[Steam] Thread XIII: The World's #1 Forum-Themed Hat Acquisition Simulator

[Tono]

I personally wouldn't mind a goatee like the one mario has, but I can't grow facial hair worth anything so I constantly shave.

[Rutskarn]

Your girlfriends hot mario, you lucky bastard. You know you're lucky right?

His girlfriend is Hot Mario?

...yeah, he's still lucky.

[Dread Cthulhu]

I always forget to shave. So a whole bunch of pictures of me which might have looked okay don't because it's just all stubbly and that.

To keep this more on topic, Steam is very useful for opening up the pores previous to shaving and can result in much better shaves.

So I've heard. Facial hair and I, however, have a long-standing hatred of each other, and thus it generally keeps away from me.

Plus I'd look stupid with a beard...although I could probably rock the swashbuckler mustache...

Indeed! As a big fan of the clean-shaven look, I support this 100%

As I understand it, you have a ponytail, correct?
You'd be advised to stay away from facial hair. A goatee and a ponytail is kind of a giant "nerd alert" warning and makes it very difficult to buy suits that look good with it.
Ponytails are fine without a beard though. Then it presents an approachable feeling rather than the freely flowing long hair of metal heads and their ilk that just intimidates other people.
And for the love of God tell me you look after it. Nothing worse in the world than a poorly washed ponytail. It's like a single terrible dreadlock trying to invade our home dimension to impregnate our brains for the inevitable take over.

Now now, beards can be incredibly stylish and look great if taken care of properly.
A decent shave of the areas you don't want beard every day, as well a visit to a decent barber at regular intervals can do wonders.
Plus, a well mannered goatee or full beard looks fantastic in a suit.



For the record, I have a Man Guide, which is pretty much the best thing ever and includes wonderful tips on proper shaving for those who want it.

Of course, you can't actually see the ponytail there, but it should suffice to demonstrate that I would never have a brain-impregnating dreadlock of hell.

I have a friend that has hair similar to yours and because of it and the way he looked we started calling him Jesus.

Two years ago in high school (he was a senior and myself a junior) we had a spirit week and one day was superhero day. He came dressed as Jesus. He had so many people take pictures of him and managed to keep from getting yelled at by the administration. It was awesome.

I also have a friend who is occasionally referred to as Jesus due to said hairstyle. You aren't somewhere in the northern Colorado region, are you?

Perhaps it's just common to assign that nickname to people with that hairstyle.

Funny story here...I've done almost the exact same thing.

I also played God in a play once, because of my voice and the fact that, with my hair down and dyed gray, and dressed in a flowing white robe, I looked the part (apparently...).

My hair is actually shorter now. I think I had it cut shortly after these were taken. The chin scruff is fuller too.
And because I just like to brag about it and the photos don't show it off, the chain is silver and is attached to a 1900 Swiss pocket watch, my pride and joy. My cuff links are also jade from India.

When I do fancy, I do fancy right.

Alas, my suit has wonderfully subtle pinstripes on it and, while it is impressive, one does not wear a pinstriped suit with a non-pinstriped vest. I was also going out dancing, and doing a swing dance in a suit is a difficult affair.

Tell me about it.
I went out dancing with the girl in that pic wearing that suit. Felt like I was boiling to death with so many people crammed into one hall.
Still, would do it again.

I must compliment you on your pocket watch. I have my own silver pocket watch with a similar chain. It also has a neat engraved saying on the back of it as well. I need to get it looked at so I can know more about it.

And on the subject of fancy, I've personally been going with all black. Shirt, pants, jacket and then a colored tie with a black fedora. That's my Jazz Band performance attire. It looks great whilst playing the Trombone.

SO HOW ABOUT THAT VALVE, HUH?

Gotta call a plumber about that thing, everything runs slowly through it.

See? See? It's the bestest beard ev- Oh, who'm I trying to fool. Beards don't really work on me. Which is a bit of a setback in the philosophising business... Hence the clean shaved-ness. New haircut though.

My go-to outfit for when I want to look nice consists of black pants, black shoes, black socks, black shirt, black jacket, black silk tie, black Fedora, and black sunglasses.

I like it.

Sounds like mine, except replace "black tie" with "white tie" and "black Fedora" with "black fedora with red feather."

I keep it clean shaven, despite recognizing how awesome beards can be. And clearly all this is related due to how STEAMy we all are.

[Mtg_player_zach]

I would post a picture of myself but I don't have a current picture of myself. I currently have a beard that is of decent length and fullness. No moustache though, they don't agree with me. And if I feel up to it I could let the forum decide in what way I style it (Mutton chops, etc.). I'll be back home on saturday so I'll try to take a picture then.
