    I have had a big mustache for about 40 years. I had a full beard for about 6 months when I was 25.

    I was clean shaven all my life and did the growth in my upper lip, as the hair went grey.

    I've tried variations on a mustache, a Van Dyke, and Goatee. All of them come in too patchy for me to think they look good on me.

    I have always been clean shaven. I would probably have a moustache if I could grow one. I am bald in the middle right under my nose.:angry021:

    I shaved my beard off more than a month ago. :shaver I used to wear my mustache like Paul Sr. On American Chopper but when I shaved my beard I messed it up so I just have a mustache. If I was still in the Corps I would pass inspection :transport024:

    I don't have much facial hair. A goatee and mutton chops is all I can grow. I'm usually clean shaven though.

    Goatee and connected moustache for about the past 15 years. Before that, full beard or clean shaven on and off since college.

    I've tried most of it at least once (yes, even a chinstrap and one time a Maynard G Krebs thing) with the exception of long sideburns since I don't really have any sideburns to speak of. Up until this current winter season my regular routine (with variations) was clean in the summer and beard/moustache in the winter. Last January I purchased my first DE and began wet shaving. It helped me learn technique not having to shave my whole face but once summer came I really got into shaving and this is the first winter in at least 10 that I'm clean shaven. I enjoy facial hair but truth be known I mostly grew a beard because I hated shaving and then by summer it was too hot and I was tired of maintaining it.

    Sporting the circle beard for the past 8 years now. I've worn one on and off my entire shaving life though. I feel I look better with facial hair.

    I've been clean shaven for 8 years. Although I grew a mustache for the entire month of march one year... then promptly shaved it off on the first of April.

    I go between clean shaven, a soul patch, and a goatee.

    Clean shaven.
    I often only shave every 3 days so more than not I got some stubble going but when I shave I shave it all.

    I think I have a rather complex facial hair structure going on LOL !!! I have a chinstrap beard that leads into a Van Dyke followed by a full handlebar moustache. I have a decent amount of real estate accounted for on my face. It actually make my shave more interesting maneuvering the curves etc. to keep my lines straight.

    Goatee here. I've had issues getting straight lines with a DE so I picked up a straight razor like the barbers use which take half of a DEblade. It takes some getting used to, like anything razor related, but overall it cleans up the lines real nice.
