Hirsute or Not Hirsute

[Finistere]

Hi Finistere; interesting question (though not necessarily kilt related, a lot of us do indeed have beards).

Similar to Liam, I experimented with a beard early in life and stopped shaving the day before I got out of the US Air Force, wearing a beard ever since. When I was very young (perhaps 10 or 11), my father's best friend grew a beard for a bicentennial celebration in his home town and I was very impressed with the look so I decided at that time that I would be a bearded person when I grew up. Ironically, I have a 17yo grandson who now wears a beard.

I must add... I'm a home brewer and for us, a beard is part of the uniform (isn't that right, Brewer Paul?).

Ditto!! When I was retired from the Air Force due to ill health (that's another story which I can't talk about) I stopped shaving because of treatment and as an expression of freedom, not my original question, but it does seem facial hair and Kilt go hand in hand so far in this pole anyway, I'm sure the clean shaven guys will chime in shortly and prove this assumption wrong.
