This is me, except replace the second photo with Robin Williams in Jumanji after he comes out of the game.

I'm not gonna lie... I was tempted to replace Obi-Wan with Riker

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

That's also true. Also, Leonidas from 300 was the reason I grew it out, but it's all curly and hoboish.

[–] CptOblivius@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I got Rikers beard and Picards hair line.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

Honestly that's kinda hot

[–] DBT@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You could achieve the one in the left with some grooming then, yea?

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nah, the hairs don't cooperate. If I cut away all the curly strands that stick out, I have no beard.

[–] fascicle@leminal.space 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The trick is to cut just enough so it looks like pubes

[–] Goodeye8@piefed.social 7 points 2 months ago

If I wanted a ballsack on my face I'd go to grindr.

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

You can work with that. I got a shitty lower heavy beard that doesn't connect my mustache correctly.

On the sides of my lips it just won't grow. You can hopefully trim yours down to get dapper.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 months ago

My moustache only grows on the sides of my lips lmao

I have pretty much exactly McGregor's beard in this pic. I never realized it could be the object of beardly ambitions, and I never seriously considered the distress of a man who isn't able to have the beard he wants. Thanks for the new point of view...

[–] Nfamwap@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I'm in my mid forties, I have the beard growing ability of a 13 year old girl. I would fucking love to be able to grow a thick, bushy beard. But alas.

Guess my massive wang makes up for it.

[–] Sadbutdru@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If it helps, I can't stop growing a thick bushy beard, but it gets itchy, and the individual hairs are so coarse it's like steel wool. Rasps the skin off my lips if I'm a day late in trimming.

And now in my early 40s it's growing out my nose and ears too (and I can see the first signs of those crazy eyebrow beards old men get). Sometimes a loose nose hair gets up between by nose and my throat, and it's like flossing your sinuses with a cheese wire.

[–] Devjavu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

I got the best of both worlds. Incredibly thick hair, but just sparse, with cheeks largely uncovered and full beard at neck. I use real razor blades, because they're the onyl thing that cuts without nicking me, but they still tug like shit because they're so thick.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

wow. so it's long enough to pass for a beard

[–] Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The hard part is stapling your scrotum to your chin.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Let's trade. I resigned myself to my beard (shaving irritates my skin so much that I stopped bothering), but I never really wanted it. Though I'm not sure if I'll like my face beardless after so many years ... I got quite a bit older and fatter.

Keep the wang, tho.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 11 points 2 months ago

I couldn't grow a beard until my mid thirties. Don't be discouraged if you're younger and don't have full growth yet.

[–] birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 months ago

On the flip side, now it's easier to be a twink :3

My facial hair doesn't connect at each side of my mouth, so I literally have a beard and moustache as opposed to just a "beard". It sucks

[–] kayzeekayzee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Sorry but using Pedro Pascal as the "bad facial hair" example?? Are you nuts???

[–] FoxyGrandpa@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (7 children)

Actually you can use minoxidil on the face and get more beard hair, beards aren't effected by amgrogenic alopecia so it stays when you stop applying minoxidil

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE

Now I've just gotta find where I can fucking get it and how much it is.

[–] omgboom@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Just buy generic on Amazon or whatever. It does take a good amount of time before you see results. I've been doing it for a year and have considerably more facial hair now than before, but it was 3-6 months before I saw any difference

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Well here's hoping generic is available here in Canada on something not Amazon. I live on an Island so things are a bit of a bitch getting delivered. Thank you though <3

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So it took the time for you to actually grow hair before seeing it?

[–] omgboom@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It works by increasing blood flow to the area that you apply the medicine to. As the blood flow increases it slowly starts to stimulate hair growth in previously dormant hair follicles, but it's a slow process. At about 3 months I started to notice new small fine new hairs coming in. At 6 months those small hairs had grown into longer, larger hairs, and at the same time new small fine hairs were forming underneath them. At a year, most of the patches that had no hair in them before now have a pretty decent amount of hair and you can't really tell they used to be completely bare. It's a long process

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I tried it for several months, but I saw no change.

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 3 points 2 months ago

Is there something that does the reverse? I'm not personally a fan of the look and feel of facial hair (for myself that is), and I find it annoying having to shave all the time only for the hair to come right back before too long.

[–] mybuttnolie@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

the stuff that prevents hair loss? seriously?

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

THANK YOU! I'm slowly getting a widow's peak and desperately want the full Riker beard before I lose my hairline. I'll see if can get some of that stuff!

[–] birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't finasteride also work? Or is that more for the hairline?

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Finasteride only really effects hair on the scalp, since beard hairs aren't effected by the chemical that finasteride protects against.

Everyone on my dad’s side has nice thick full heads of hair. My grandfather on my mom’s side was bald. Guess how I ended up….

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

With a hairy ass?

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 3 points 2 months ago

My dad is bald at the back, my maternal grandfather was bald at the front. As a result I'm what's called bald as fuck. Thick beard though.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I knew we needed to look at hair.

Mother's-father is always the indicator. (Morfar?)

Beards? My hair starts at the top of my head and ends at my toe knuckles. My beard hair goes up to my cheek bones, down to the underside of my jaw and entirely down my neck to connect to my chest hair. I have to regularly shave my neck, shape and trim my beard.

I mean, I like my facial hair just fine, I just wish I didn't have random solid white patches where my body decided to quit due to stress on me.

I'd really rather shoot myself than deal with grooming my face in general but I'd rather limit the parts I have to shave if I must.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

That is the sexiest thing I've ever heard

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

My beard is even fuller than the one on the left. No bald patches around the soul patch and no thinning on the cheeks or sideburns. You better believe I've rocked that shit every day since I was 20. It's one of the few things I don't take for granted.

When I initially grew it, I was a supervisor at a supermarket. After the beard, it was shocking how often people would accept my verdict on returns and such compared to before.

Men with any amount of facial hair is sexy.

I like men. I like hair.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Huh.

Well of course I know that beard on the left!

It's on me!


Same length and growth pattern, was actually going to trim it a bit this weekend, but uh, despite my head hair being basically the same as Ewan's (color, waviness), my main jaw line and sideburns are jet black like Pedro, as are my eyebrows... but my moustache is about the same color as Ewan's.

... So clearly what that means is I as attractive as both of them combined =p hahaha! /s

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I don't have a connector in the middle.

It just gets whispy and scraggly. It does not grow in.

Soft boi lyf. 🫡

[–] Paddzr@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I have been rocking Obi-wan beard for the past 20 years, my wife probably wouldn't recognise me without it. Mine is just darker brown.

Yes, it's great. I just got to occasionally trim it but I can go for months without touching it and it just.. Works. Till the moustache gets too much in my mouth.
