How many of us are 40+ and sport facial hair?!?!

Seems there are a LOT of LBC owners with beards.

Personally, I really hate ritual face scraping. That's MY excuse.
 
I shave once a week whether I need it or not!
 
Well, I'm one. I stopped shaving when I got out of the army in '70. I only shaved it off on one occasion...the day I got married. I immediately grew it back. Here's me driving and my buddy Dave, also an LBC fan, on my TR3's maiden voyage. :laugh:

Edit: BTW, the goggles are made by Halcyon. The same company that made them for the RAF in WWII to the same specs. I got them from Aircraft Spruce. :smile:

Yeah, Art!! I stopped "shaving" about two days before discharge.

You two gentlemen look perfectly distinguished, BTW! :thumbsup:

<span style="font-style: italic">EDIT: An' tell Dave to join up here an' post!</span>
 
I'm savin' that shot fer my collection. It needs submitting for th' Calendar, too!!!
 
Could Dave get that door closed?
 
Ease up Colonel... I saw you in that Midget engine bay. :devilgrin: :jester:
 
Yeah, Dave's a big guy. I'm 6'2", about 210 lbs, but when I stand next to him, I feel tiny! Good thing I did engine mods on the TR so we could get the car moving with two lard butts in there. :hammer: Dave used to own a series 1 E-Type, but now has an XJ6.

My kids and my wife of 25 years have never seen me wif out a stash. Razor has never touch this top lip. EVER!
Tell the kids I came out with it. :laugh:
 
Keep 'em comin'!!!!
 
Don't remember when I started my beard.
I trim it now and then...... When it gets too long and bushy
my wife says I need a trim because I look like a civil war vet.......
While in Egypt... women came up to me to ask about flight schedules,
once I opened my mouth and said "mam"....you would have thought I had the plague!!!
With a beard... you fit in almost anywhere... Ha Ha

Wonder what kind of car she drives?
 
Yep, I am a bearded one also. I just plain hate shaving. I have had a beard since I COULD have one. Once every five or six years I shave it off just for grins, but that is about it. It can be fun when people that you know try to figure out why you look different.
 
I started my mustache while I was still in college and have not shaved it off in the last forty years. My beard was off and on for a few years in the late ‘70s and permanent starting in the early ’80. My wife chose to have me bearded at our wedding. Our dog is a bearded collie, so maybe we have taken the facial hair to an extreme. :banana:

when my then girlfriend, later wife, saw me clean shaven for the first time she told me she would leave me if I ever did that again. Well, she left me anyway without any facial hair removal. Now their telling me if I ever want a date I'll probably need to shave. I guess I'm confused.
