It's coming off in a couple of weeks.....not good for diving.

Warmth in winter, shade in summer.

LOL I did shave it off once - before I got married it was a classic situation - she had to pick me up at the railway station, I didn’t tell her I shaved it off and had a haircut in Sydney(I had it when she dropped me off to go to a training course in Sydney). She drove past 2 times – the third she got out and looked around for me – I yelled out and she ignored me to start with – then she just stared in shock after that. LOL

no way your face gets to itchy and to hot keep it shaved to match my bald head

Only grew one once. Full set too. Then I had to go have an ID pic taken , one of those old sepia type ones.. Took one look and thought OMG !. All I needed was a turban and I would have got into any Sikh temple anywhere.
Mrs persuaded me to shave it off soon after.

Hormone therapy can help. But, hey, I'd prefer you didn't.

Filthy things. I've seen (with a microscope) what lives inside the fungus and its not a pretty sight.

My partner is chinese and I'm only allowed near after a VERY close shave.
There's also an adage "Beware of men bearing beards, they're hiding something".

No I've never grown one just a bit of stubble at times, when I get lazy with the razor. (actually lazy quite a lot.) helps save a bit of money.

Well it's not a beard, but pretty close I reckon.

Yeah. I've had one for about 35 years. Back then anyone who rode bikes just seemed to have one,
I also found that if I shaved more than a couple of times that I broke out into a rash so I gave razors the big flick.
I've always had a fair mop of hair on my skull too but about 20 years ago when I was working in a plastic extrusion factory I decided to shave my skull due to the heat but I kept my Ned Kelly beard. Made showering a breeze, didn't need a comb or brush and it felt great. Used to put Vaseline on my head to make it shine, no crap.
I was as happy as a pig in the proverbial but I began to notice that children in the street would look at me uneasy and back away. Looking in the mirror one night I began to realise why, (God, I was a mean looking ugly mother) so the hair came back. I also got sick of neo-nazi skinheads trying to treat me like a "brother." Now I'm just an ugly mother.

Nothing like ancient threads revitalised.
I also have a beard. Easier than shaving every day. It was my wifes suggestion to grow it in the first place many years ago. I've shaved it off once but my daughter didn't recognise me so I regrew it.
I also work in "Beardy St" now so I'm afraid it will have to stay.
