Hopefully one day I too can look like this, despite it not being a beard.

I had a Hobie-like beard until a few days ago. I didn't shave for a month after my wife left me, and decided to clean up a bit to try and put myself back on the market.

I had a beard for a while but I keep it clean shaved now. Well, I shave like once a week or so anyhow.

Someday... I wish for greatness; I wish for the fu manchu.

For now though, I shave the stubble off every other day or so. I couldn't grow a real beard if my life depended on it.

I've been rocking the goatee since high school. I can't even picture what I would look like without it anymore.

Had either a full beard or goatee for 10 years now.

I shaved it off one summer to show my wife what I looked like without it. Total man-child. Grew it back straight away.

I know your pain. My hair is extremely thick as well. [insert pic later]

I have gone through so many shavers it's ridiculous. I try to keep a tidy beard, thankfully my boss understands. I've had many a bitch about the lack of heavy duty shaving equipment on the market. Seriously. Why has nobody closed this niche yet? I have to use a portable hair clipper on my beard to keep it tidy. I shave me face on a number 0 which is still quite stubbly but as close as I can get without having the razor rip the hair out of my face, which just leads to my face being red and itchy for the rest of the day. Not a good look.

Likewise it takes me a couple of safety razors to shave my face because of clogging. Even when shaving off a number 0 size stubble. It's not worth buying a higher priced razor because I will go through the blades just as fast.

Exactly. Double and triple bladed safety razors are actually worse because they clog faster even right after using a trimmer with no guard. I just went back to cheapo single blade ones for the times I need or want to really shave. Of course having bloody spots on my neck kinda ruins the whole 'looking nice' angle. :?

I shave about once every 2 months, so I get a bit of mini-beard.
