Beard review 1:
Rasputin: A review by Shooty:
Personally, I was disappointed by Rasputin's latest beard work. I have always been a fan of his previous efforts, but his latest growth left me cold. Admittedly, the length of the folicles is without equal in 19th/ early 20th century Russia, but one gets the distinct impression that he is suffering from "second album syndrome". Look at it. No effort appears to have gone into the growth. Uniform disperal of beard thickness has been cast to the wind, and the effect is more "hobo" than "hero". Whilst this look may work for, say, Beck, for the sole medical adviser to hemophiliac russian princes, we have to say that this look it an utter faux pas.
On the plus side, mustache to beard linkage is good, with no embarassing "teenage boy" hair gaps around the outside corner of the upper lip. Hygiene appears good. Bread crumbs and food residue appear minimal. The colour matches the eyebrows and ear hair. It could do with some straightening, really.
So, the main question: will I be interested in his next beard? It's tricky. Despite this disappointing effort, we shall have to wait and see what he comes out with.

Hey Mullet,

Although you dint have cats do you?

Ok, Shooty, if you wrote that all by yourself, you have now gained my full apreciation and respect.Shooty* said:pognophobes

Yep, all my own work. I think I'll leave the critiques there for the time being.

Beard review 02:
Karl Marx.
Again with the 19th Century beards. Something about this era seems to produce real quality, or at least innovation: these were men (and, perhaps in Russia, sometimes the women too) clearly not afraid to break new ground as far as radical policital thought, scientific discovery, navigation, medicine and facial hair were concerned.
We had planned on reviewing Jim Morrison's erstwhile beard today, but decided that it just made him look like Jesus in The Passion Of The Christ, so decided not to.
Anyway, Mr Marx has gone for a very admirable approach in that the head hair blends seamlessly into the facial hair, unlike Mr Rasputin who you will recall we critiqued a few days ago. Indeed, the effect for Karl is rather as if someone has cut a head-shaped hole in a fluffy sheepskin rug and he's poked his little communist noggin through it.
Note in particular the recessed hairline, giving the entire affair a more stream-lined feel. Clearly, he was aware that if his hairline came down to more convention levels (i.e. couple of inches above the eyebrows, rather than half way up his head) then his distinctive facial features would be lost in a cousin It/ sasquatch mess.
Note also the bushiness and the apparent cleanliness of the whole thing. This is a man comfortable with his beard, whose beard in turn appears comfortable. You could lean against a window or table on a long train journey and be perfectly padded as you slept. Also noteworthy is the "original" colour of the mustache, which provides chromatic counterpoint.
A masterpiece, then, but also clearly a beard of it's time. You don't see many like that nowadays.

And it looks like Castro didn't only follow in his follicles, he followed a really screwed up ideology.

["I'm still feeling this out. I'll have a cubical (ugh, cubical farms... I HATE working for corperate....I mean HATE)"]
I say there is no pressure like financial pressure, so if you keep an open mind the first new paycheck may make the cubicle (and the corporation) not look so bad. Besides - testing games? It sounds more like "play than "work".
I'm from a different generation (the crewcut was our statement) so I'll stay out of the beard revue.
Congratulations and good luck!!
