I don’t particularly want my new profile to have that meth chic look.
Lots of shampoo recommendations but some sunlight will help, too. When you wash your face, dry it well.
At least you have a Chin when you shave.
Some of us, not so lucky.
I have a couple of em
I get that after having a beard and using my CPAP, I think it’s pressure sores. I use some dandruff shampoo on my skin and it clears up in about a week.
I have dandruff shampoo. I’ll try that, thanks.
I have a long beard. I would not be able to have a beard without using dandruff shampoo on it at least 3 times a week. I make sure to use beard oil right after to maintain moisture though.
The long gray beard says “biker in his 60s” but the smooth, (mostly) unblemished skin says “I just learned to drive.”
Also if this is shortly after shaving, it might just be razor burn. It’s clearly been a while so your skin might just be angry and not used to blades.
I am an old fashioned guy in his 40s.
Splitting the difference, then.
got that “just learned to ride a motorcycle in my 40s” look
I have never learned to ride a motorcycle. They scare me.
got that “about to have a midlife crisis and learn how to ride a motorcycle” look
You need to think less motorcycle and more 19th century president.
ah, so are we talking wright brothers “about to develop the airplane” looking fit?
So maybe “I just learned how to ride horses in my 40s look?”
Lean all in, wear an old civil war uniform (ideally Union but if you want some of that southern strange you could go Confederate) and work on your thousand mile stare. It’s like peacocking!
It’ll attract someone. (But I won’t be held responsible for the type of someone).
i’ve been told i’d look good in old war attire.
I’m not sure how i feel about it, but at least im not the only one LMAO.
Ooh yeah, if it goes all the way up he could make a wicked general Burnside.
I don’t know if my wife would want me attracting anyone, right or wrong.
She into dudes from the 1800s? Profile pic still stands!
The Phillip OneBlade is especially good if your skin is sensitive to razors. It doesn’t give a “razor clean” shave, but that’s the point.
Yeah I bought one of those professional hair shavers to cut down because of this… Going full on with a safety is not fun
Thankfully, the dandruff shampoo advice seems to have worked.
U got da herpz no cap fr fr tho
DISCO, BABY
Profile picture is now of The Expression.
Yes, Harry. It is an expression of pain.
Nobody made a Motorhead joke yet? This is Lemmy goddammit!
It’s been made.
You are right! Well executed A+
I have had a beard for years and shaved it awhile ago. Same thing. Goes away in a few days in the sun for me.
It looks like some sort of fungal infection to me. Watch the redness go away within 48 hours, now that that area gets sunlight.
I wish my beard grew that long, but it never wants to, I’m a little envious. You might benefit from one of those heated beard brushes that smooth out the hair. I got one but my beard refuses to grow in long enough for it to matter.
Easy solution to this problem: Photoshop it.
This is one of the reasons humans have to evolve past hair and become completely smooth. Fucking facial and body hair, I swear…
Body hair has it’s uses. Keeping you from getting a cold (micro clima) and preventing skin irritations.
I got laser hair removal all over my body* fifteen years ago. Best decision ever.
*got rid of all body hair except for eyelashes, eyebrows, and the hair on top of my head.
I’d like to but many people I’ve heard said it’s a procedure that needs to be repeated periodically, isn’t it?
It was a 3-year process, one treatment every 3 months. And no exposure to the sun during those 3 years. But it was so long ago, I hardly remember, and ever since then I’ve been maintenance-free, and free to sunbathe to my heart’s content. No hair.
Was the treatment full body, once every three months? I’ve thought about this for about 15 years but it seemed like it would take forever. Probably less than 15 years tho… This would be amazing.
I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. For anyone who’s extremely annoyed by their body hair and has money for laser hair removal, I HIGHLY recommend.
Best. Decision. EVER.
I did my trouble areas which I consider full body but it wasn’t technically full body. I did my facial sideburns, mustache area, underarms, Brazilian bikini, and my entire legs.
That’s good feedback, thanks!
I’ve been kind of considering doing something like that since I’ve grown to despise pretty much all my body hair. What do you mean no exposure to the sun? Is it just a case of “don’t stay in the sun unnecessarily” or straight up “turn into a vampire and avoid the sun at all costs”?
They don’t want you to get a suntan or a sunburn during the course of treatment because it will affect the way the lasers react to your skin.
Full bald dong?
I’m a woman.
But since you mentioned it, the hottest & my favorite men I’ve been intimate with took care of grooming all over their bodies, no body hair. Smooth and clean everywhere.
I’m hairy.
