Objective measure for a coarse beard?

Is there an objective measure for beard coarse-ness? Or is it like Justice Potter Stewart's definition of pornography: I'll now it when I see it.


Thanks,
Adrian.

I came to the realization that I wouldn't know if my beard was tough or coarse compared to others unless I was a barber shaving different people every day. :shrug: A barber such as member Gary Haywood might be able to tell how much difference he finds from one customer to another.

Give it a days growth then kiss your other half.

If she goes "Ow" then you have a tough beard..!

Oh man, I have a really tough beard then. My wife refuses to kiss me if I have a day or so of growth.

Has anyone actually measured the thickness of their beard hair? I might give it a go on the weekend after it's grown long enough to get hold of with some small pliers.

I read somewhere that the hair is comparative to copper wire of the same thickness.

OK, I measured it, my calipers say 0.08 mm, so 80 microns I guess.
