Since growing a beard thirteen years ago I estimate I have saved at least £300 .. and thats if I'd used bics and palmolive sticks.. factor in gilette Mach whatevers, fancy creams, aftershave, moisturisers etc and it would be much more.... it keeps me warm in winter, saving on skin care products, and cool in summer, has an spf of about 15 which saves on sun lotion, and is kept neat for almost nothing with a pair of scissors.. its a natural thing, adn I've never understood this obsession with hairlessness.. unless it has something to do with our present day idolisation of youth.. which is slightly worrying to me anyway... on top of this, grow a decent one and you can have it cut off for charity, which means not only are you saving, but helping others... only a good tip for men, but ladies can stop shaving too.. won't save them as much...

Yeh i cant get my head around this obsession to be hairless either, i mean its worring when people start to like hairless genitals, after all ADULTS are supposed to have hair! Ewww makes me shudder_pale_Caz

Going along the hairless genitals route.... I can understand if someone does it for the way it feels (I drunkenly shaved my head recently, and it definately felt....different :rotfl:), but I don't see the visual attraction of having zero genital hair.
It seems very strange to me, because 10+ years ago it was 'kinky' to have no genital hair. Nowadays, it's almost classed as kinky to HAVE genital hair. :think:
Of course (to get, slightly, back on track) to have genital hair that looks like a beard is also very niche. :rotfl:I have no signature.0 -

Very true. I'd be hard pushed having a relationship with a man who didn't have a beard. Weird I know, but it's just how it is.0 -

I don't think I ever have. I think I just see beards as the norm - all the males in my family have them, and I see hairless chins as a bit naked!Stay-at-home, attached Mummy to a 23lb 10oz, 11 month old baby boy.0 -
I'd rather be £300 out of pocket than have a beard! :rotfl:0
