    Be one with the wire, the beard-in-mouth, the nose-tickles.

    I found that through no other option (I only actually found the box my trimmer somehow got into yesterday) it just sorted itself out. And now I've powered through the difficult phase, I'm never shaving again.

    Don't talk to me about beards.

    Mine is black, brown, red, white and frickin cat whiskers that can pierce paper.

    Hair is stoopid.

    Wait until you find the individual oval/flat whiskers, that don't seem to have a root at all.

    Mine is ginger, brown, dark brown and grey.

    The ginger is from my dad. The brown is from my mum. The dark brown? my grandad, and the grey is my two ex wives.

    All caucasian beards go through a ginger stage.

    Mine's gingery in the sunlight, brown in winter, and permanently has a stupid little white patch on one side for no forthcoming reason. I tell myself that the white patch is the price I paid for going to uni (besides the huge actual price, I mean). And if it gets longer than about 1cm, it goes wiry and homeless, and if I shave my skin turns into a warzone. Best I can do is clip it about once a month.

    On-topic, though, what's currently making my life awesome is working for myself. I've been doing it for years but only very recently, with the helpful suggestions of my partner, who works as a PA and is very admin-headed, has it begun to make sense. I'm now appointment-only and that alone has changed my life. It used to be a walk-in business, which is nothing more than constant barely-contained chaos. I hated it. Appointments Cheesecake.

    Also I just decided to start doing online content and I'm excited about that. My GoPro has been a dashcam for 4 months and it's starting to look pretty frustrated, like its potential is evaporating away with time.

    So was I. It slowly (the head) made way for light brown the same as mum. But aye, I was a proper ginger nut. Only thing was I always had mum's very fine hair.

    Mine didn't and I'm definitely caucasian. My beard is nearly finished going straight from dark brown to white.

    Mine was dark brown or medium brown depending on season. Started going grey at around 30 with about 20% of it pure white at 41. Now 90% or so is skin coloured, thin and grows about half a mm per week. :p

    Oddly enough, Laura asked me the other day if I wanted some; she was buying some as a Christmas gift but the shipping was too much for just one box:

    What a stroke of luck :happy:

    It might come to that, I bought a load of BrewDog in and it's barely been touched as the advent calendar is keeping me busy!

    You're well stocked up then.

    I wasn't drinking much, but the beer's certainly gone down since my son came home! Better add some to the tesco order
