Thread Name: Folklore: Why do folkies have beards
Subject: RE: Folklore: Why do folkies have beards
Hear hear!

I grew my first beard - sorry, stopped shaving for a bit - at the age of 17 during the summer holiday. When I turned up at school for Rugby training the day before term began in September the master-in-charge was less than impressed! It's been on and off since then - even a 'Zapata' moustache while at University - but I reckon it's here to stay. What's the point in shaving?!!

I also echo the points above about sailing, saving time - and sore faces!

Fuzz-faces of the world unite - you have nothing to lose but your razors.
