Used to get a haircut twice a year. 10 bucks a pop. Then I got married & the (THEN) wifey liked it shorter so I went every six weeks, but the price went to 12 bucks a pop. Decided to grow the chin hair towards the end of the marriage. Too many bald spots for a full beard. She really hated that chin hair. Divorced the biotch & met a woman whose Dad (D-Day, Ardennes Forest WWII) wore his REALLY short. She used to cut it for him. So I figgered WTF, a hair clipper at Sam's Club was about 20 bucks so I snagged one. Had her shave my dome every three weeks or so, PLUS she liked the goatee...One day I felt the need for a trim & she wasn't around, so I did it myself. That was probably 10 years ago. Occasionally I'll grab the razor & shave it smooth, but I gotta do that every three days or I can't put a shirt on. Razor stubble up top acts like freekin VELCRO & grabs the collars. Now I've got the chin hair, but the dome grows all year & in March I raise funds for St. Baldrick's Foundation for Kids with Cancer, & get it all shaved off in a big ceremony...Like the other guys said, I don't give two SH*TS about the looks or what others think of me. None of my business anyway.

I've had a shaved head and goatee since '97, when I stated reffing wrestling.

I've had a goat for over 25 years. In style, out of style whatever. I am what I am. Definitely not a slave to style or fashion.

I shaved my head 11 years ago due to thinning hair and male pattern baldness. I shave every 2-3 days and I like my dome tan.

You know, I may have started the rage for bald dudes, a goatee and a beer belly.

I don't follow trends, I set the trends!

Great question. I'm headed that way due to hair loss and I like the look of the goatee which I've had for 14 years. Less shaving to do too!

LMAO, that is bad. Been lucky when I was on the Dept. Never had that issue. Been shaving my head since '97 when my hair dresser said I'm thinning. I blamed the wife since I had hair before I got married. Goatee about 6 years ago after I quit the fire dept. Winter time, full beard, or what I can grow anyways.

Embrace the baldness. I have had a beard since 75? Kids wouldnt know me otherwise.
Hair went away.
No biggie.

Forgot to mention that my wife cuts my hair for me. So we have Co-Ed naked hair cutting days

I cropped (#1 blade) because my hair was getting finer as I got older and just blew all over the place. I couldn't be bothered with it, so off went the style I'd had for 30 years. I had a beard that I grew as a joke after I left the Regular Army and went to work for the Royal Navy. My mother liked it, so I kept it until I had to shave it off when I returned to the Army as a reserve officer. I'm retired from all that now, but the full beard looked stupid with all the gray, so goatee it is!

To summarise then, I'm idle and vain.

they can make you give up pubes for testing, though, right? I heard dyeing ***** up the testing too....
