I know full beards are kind of taking over but the stubble beard is still pretty acceptable. That makes it easy for us guys that don't shave every day. (Retired)

That started with Sonny Crocket/Don Johnson in 1984 so that's been going on for 37 years. That show featured a lot of fashion that's way out of style now but is still recognizable if you want to parody that look.

You won't believe me but I won a Don Johnson look-a-like contest in Wichita in 1985, which was kind of cool since Don Johnson was from Wichita. I just thought it was weird to have a trend last that long. The story I heard was the actor DH had been out with real drug enforcement cops all night and look disheveled for the audition. The look stuck. I look more like Gahandlf now.

WHAT is this shave every day thing you mentioned?? I had a full beard for many years, and the last time I shaved it, my daughter cried and made me promise not to do it again. That was 21 years ago... I have been considering adopting the Phil Robertson look, but an nowhere near that yet....LOL

Started a beard in 1973. Shaved beard once April 1. 1980 so my future wife could me without. When the screaming stopped she said grow it back.
 
Cool beards. I absolutely suck at sports, so no basketball. I knew there would be a gay reference. He was too damn good-looking. I tried but I wasn't that close.

I have a beard half the time. Looking forward to the day I never shave again!!
 
Beards have become the crutch of men with double chins. Grow hair and only one chin again.

I got into an argument with guy at a drag strip years ago. I told him he looked like the dude in "Powder", the movie with the pale bald guy. He responded that I looked like Don Johnson.
His feeble attempt at an insult was a pathetic strike out. Don got more twat than the skinny, minnow skinned bald guy did!
 
I’m not into having a beard now but have in the past, along with goatee, long side burns, Fu Manchu and a plan mustache.
Mainly shaving every few days is the normal now so the Crockett stubble works.
Bringing up Don Johnson stirred up memory of a 1975 apocalyptic movie he was in called A Boy and his Dog. It takes place in 2024. DJ did not have a beard but he had an interesting way he communicated with his dog. The dog, Blood, earns his place in the movie.

You know, people.....A "Beard" is also something else as defined in the "Urban Dictionary"....


a beard
A women who goes on a date with a gay man to mask the fact that he is gay.
Boss asks you and your girl friend to join him and his wife for dinner, you accept. ( Boss suffers from severe homophobia ). You need a beard.
