The Thicket Club - Accepting Members

[BBS Kirk]

I am starting a new club, Gents. I think it is time to honor those that have thickets for a beard. That's right. It takes more of a swipe with the blade to get a BBS for us. So if you have coarse and thick facial hair, please join the club and strive for BBS, Gents.

I am going to call it "Gents with Thickets." Let me know what you Gents think.

[Demaskee]

I like the idea. While I get BBS (with effort), even immediately after my shave, my face has that Fred Flintstone permanent shadow look. Within 2 hours my BBS is gone.

On one hand I hate it, on the other, I have reason to shave everyday and play with the fruits of my ADs.

 

[Bcobu1102]

I'm in Kirk. Definitely a 3-pass minimum; without it I'm a 5 o'clock mess at 7:30 am. -Ben

Just for reference, there was a study conducted (I'll try to find a link) where over 80 percent of men interviewed identified themselves as having facial hair that was "thicker / tougher" than the average man.

Do gents with thickets play cricket with wickets? If so, I'm in.

Like nearly everyone, my beard is coarser, thicker, and just plain badder than average.

 

[Kyle 3 Pass]

I'm in as well. I just can't seem to get BBS. I could do 6 passes and still look stubbly in jaw area. Cut throat soon, brah! I've already been reading how to hone and strop.

 

[HOUS3Y]

I'm in. My beard hair is thick, coarse and black. So even if I am BBS you can still see the follicles. Unless, I shave against the grain, which in turn causes bumps and ingrown hairs, I basically keep a shadow.

[DrumZalot]

I'm in. I have thick wiry facial hair. Even a 4 or 5 pass super smooth shave still leaves me with a semi shadow look. By night the stubble makes the shadow even more obvious.

 

[lobomalo72]

I'm in. I do get a BBS shave here and again. Wish it would last a little longer then it does.. but like our friend Demaskee said, I get to come home to play with my shaving toys and soaps.

In Lake Wobegon?

 

[bvilchez]

I'm in there like swimwear!!!

I remember being a young Marine and getting my butt chewed before noon chow because I hadn't shaved when in all actuality I did shave that morning. My comeback comment was "some of us go through puberty earlier than others". Then I would get my butt chewed again.

 

[Jwesleym]

When I have 2 days growth, the wife won't touch me. The kids don't want my "spikes" near them. If I rest my chin on my hand, it hurts my chin from the inside. Is that thicket worthy?

[gwsmallwood]

I'm in. Doubly so, since I'm also a head shaver. I have to do multiple ATG passes to get to BBS, and even when I do, I still have a shadow.

 

[mswofford]

My grandchildren don't like "sharps" on my face.

 

[nacho_grande]

Count me in! I have the most stubborn thickets ever.

 

[bkbrewer]

I'm definitely in.

 

[SpaceCadet1]

I've got thick, curly, dark facial hair. I end up shaving off skin before I get to BBS. I have always have the 'shadow', and 5 o clock shadow by 2 o clock.

My goal is just CCS/DFS with no irritation.

Count me in.
