I was producing the late news at a station in Nashville and they moved me to the 6 pm news against my will. The thought of springing out of bed and putting a razor blade to my throat didn't thrill me, so I quit shaving. <br /><br />Sadly, it was the most interesting thing that happened to me in 1978.Mike Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278807234342796553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734266766203380275.post-81504942870384853042010-09-29T13:46:22.757+01:002010-09-29T13:46:22.757+01:00TPS: Steering clear of the moustache: a wise, wise...TPS: Steering clear of the moustache: a wise, wise choice, my friend.<br /><br />TP: Thanks for that imagery there, TP.

Facial hair that looks like an attempt a kid would make during puberty ain't sexy neither.<br /><br />PJB: I'm with you there, PJB. It's a hot look. And I'm willing to be proven wrong - if your Pa can pull it off, then he and Tom Selleck are in a whole little category all of their own.<br /><br />Mike: 1978? That's very specific.

I can't imagine being without one.<br /><br />But I'm also against the shaggy.

My experience is that like yourself, most women prefer stubble to full-on beards but although I prefer mine more stubbly, she likes it longer and, as you say, going ginger (although I think one reason might be that stubble can make some, ahem, activities less pleasant than they would otherwise be).The Pedantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734266766203380275.post-2540430620822161782010-09-29T09:15:32.268+01:002010-09-29T09:15:32.268+01:00My acid test as to the length of a beard is that o...My acid test as to the length of a beard is that once it starts to itch constantly it is too long.<br /><br />I remember having goatee beard in my formative years.
