I found it absolutely vital to impress on both my daughters that grabbing a handful of daddy's beard and attempting to swing from it was liable to cause
daddy a certain degree of discomfort.

Dirk has decided he likes his beard (blech) and for Xmas we got him a trimmer of some sort that he just loves. I forget what kind it was, but I'll tell him
to post it.

Only advice I'd give is when your going to cut it off again make sure you trim it as short as you can befoe switching to razor; or you'll bugger up
about eight blades.

I have a trimmer (can't remember brand - this is about the third one I've had) with an adjustable head that I use about once a week. I try to keep it
neatly trimmed at all times.
I grew mine in 1968, my senior year in high school. I thought it would cause a fuss at school but it didn't. I shave it off in 1973 when I joined the Jehovah's Witnesses, beards are a big no-no for them. Don't ask - the explanation doesn't make any sense. So I grew it back in 1988 when I left them and it's been here ever since.

Disclaimer: I'm not a Jehovah Witness and never have been. However, two of my parents friends were... I think it is something to do with looking businesslike at all times. Why that is the case however I have no clue

Well, within some branches of the Laestadianism movement, it is considered to be against the word of God to have curtains or potted plants in the windows, or
decorative, non-religious pictures on the walls, or (in the case of men) wearing neck-ties. Never got any explanation of that, except that curtains and potted
plants apparently are considered attempts to prevent God from looking into your home. Many are more lenient about it now, though where I live, members of the
Laestadianism community still don't use neckties.
Best regards
Pengolodh The fact that you needed to know was not known at the time that the now known need to know was known, therefore those that needed to advise and inform the Home Secretary perhaps felt the information he needed as to whether to inform the highest authority of the known information was not yet known and therefore there was no authority for the authority to be informed because the need to know was not, at that time, known or needed.<br> Bernard Wooley, "Yes, Minister!" |

Laestadians - they sound like a bundle of laughs.

I just let mine grow wild and have my barber cut it when I get my hair cut. Mine appears to have a natural cutting length, apparently defined by a kink in the
hair that the barber can feel when cutting. No matter what I tell the barber, or who cuts it, it always comes out the same. Fortunately, I don't have an
ornate beard; just bushes of hair growing on my face. When mothers start to pick up their kids and cross the street as I approach, I figure it's time to
stick my head under the lawnmower.

I originally grew mine on a Himalayan expedition, shaved it off when I got back to work, then it grew again on some sailing thing and has stayed ever since,
although it is now a rather boring little well trimmed thing than the scary biker look I originally went for.
I have promised a couple of girlies I'll shave it off when my weight drops below 100 kg (220 lb), I'm actually getting close to that, might be time to renegotiate. As to hints and tips - well basically a beard and moustache is an annoyance all round. Shaving is quicker. |
