Poll: Do you have, or ever get a neckbeard (read topic first)

[thylasos]

Whether it works or not depends how thick the hair is, and how pudgy your face is.

Thicker the hair, the better, pudgier the face, the worse.

As it is, I don't chance it. My beard's fairly tightly cropped around my chin, neck clean shaven at all times.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

The bottom line tends to waver but I mostly manage to keep it safely under my chin. It's my upper cheeks that really give me trouble, them and the back of my neck.

Man I hope no girls read that.

Only when I don't shave, and then it's not that bad.

I'm 24 and I still can't grow a beard without it being patchy as hell.

Have you tried starting with a goatee? You've got to keep it well trimmed so the rest has time to grow in.

If I grew a goatee, I would have to consider the possibility of killing myself.

I hate the damn things.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Nope, the only facial hair I keep are my frankly fantastic 50's style sideburns. Considering moving to proper mutton-chops. Bitches love mutton-chops.

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

No beard for me. Have to wear a hook on one if I want to be a wizard. It's extremely inconvenient.

 

[Blue Hero]

I have a superior neckmoustache. I'm still jive and down with the hip young kids of today with their neckbeards though, right?

 

[Fleetfiend]

It would be kind of weird if I did (female here) but my boyfriend does when he doesn't shave. I think it's kind of icky. >.>

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

At the moment I have a shoulder beard, an earlobe beard and a butt beard.

Neckbeards are so last season.

Stop copying me Daystar!
I hate goatees but when I attempt to grow a proper beard I always need to shave before it can grow in properly.
At least I have bitching sideburns.

 

[Uncompetative]

Nope. I'm rocking a Riker Beard.

The sexiest of beards.

I've done it in the past, I often just don't feel ambitious enough to shave, but now that I have a job I can't really do it anymore.

 

[James Swinton]

If I don't shave for a few weeks my brother calls me a Wookie(I am one mighty hairy person lol), im cool with that

 

[thespyisdead]

i dunno... never tried... just fine with my mustache for now

 

[Wuvlycuddles]

All I can grow are rockin' sideburns. I could feed a family with my mutton chops if I grew them out.

The rest of my face...well, I have an anti-goatee. My facial hair grows everywhere except around my mouth and chin. It's pretty sorry looking if I get lazy.

I usually just shave every couple of days to keep my face looking semi-rugged without dipping into stupid. I never let it get into neckbeard territory. >.<

I have a similar problem, the hair does not grow well on the cheeks and burns area yet I can grow a majestic goatee..... If we could somehow combine our facial hair we could make one rocking beard!


Anyway, I keep the neckbeard under control.

 

[Ragsnstitches]

I've got a full beard, but I shave my neck, cause it looks ridiculous, and my lower cheeks (no, not that low) as it only comes out in measly tufts. Otherwise I've got a proper thick and bushy beard going from ear to ear with a tash that I can swirl the tips on for a dastardly look.

 

[StriderShinryu]

If I don't shave for long enough, I do start to develop one.. but I can't stand it and shave it. Even if I leave the rest of my facial hair alone, I can't stand having that hair on my neck.

to be fair, that's prolly same avatar "neckbeard pic guy i cant remember the name of" would use

 

[Exerzet]

WITHOUT, shaving for like a week after having a neckbeard. Do you just let your neckbeard stay and not bother with it?

I recently lost my job and have stopped shaving, I have a full beard now and I don't intend to shave until I get another job. I also feel like a shut in

So do you have a neckbeard?

I'm currently a student, so I've caught myself not shaving as often as I normally would (Not at all if the GF's out of town), and I've found that the "neckbeard" is an itchy nuisance. Not only that, but it also reduces the chances of getting any of the "normal" jobs, as bosses tend to see a neckbeard as an indication of sloth.

My advice is thus; get rid of it before every job interview, and every time it's long enough to itch otherwise. Good luck in your search

This, although I keep it trimmed even further up the neck than Riker does (think chin strap, really.) I don't know how people can go around with a permanent neck beard; every time I go more than a day or two without shaving (which lets the hair on my neck start to grow) I wind up with irritated patches of skin where the neck beard has been rubbing against non-bearded parts of my skin. It's like sandpaper, and I don't see why anyone would voluntarily keep it. Unless they had enough time to take it from neckbeard to Gandalf beard, anyway.

 

[Lionsfan]

Nope, the most I get is scraggly hairs on my chin and upper lip. But I would never grow a neckbeard if I had the capacity to. I just think it looks stupid

 

[surg3n]

I don't just get neckbeard, I get GRISSLY neckbeard. When my beard gets to be about a week old, it goes a bit ginger and wirey, kinda like a viking, or that old episode of Family Guy where Peter grows a beard with birds in it, just like that. Usually when I'm not working I don't shave, so after say, 2 weeks vacation I'm like Grissly Adams - the beard actually starts to turn on me, gets itchy and jaggy, and eventually becomes self aware.

I have to use clippers before wet shaving when it's like that, otherwise it's bloody agony.
