        May I add that I have strong views on beards....The main thing being that if you keep one and create a line at the bottom, it must be at the neck line and never under any circumstances be at the jaw line. The jaw line beard looks especially heinous if you have a jaw any lesser than Henry Cavill. Then again, it's your hairstyle, do whatchalike!
        Unfortunately thanks to genetics, I've found myself forced into the bald-and-bearded category. Luckily my wife loves the beard 😉

          My girlfriend gets bummed when I even talk about losing my mustache, so i think it’s here to stay. I feel like once a significant other gets used to it, they might even end up getting attached, then you’re home free in Stacheland.

            I found that out the hard way once when I used to wear a beard. Sage advice.

              @WhiskeySandwich I Agree here. I tried growing a jawline beard when I was a young buck and ended up looking like Abraham Lincoln, It wasn't a good look but I guess if you are going to try different looks do it whilst you are young and dont have a care in the world.

              @popvulture I joked with my missus about getting rid of the beard once before and the look I got you would have thought I chucked our quails away.

                @JoshC and @EdH , oh I definitely learned this one from experience myself on the early experimentation phase with my facial hair. Now I just let it grow and try to keep it out of my mouth lol

                  @WhiskeySandwich hahaha I know this all too well, I love a good soup on a winter's day but I go full caveman and don't keep the beard and tash in check soup get all in the moustache end up looking like a bird has nested in there.

                  I even went for Chris Cornell with a moustache and a little chin strap safe to say I wasn't much of a lady killer with that haha

                    @JoshC HAHAHAHA that's hilarious and true. Don't get me ranting about how poor a decision it is to eat an ice cream cone.

                    After my short Abraham Lincoln phase, I moved into an Abraham Ford phase for a week or so, with a handlebar moustache but with long chops.

                      I think I would rather be rocking the mutton chops than my version of Chris Cornell's look at this bad boy haha to say the confidence in my look back then was very high haha

                            @JoshC LOL! I would ask if that was a costume party but no one else is dressed up.

                            I cant talk though, I rocked a terrible goatee at one point.

                              Stumbled on this conversation and realised it intersects with another interest. The soup issue is not new and there is an answer:

                                  @Matt I remember asking you what cologne you were wearing on the boat trip on Hamburg? Could you share again, as I've forgotten.. some sort of oil?

                                          @T4920 and I were chatting about the cologne and how we like that oil based scents past longer since they don’t evaporate. The one I am using now is the Timshel and it really goes all day. Great stuff for the price.

                                            @Matt I meant to ask you this in Hamburg: what’s your shaving routine, i.e. double edge razor/knife/whatever, soap/creme, any products you’ve tried either yourself or in the shop that you particularly like?
