The one I go to is £35 for a haircut. It's eyewateringly expensive so only get it done every 8 weeks or so, and suffer the bombardment of emails after 3 weeks insisting how important it is have it cut every 3 weeks! Hah. I used to occasionally visit one like this in London near Chartlotte Street...must've been payiong around £40. I got a text message from them not long ago, saying they're back and ready to cut hair. Ted's? I liked that place |

Is "metrosexual" still in common use, or did it die out a couple of decades ago?
Asking for a friend.

Metrosexual sounds like jerking it on the train.

I’ve not been to Fitzrovia for a while. No, the place I was referring to is called Sharps, I think. Forgot the Street name but it had a NatWest in the top corner, Tottenham Court Road side. |

The lady there advised me about propecia which gave me another 5 years of hair |

Does an amazing chicken salad box, I love the chilli sauce. |

I don't think so, but there were loooooads of places to eat around there and I've not been in the area for work for about 4 years now, so it was probably something else if I did eat there |

Depends on your skin, really.
Don't use soap to wash it too often (although you can sometimes, it strips out the oils the hair needs to be healthy) and use a decent organic beard oil occasionally, like all the good hipsters.

Mine stops itching like fuck after about 3 weeks. But then starts again if I let it get too long. So I tend to just keep it short l, clean and oiled.

I doubt I could grow a convincing beard despite being 40. I’m not sure what happened from one generation to the next, my old man had a hairy chest and stubble a few hours after shaving when I was a boy, I still look like I’m barely 20

So that's what happens when you look after yourself. Well blow me down.

Tbf, I know I'm a fat fuck but having a luscious head of hair makes me look way younger than my peers.

So I've started growing a beard again. Think I'm past the fire ants all over your face stage. Now I'm at the feeling grubby stage. Does this pass? Or are bearded people inherently grubby and lazy people anyway?
Come at me.

Shampoo that beard and a good beard oil will make you feel so fresh and so clean.

Having been a beard face for decades I've never really got past that grubby feeling stage, despite trying now and then, I generally just trim it back to a No 2 or something every few weeks.
I do wish society would backlash against beards as it once did, then us true beardy weirdy's can go back to feeling good about them again. |

I try to keep my beard at a no5. Any longer and I look like a mess.

I've started just going over mine once of twice a week with the oneblade #3 attachment, so still borderline stubble. #1 for the neck as you can get away with being fairly inaccurate without it looking like shit.
Any longer than that and it just bugs me far too much. I might have a look at beard oil options and try growing it longer.
I've finally come to terms with having a pathetic amount of chest hair, so just shave it and my nips every now and again now. Had a mishap a few weeks ago where I shaved over a nipple instead of around it. It hurts more than you'd think!

Do you even vaguely pass for Freddie Mercury with a beard?
