Since I started straight shaving I shave every third day. So when I shave on Monday, the next time is Thursday. With few exceptions: the occasions I cannot show up unshaved or the weeks off when I do not shave at all. Or the short period in which I tried to shave every second day.
The thing is that when I have a three or more day stubble some female colleagues at the office and some friends make compliments. They think it looks well.
What are your experiences?
Some guys look like George Clooney when they skip a few days. Myself, I look more like Joe Dirt.
I feel like Joe dirt:( cannot stand to be un-shaven
Good if you can pull that off. Some genetic deficiency makes me look like I have the mange.. Aparrently my ancestors were not chick magnets...
It's kinda like the shaved head thing, some guys can pull that off and others not so much. Me, I can't pull off the stubble beard much anymore. My beard isn't patchy or anything but alas most of it has turned...uh...blonde and so I look like a really old homeless guy after a couple days of not shaving.
@Wintchase: Fortunately for both of us (and our children) even ugly people feel the need to breed :)
I have been told many times I look better with facial hair than clean shaven. Maybe it suits your face better with a little stubble.
If chicks dig it, rock the stubble bro!
I have a baby face so I can't pull it off.
I've had more luck shaving the back of my head and walking backwards.
The key here is "some". Some people have taste like my you know what. What do the majority of folks say?
I say check the ring finger... I don't know if you're married or not, but if there's a ring there; then "thanks for the compliments"...I keep shaving, if no ring...well I may take it a little more to heart lol! Don't ban me for this...I'm a nice guy, REALLY I AM!
I only care about my wife's opinion, and unfortunately she likes it when I have facial hair or at least some scruff :gaah:. I do get frequent comments from her when I have extended periods of clean-shavenness....
At 45 yrs old my facial hair has turned to white and gray, but my hair on my head is still brown, this makes for a very odd look. My wife says it make me look old(and not in a good way) and in my profession (Barber) I need to look neat, so I shave everyday and have been for many years. tried No Shave November this year, made it 2 days, had to lather up and shave.
Yes. The way I see it is that the beauty contest is over. I just enjoy keeping trimmed in my old age. Every day or two! ;)
I don't care what anyone else might think, I can't stand stubble. I have to shave almost every day. I can get by skipping a day here and there but mostly daily for me. I feel like I look like a bum if I'm unshaven. :hmmm:
If I could grow a gnarly moustache or beard, I'd certainly give it a shot. Unfortunately, my beard is so sparse that the best thing for me to do is keep it clean shaven. Darn, right? Lol. My Dad said that he couldn't grow a worthwhile beard until he was almost 30 and I'm a couple years from that and still couldn't grow a beard to save my life. My fiance prefers a little stubble, so a good shave every 2 or 3 days is the perfect compromise.
That is fashionable with young men these days. For a 50-something like me I'd look like Otis the Drunk or his moonshine supplier. Clooney is getting a little old for that.Quote:
