Beard Appreciation Thread

Anyway, back to the real topic.

Some new entrants to the hall of raw, ungroomed fame.

Johnny Depp, ironically enough this particular beard is a metaphor for his career, plummeting down

Lastly, the lesser known member of the cricketing beard club, Anton Devcich/Dan Bilzerian (just me or are they identical)

This is just for casual fun, I've committed to one but her parents (mostly her father) are relenting - doesn't want his Pathan daughter marrying a Punjabi.

Well, let me tell you that its not shocking. Pathans are very tribal and they prefer to marry their own race. Feel bad for you man. Must be absolutely gutted.
 
This is the only post in the last page thats even remotely close to being on topic, everything else is off topic and really random

Sorry, but there's always a point where a thread gets too boring to stay on topic.

Did hurt, but you can only control what you have or what is within your conscience and as long as you have tried your best then you shouldn't feel bad irrespective of the outcome.

Yeah, i believe the same and haroon it will pass eventually. It will take time but it will pass. Personal experience.
 
I think beards are either a young adult (18-21) or a middle aged (40+) thing.
 
Random but I only recently (couple years) discovered that people with beards and stubble spend an insane amount of time maintaining it. I used to think that its primarily laziness because of which some people end up letting it grow if its not for religious purposes. And the few times Ive been lazy or just been free and out of my own laziness didn't shave, I used to wonder why the heck is my stubble/beard so scruffy and unkempt after a 5-6 days whereas others have it so even and perfect.

Little did I know that people spend a huge amount of time to get a good look and I certainly don't think its worth the time.

A friend of mine keeps facial hair in order to not look feminine and/or 12 years old but apart from that I do not see any good reason to keep a beard.
 
That Pak soldier looks like a bearded Akuma (Street Fighter) :

Another cool Pak beard, some Islamist protester :

Beards are meant to be maintained using a comb etc

Moistened and braided might be taking a step too far

Yeah they're nor worth keeping if you're not willing to maintain them.

lot of people apparently use all sort of gadgets and whatnot to trim with exact specs etc
 
Interesting to note that none of the current Pakistan team in any format (If I'm correct) have beards.

Forget that I don't think even one ruler of Pakistan has had a beard. Ever! Really shocking.

Rafiq Tarar was one but he had no power as a lame duck president who was made to resign

I can't remember a Saudi or even Arab president or Turkish pm with a beard barring Morsi

Salman does have a goatee

Didn't get you?

If you're talking about Tarar then from what I know he was same as Mamnoon Hussain today. Even less powerful which really says something

He too wasn't much to talk about, but Muhammad Mian Soomro, who served as PM/President for few months after Mushy, had that cool Sindhi style (which puts more efforts on the stache than the beard) :

That's a very "aristocratic" look and seems to be more and more popular, even amongst stars :

Should've clarified - given that beards aren't a thing at the top of Pakistani society, it seems like that they are more of a working class/uneducated thing.
 
Pakistani politicians and wannabe politicians( read every other uncle) have a weird love for the mustache, looks hideous to be honest.
 
So the Beard World Cup came to an end recently. Here's a list of the worthy, the joyous, the manliest of men in the manliest of sports.

WARNING: Pressing the spoiler warning may unleash so much bearded greatness there is a high chance your laptop will sprout stubble and overheat due to the beard heat. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

None of us are worthy.
 
Shaved my beard the other day. Never again..

Only by talking the walk of shame ala Cersei can you be forgiven for this heinous unspeakable act.

Shame! Shame! Shame!

*ding ding*

Wish I could edit the OP like a year ago, I could add a list of shame for dissenters/shavers.

Nothing more ''aristocratic'' than a marasi suit with mirrors (?) in place of the collar.
 
don't like Long ones, that's a sign of a hippy

don't like clean shaves, can't tell if its a women or a girl

This is what Beard should be like, MANLY!!

I have grown beard and kept mustache, I used to wax and curl my mustache.

One girl (teenager) admitted to her friend that she had a huge crush on me, I was clean shaven and had boyish look. Her feelings kinda sort of vanished after she saw me with facial hair. I look completely different with facial hair, I even had hair dyed with clean shaven look. You can imagine the transition.

On the other hand, girls my age often comment that I look better with beard.

It led me to reach the conclusion that stick to clean shaven look if you want to woo very young girls. Girls in late 20s prefer rugged manly looks.

Also if your facial features are good then eyes really pop out with clean shaven look.

Personally I prefer full beard, I hate trimming or shaving. Also twirling mustache gives immense pleasure.
 
Just came across this Italian athlete who has kept a half beard for a few years now lol.

Also, any darts fans will recognise the chap below who returned to tv darts this month. Sadly no 6 pack though.

And there is this (horrible imo) recent look from Lalit Modi. Looks like a tramp.

Lol

How does one cut beard! Horrible.
 
How do you get the Pakistani trend which is to make the cheek line low and have the sideburns straight down to the ear?
 
Misbah's lumberjack beard during the 2016 tour of England is the best beard any cricketer has ever had imo.
 
I'm never good at keeping facial hair. I know people say men look better with nice beards but I can't be bothered to groom it etc so I shave like every week lol. Look very baby faced when I'm clean shaven but oh well.
 
Been a long time but upon reflecting on one of my favourite ever films I encountered a particularly fine specimen, a truly special one in fact, so special it is deemed worthy of addition three years after I created this thread.

kurt-russell-the-thing_universal.jpg


Just look at that absolute piece of art, the unbridled beauty. No homo or anything but goddamn Kurt Russell with that beard........

Sensational
 
For the record any attempts at playing down that beard and by extension Kurt Russell will be met with a permanent ban. I'm not even a mod I dont even possess banning ability, but my admiration for that grizzly chin will find a way to hack the internet itself and condemn you and your IP addresses, even proxy ones, to the virtual depths of oblivion
 
Not sure what I was thinking with my posts previously here, it's a complete mess but I still found it hilarious to read back on. Definitely matured (slightly) more since then.

Not sure about this one but Jedinak seems like one of those Aussies you really don't want to mess with.

Beards have significantly damaged my country - but yes, I'm a big believer in the beard.
 
So whomst of the old guard is still around thesedays?
 
I am thinking about shaving my full beard and rocking the hero abhinandan style mustache. I admit I might not have the guts to go out in public with that look but just for one evening as a transition and few selfies before I shave everything off.

Side effect: no more beard for a few days.

Kumail Nanjiani looks a lot better with a beard. Pakistanis got like the best beard genetics.

Yooo, what's good gents. Enjoying the WC? Please tell me you were both there in Birmingham for the madness.

much like cricket life goes on hopefully. had a freekin meeting i couldnt miss, actually had tenuous plans to go, but alas....

hows life
 
Yooo, what's good gents. Enjoying the WC? Please tell me you were both there in Birmingham for the madness.

Only in spirit: it’s hard to be in Birmingham physically when one resides in Colorado. That said, hope springs eternal, tempered by the fear that they might win it. The horror.

What’s the latest on the supernatural front? Bump that thread for old times sakes!
 
I have an impressive beard and tash at the moment :) No better feeling! Dont even mind shaving my hair completely off with this facial goodness!
