Beard

[saint_stevo]

Mine is itching, stupidly agreed with a group of mates to 'back the beard for England' i.e- not shave until we get knocked out.....not about 10 days in mine is itchy as hell......any ideas fine people?

 

i also look like a 14yr old french kid

I am also growing a beard, although it's not going very well as it's more wispy bumfluff than proper manly 'Chuck Norris' styley. Best tip for an itchy beard is to lather it up as if you were going to shave with shaving gel/foam and then just wash it off in the shower. Most shaving gels contain anti-irritant agents so that ought to solve your problem for a bit anyway.

Good luck with that, although if it doesn't work then it probably means you have facial crabs.

Tried this once and it went something like this

 

Week 1 - OK, looked pretty cool

Week 2 - Itchy, really itchy

Week 3 - Turned Ginger

Week 4 - Shaved

Yeah i have a stupid beard at the moment, but not really because of back the beard but because i am at a stag do tomorrow and needed a big ass 'tache, so the majority of the beard will go tonight probably.

 

14 days...........itchy as f*ck

Mine started life for the JPT campaign, hence still have it. I am hoping that it will not require removal until we start defending it at the very least.

 

Re the soreness, try a sprinkling of vinegar, all your poncey lotions contain alcohol, that is whay they dry so quickly leaving the skin exposed. Vinegar is alkaline and thus will actually leave the skin feeling smoother and enable the skin to self moisturise. hth

vinegar on this face? Must be joking

I think he was referring to the bush, not the beard.

No, not joking, not joking at all BOYS.

 

Think about it, were you lads absent from school the day they taught the virtues of vinegar (acetic acid). It is a miracle product with many many uses. the romans knew of it's powers my favourite being that it a cure for both dhiarhoea AND constipation. Beat that!

[Pugwash]

Cider vinegar is supposed be very therapeutic, apparently.

[saint_stevo]

the only time i have used vinegar is when it seems i am close the the itchy thrushyness in my nether regions. Always does the trick

[SuperMikey]

Beards of England UNITE!

[hamster]

/\

good man.

[bungle]

At 5pm you'll be able to shave it off, so I wouldn't worry too much.

[saint_stevo]

mine still going. found conditioner to do the trick.

 

I do though, look ridiculous. Patchy as hell

[hamster]

Stevo you'll learn to love it and one definite good thing is that people will start to refer to you as 'that short bloke with the beard' and not that short bloke with the gammy leg' any more.

 

btw, I am starting to wonder if there's not something in all this positive energy that we exude through our follicles? Now then, how can we get the fairer sex to join in?

[SuperMikey]

Simple Hamster: just do a swap with France and/or Russia. Our women in exchange for theirs. Their lot already have full beards.

They're not in it though. I was thinking more along the lines of encouraging our bit's of squeeze to join in the not shaving bit too.

[Redbul]

I tried Hamster's advice to try and stop itching. I was applying it in the bathroom when the missus asked me to hurry up. I told her I wouldn't be long as I was on the vinegar strokes. She hasn't talked to me since....

[saint_stevo]

and it has gone. Thank fook
