Aye, but, then again, unkempt stubble can cut both ways, missy!

True, but that's why there are day spas with very nice waxing specialists.
So, on a side note, I was driving home from work today and I glance in my rear view mirror to see some guy shaving in the car behind me while waiting for the light to change. As stated, I'm a fan of a clean-shaven face, but isn't that taking things a little too far? I'm guilty of putting lipstick on in the car mirror, but please tell me that this isn't a regular guy thing (or is it?).

I only apply lipstick using the car mirror if I'm not feeling pretty. So, no, it's not a regular guy thing.

I suppose I set that one up, but I meant the shaving thing. I am, however, curious about what shade of lipstick you would wear to go with your mayo beard.

Forget all these junky electric shavers: if you want the unkempt look, you want one of those old spring-loaded manual clippers, the pre-electric kind. They never break, never really even need to be sharpened, just oiled a couple of times a year, and of course you have to shake out/clean out all the little hairs every time you use it. What's better, unlike the electric ones, it doesn't leave every single hair at eerily the same length: more natural-looking. It's also just somehow more gentlemanly, IMHO. They sell for way under ten bucks shipped on ebay. I only started with one of these beauts after I burned out my electric clipper trying to use it overseas (guess it was a linear and not a switching power supply), and will never go back.

edit: just to clarify i have nothing close to a full beard, that would be pretty freaky..
When I was in middle school there was a student who could grow a full beard at 12-13!! And he was blonde!
Personally I didn't get the moustache-goatee connecting hair till I was in my mid 20s.
Right now I'm rockin a VanDyke (wider at the bottom rather than straight-down.... gotta work with what God gave you for a jawline) and narrower sideburns (cut straight across the top of earlobe).
I had the homeless man beard going on (unshaven for 3 months). Then I trimmed it down. Its sort of like a full beard in the sense that I havent shaved any part that has grown (except for the mustache, it looks ugly).

Every now and again you see people that are obviously using a goatee to carve themselves a chin or a beard to give themselves a jaw line. This is like the comb over for facial features. And to me reeks of low self esteem.
