After the non story of Jeremy Paxman and his holiday beard, who amongst you all have one?

Have had facial hair for half of my life and am currently bearded. I suppose it will come off one day but not yet.:cool:

I've had a goatee or full beard the last decade or so, and much prefer having it than not; even though its quickly turning grey these days and my son said I look like Noel Edmonds! Mrs WLP hates it when I shave it all off as, like BBassic above, I look like I'm about 12....so its definitely staying.

I tried once, looked a scraggy mess. I can cultivate a rather convincing "Barry McGuigan Proof of Age Moustache" though.

I had a beard for about 4 months at the start of last year (started growing it in the Christmas break) and rather liked it. The Grub requested it's removal though.

The only other time was when I spent 6 weeks in India in 1989 and didn't take a razor with me. It came off as soon as I was back in blighty that time, though it was a bit naff anyway and hardly shows up in any photos!

Beards are OK on tramps, hostages and people in mental hospitals who can't shave because of their straitjackets.

Moustaches are just ridiculous, especially those gay Freddy Mercury ones, which for some strange reason are favoured by a much bigger proportion of policemen than the general population.

What kind of man prats about in front of a mirror perfecting the shape of his moustache when he could be still in bed or downstairs having his breakfast?

What kind of man wastes time and money every morning shaving when he could still be in bed or downstairs having his breakfast?

I haven't shaved for six years, and will not shave again. It never gets too 'full' though, beard trimmers rule.

Not at all chap. Until around a year ago I was a once every other day shaver, I now trim my beard for 10 minutes once a month. Time saved = 2.5 hours a month.

Grew a goatee about 8 years ago for fancy dress (Max from Max & Paddy), for a cricket tour. When I returned missus said "actually I quite like it" and I have had it ever since.

Shaved off the beard bit a few years back for comic relief so I would have a large handlebar tache, but that is about it.

I would feel naked without it.
