Must say during this lockdown the shaving frequency has dropped off.Big savings on razor blades.Hair cuts a major problem.

Yes, I told him I’m very good at pruning shrubs and it can’t be that much different. He looked worried πŸ˜³πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚

Hi Tbae, you should be like me and grow a full beard, I don't have any shaving stuff in my house whatsoever so I am not tempted to shave anything off, the longer this lockdown lasts, the longer my beard gets, when it does finish I may trim the beard down a little from, well from how long it is to 3 inches, interesting that more than a quarter of runner's have a beard in that survey.

Great Alan.

I am waiting for a pair of clippers to be delivered.πŸ™ˆ

Not getting a haircut since late Feb is just awful.Regular shaving diminished also so I need a good kick.

I will not be joining you Alan,I bet yours looks good.This old frame of mine has enough scratchy bits.πŸ™ˆπŸ€£

I was out a bike ride recently and a man shouted at me "that is a epic beard you have" another guy with a beard said that I had "a killer beard" perhaps I'll send in a photo some day, the itchy part of growing a beard is the first two weeks, after that it gets nice and smooth, it all depends on how quick the growth is.

I always have a beard but due to lock down it's getting longer! Ps my daughter cut my hair very well for a first ever cut. She is going to be cutting my hair from now onwards keep the funds in the local economy. She is 17 years old!

Mine’s regrown during lockdown and gone a silvery-grey colour!😳 Used to be ginger in my 20sπŸ˜€ I shave it off every 3-4 days when it starts getting itchy!πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘

I'm sure I won't be alone in only letting my hair grow because that stage between stubble and beard, where not all of the chin is covered, isn't entirely socially acceptable πŸ˜„

Runners don't shave their legs but club cyclists and swimmers do.

I do make a point of smartening it up every week. Ever since I heard some children refer to me as Hagrid. Harrrrumph.

I’ve not got a beard, but it’s becoming patently clear that I’m not a natural blonde! Luckily I saw the hairdresser just before lock down.

Tehnically yes, but no. I shave daily. Beard would clash with my outfits and I have enough difficulties with hair which is overgrowing. Another month and I'll look like Trump, a few more and here's Nick Cave......I am desperate......

My wife suggested it as a fan of martial arts movies. She actually sculpted it on top of my head. I looked like an idiot. (please open the salons soon)

No but my hair is looking increasingly beardy!πŸ˜€

β€œBeard grows on you or you grow a beard. Look at it from your perspective. But a beard is a responsibility. You've got to grow it with care and wear it with pride. I read somewhere that kissing a man without a beard is like drinking champagne without the bubbles. Well, I will leave that to the ladies to confirm. But I will sign off by saying that a beard is true love. This love for your beard never reduces. It only grows more with time.”

I have now have had a beard since March 2015, mixed reactions from my family, my daughter loves it, my sister at first hated it, however, she is beginning to like it as long as as its not longer than one inch, but during this lockdown I have let it get very bushy and is almost six inches long, once the lockdown is over I will trim it down a bit.
