The beard ha...Lt me be a voice of dissent, Rickey. The beard had to go. Or the full beard, in any case.<BR/><BR/>Judging by the photos, you had a little problem with the moustache. <BR/><BR/>Your naturally thin upper lip makes you look intelligent and sophisticated. Emphasizes mankind's distance from the ape, I guess. But it makes for a very poor canvas on which to grow hair. That bit really had to go. <BR/><BR/>Your hair tends to grow more lush on the underside of the chin, and not so much on the cheek. I have the same problem. And your soul patch is a thin one. Put these two together, and it kinda makes the beard look like a ruffle under your head. <BR/><BR/>I suggest a Shaggy from Scooby-Doo style goatee. It would suit you. Don't do a chin strap. They're prissy. <BR/><BR/>This is not a criticism of your beard, or your manhood. Just some helpful advice from a fellow who's been through the glamour and heartbreak of beardsmanship.The Honourable Husbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05234119524600114890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-44442269081146883032008-07-31T06:00:00.000-04:002008-07-31T06:00:00.000-04:00nice post, I stumbled it.I also posted a link to i...nice post, I stumbled it.<BR/><BR/>I also posted a link to it in my blog carnival.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work, cheersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-34343358449270757042008-07-24T08:37:00.000-04:002008-07-24T08:37:00.000-04:00Why, would the beard follicles interfere with your...Why, would the beard follicles interfere with your instrumentation panel or something?
