Thread: Hair eludes me

It has taken me nearly 20 years to grow an real mustache. No lie. I started when I was 16 and I cannot recall shaving it just trimming it. It finally has color and now I am 33. To say I grow hair slow is an understatement.

I was shave testing on my legs 3 weeks later I have stubble growing.

Knowing this I have made the decision to stop shaving every day. I thoroughly enjoy the experience but unless I wan to shave with a 4/8 for the rest of my life and not enjoy any of my other toys. This is how it has to be.

Anyone else in the same boat, or am I just a hair challenged freak?

I am at the opposite end of the spectrum. I grow hair in places I did not know was possible. If I do not keep up with it, my eyebrows will connect to my hairline. I am not talking about length, I am talking about thick hair growing on parts of my forehead. I found my barber trimming my ears the other day, too.

I'm with you crazycliff! The only place my hair no longer grows is on the top of my head but it's like I've been doused with miracle grow almost everywhere else! I really would not be surprised if I started growing hair internally.

I have inheireted some genes from my mom's side of the family and my hairline is starting to recede as well. I've already gained an inch of forehead. Mine has started to grow internally. I pulled out a nose hair that was driving me nuts the other day and it was at least 3/4 of an inch. Thickest hair I have ever seen, too.

I'm not quite as bad as the above comments...but if I need to look clean shaven I can't skip a day. Even after I get a really close shave now, I find I have a definite shadow on my face, and a real scruffy look the next day. I too am even finding myself plucking out some nosehairs because they've gotten too long! I'm almost 24 now, and my beard has gotten substancially thicker in the past couple of years. It's not terribly thick, but I wonder what it'll be like in a couple of years. If it's anything like my Dad and brother, then I have to watch out, they get 5 o'clock shadow at 8 am!
