use for her own shaving needs since it works more or less as well as shaving cream.

pen · « **Reply #85 on:** 22 Oct 2009, 10:30 »

I don't use shaving cream ever. I have only ever cut myself shaving 3 times and all three times were while using creams/gels. Exfoliate, rinse, shave. Works for me.

calenlass · « **Reply #86 on:** 22 Oct 2009, 10:48 »

See not using stuff is when I get the worst razor burn, so.

Skippin' it. Actually going to be, you know, working for a living again here soon, and when I brought up the possibility my (sort of) girlfriend got this glazed over look that said "I'm not saying anything now, but in two weeks I'll be sleeping with one of your friends out of spite if you do this."

TMI WARNING:
Yeah, I had to promise my boyfriend I'd keep other places clean shaven if I did this.

Does any body know if Movember would be cool with my boyfriend and his coworkers collecting donations in their(Movember's) name for Movembers charities for just straight out not shaving at all for November? I'm trying to get them all to do it, and so far nobody is really interested, but they did St Baldricks for cancer, and shaved their heads. Guys working at cancer researching places are all for doing stuff for cancer. I wonder if I could do a lady version and collect donations for like cervical cancer and breast cancer at my work.

LTK · « **Reply #89 on:** 22 Oct 2009, 12:15 »

Man, I wish I could do this without looking ridiculous. It's weird, you know, because I had a dream the other night where Novembeard happened and I did grow a beard. My imagination became over-optimistic with that beard, and it still looked slightly awkward. Normally, there are no pigmented hairs to be found outside my chin and upper lip region, and possibly minor sideburns.

Oh, and just for the sake of it, a quote by the Dutch winner of 'Best Natural Moustache' of the World Beard Championships:

"A kiss without a 'stache is like an egg without salt."
