Goatee anyone?

[Seb Lucas]

....You mean 'white' ones ?

One of the really good goatees I've seen, HD. I grow one every year but loose it after a few weeks. Keep playing with it, trimming it, then give up.

Hi

I just shaved off some of my 14 year old beard. I've had the mustache since I was 18 (shaving accident, when it healed, I had a mustache). I think it makes my face look thinner.

Yes, you look much thinner. BTW, like the Tumwater Roughrider. I'm in the process of growing a Van Dyck, Named after the 18th century Dutch painter Antoon Van Dyck. Pic's to follow really soon, sooner than you think, which is like before you know it.

Say gents, has the goatee "gone with the wind" or is it still as popular as the past 8 or so years? What's the concensus for this style of facial hair today among the Fedora Lounge crowd?

It's still cool with me!

I go with the Gorton's Fisherman look. Shaving it into a goatee is just wasted minutes each morning.

Besides, having a solid Scottish ancestry (and name), it just goes with the territory.

Definitely makes me look more distinguished (I'm on the left, BTW)...

Rotate between this usually in cooler months and somewhat pencil style stasch in the summer.

Wife won't let me shave.

Much better than a wife who simply wants to see less of a guy's face.

 

[kyboots]

Same for me...

Same for me too! I like my goatee.

Here's a "before" shot of last years winter coat. Got too hot and had to prune it back early in the summer.
Here's a more recent pic with some fans

Been wearin' a goatee pretty much since I finished college in 90, except when I get lazy and let the whole beard grow in.

I'm going to grow a goatee again.
Here is a sharp looking one for inspiration:


From an Ingmar Bergman film called 'Thirst' (1949).

Note the horizontal stripes.

Don't know if the look is intended to reflect this, but he is a baddy.

I sort of prefer the unconnected mustache chin beard combo to the goatee. To my mind, the ultimate wearer of this style in all human history was New Orleans' own General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard, particularity to one he sported later in life:

Although, in his prime he really sported more of a "soul patch"

Observe that as a young man, he had just a mustache, which just looks wrong (on him) in my opinion:

 

[scrawlysteve]

I'm sure it is indeed meant to suggest baddy. Satan is often depicted with a goatee--usually a nicely trimmed one like the chap above. This is preferable stylistically (IMO) to the untended bush (I use this word advisedly) which is reminiscent not so much of the Prince of Darkness as the folk Burt Reynolds had to kill in Deliverance. No offence meant to those who love a bush on their face...

This guy is just trying a little too hard; an 1860s hipster perhaps?

That's pretty much the style I had recently (until my wife forced me to shave it off). I think it's a good look: very much a mid-20th century beatnik, poet, outsider beard.
I copied mine from the actor Roger Delgado (except that his was black and thick, mine was thin and grey).

I like the way the beards in this picture (from the film A Private's Progress) are used to show the contrast between Ian Carmichael's clean-shaven respectability and the war-avoiding artists.
