Well it seems a bit more even-money on the poll, but I still haven't had any comment from Dave or Andy. :mrgreen:

well after a good minute on photoshop I came up with this artists impression of Nev without a beard. Not too convinced.

Well you could always grow it back and I hear that you can compost hair so you might have a good beard garden next year. Maybe you could even have a beard mulch around your veggies.

silly question coming up - IF you shave off your beard won't your skin be really pale in comparison to the rest of your face????

WOmbat with no beard is like a pub with no beer, don't do it mate.

It does seem like you have opened up a debate here mate, three pages of posts on your beard :shock:

Actually I am half tempted to contradict myself as it would be interesting to see what you look like under the beard. You could always grow it back again.

Hmm no second thoughts don't shave it off as it makes you look like a friendly sort. I think you will end up looking like this Image if you shave it off, can't have that.

I make most of my best decisions on the toss of a coin. Have you thought of that?

Don't shave it !

just for the sake of the white skin underneath ..

and god knows what you will find in it after 30 years !

I personally just trim the beard and hairs once in a while ..

there was once that I've trim the beard to short and the OH didn't want to see me untill it grew back !

maybe Ms Wombat is trying to do something ! so don't do it !

Perhaps if you do shave it, have a competition for charity - guess the weight of it?

Are you sure there's still a chin under there, then? You could have lost it and never realised...

It could be like Sampson and Delila but with a beard instead of hair you might loose all of your powers mate :lol:
