You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Currently rocking the full vagrant/Manson family look - hair halfway down my back and full Uncle Albert/PostieRich/Ed Oxley/RocketDog number.
I like it, but Mrs S reckons it's like being attacked by an over enthusiastic bog brush.
So, how long is too long?
How short is too short?
Don't have an account to post pics, but think of Cousin It and you won't be far out.
Suggestions?
Have booked myself in tomorrow with a friend who's suggested a bit of layering of the Barnet, trimming the sides of the beard and keeping the length.
Willing to post pictures if anyone can suggest a suitable photo hosting site or happy to stick some pictures up.
🙂
Just for reference I'm short, fat, and will be dressed up as Santa for the kids at the works do.
Go for the full Cheshire.

Not a chance.
It's an awful lot longer than that.
The long hair is staying and I bloody hate Cheshire.
Wrong drugs for a start.
Nice cheese though.
Get a mini strimmer to take care of wayward hair. You need to free style it though without a guard.
Use a regular razor to shape the neck lines.
I use a Gillette buzzer, cheap but it works, and it uses the same batteries that my wireless mouse does, so I don't have to worry about it going flat as I have them on rotation.
Ok, but what's classed as 'wayward'?
Postimage.org is great for posting pics on here.
Short back and sides if rocking a full beard IMHO

That looks like a nasty scar, but the surgeon did a very good job.
The longer you want your hair the more time you have to spend keeping it neat imo. The long and untrimmed tramp look is rarely a good one.

Matty he did ok!

I think we may be talking cross purposes here.
Angry dolphins?
Get it trimmed and tidied up, everyone's a winner. Think Dave Grohl rather than Frank from Shameless.
Keep both but tidy them up. I had an epic beard for years and cut it off earlier this year. It’s coming back though. I’d do the basics myself and visit a good barber once a month for a proper tidy up. I’m bald so keep the hair for me 🙂

Long hair or no hair I reckon
Rught. I’m going to need the backstory on that scar.
Be very careful Rusty_Spanner, it could all go horribly wrong. Check out what's happened to Peter Sagan and his luscious locks.
HTH
like achillies i always feel weak after a hair cut.
Normally i keep the winter beard under control how ever thanks to the fact i no longer have an office job ive just let it go ferral to see how it looks.
it looks shit.
leaving it till after strathpuffer before i deal with that fact though.
Rught. I’m going to need the backstory on that scar.
It’s where he keeps his pajarmas.
I thought you were only doing this to wind us baldies up, and the novelty would have worn off by now?
Hair peace, not hair piece.
That's my philosophy on life Binners.
🙂
Off to the slaughter.....
the standard method is
long hair - short trimmed beard
long beard - short trimmed hair
long beard long hair - not looking after yourself vibe
so I would neaten the beard to a consistent length if you are going to keep longer hair, the layers sound like a good idea
Get a haircut, hippy!
postierich has got it right. Very smart for a shorter style. I have long hair to just below shoulder, and a thickening beard. Work is easy to find this time of year #nativity
I have been, at various times in my life, been likened to Russel Brand, Jesus of Nazereth, 'all of the Kings of Leon at once', Kid Rock and Lars Ulrich amongst others. Sometimes in a single day/4am kebab shop. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger they say.

sound advice.
haha where as i got likened to eustace conway .....
That advice would be sound apart from the fact that beard in postierich’s image isn’t long.

Rught. I’m going to need the backstory on that scar.
Damn right.
Had half the hair off and the beard just hides the chins.
Easier to manage, but no free soup.
Postie’s scar is from where he had his haggisectomy
It’s where he keeps his pajarmas.
he had some bits removed a few years ago iircJamie - Member

To leave room for the pjamas of course

I've been issued with a shave or don't come home order haha.
To be fair she's right.
I had my out of control cousin it look taimed to something like this yesterday. Looks loads better!

Just neaten that beard up. I’m also growing my hair, no real reason, just to see what it’ll be like/laziness/useful to have it in readiness for a comb over
The only way I'll look like thanks if they staple the photo to my forehead 😉
On the plus side TR, if you're in a slightly dodgy part of the world, you are rocking the US 'contractor' trying to blend in look...
it makes no odds. im not allowed off compound 🙁
Definitely go Dave Grohl.
Coolest man alive.
TR, me too but the hair and beard are close to it now.
something like this
Yeah, just like that. I bet you're indistinguishable 😮
In (very) soft focus perhaps.
