I don’t particularly want my new profile to have that meth chic look.
The long gray beard says “biker in his 60s” but the smooth, (mostly) unblemished skin says “I just learned to drive.”
Also if this is shortly after shaving, it might just be razor burn. It’s clearly been a while so your skin might just be angry and not used to blades.
I am an old fashioned guy in his 40s.
Splitting the difference, then.
got that “just learned to ride a motorcycle in my 40s” look
I have never learned to ride a motorcycle. They scare me.
got that “about to have a midlife crisis and learn how to ride a motorcycle” look
You need to think less motorcycle and more 19th century president.
ah, so are we talking wright brothers “about to develop the airplane” looking fit?
So maybe “I just learned how to ride horses in my 40s look?”
At least you have a Chin when you shave.
Some of us, not so lucky.
I have a couple of em
This is one of the reasons humans have to evolve past hair and become completely smooth. Fucking facial and body hair, I swear…
Body hair has it’s uses. Keeping you from getting a cold (micro clima) and preventing skin irritations.
I got laser hair removal all over my body* fifteen years ago. Best decision ever.
*got rid of all body hair except for eyelashes, eyebrows, and the hair on top of my head.
Full bald dong?
I’m a woman.
But since you mentioned it, the hottest & my favorite men I’ve been intimate with took care of grooming all over their bodies, no body hair. Smooth and clean everywhere.
I’m hairy.
There are few worse sensations than getting manbodyhair in my mouth & lodged in my throat 🤮
Yeah I bought one of those professional hair shavers to cut down because of this… Going full on with a safety is not fun
Thankfully, the dandruff shampoo advice seems to have worked.
The Phillip OneBlade is especially good if your skin is sensitive to razors. It doesn’t give a “razor clean” shave, but that’s the point.
Nobody made a Motorhead joke yet? This is Lemmy goddammit!
It’s been made.
You are right! Well executed A+
How is shaving off a reverse Mohawk in your beard making you look more presentable?
Because I like this look?
Lemmy, sing to us ace of spades!
I may be on Lemmy, but I could only hope to be Lemmy.
If it helps though, despite it being 4/20, I’m drinking port.
That style is so last year
Look, I can’t keep up with you kids at my age.
I’ll tell ya the secret sauce. It’s so we can easily filter out people like you in public without having to start a conversation. I like what I like, and don’t give a shit what others find presentable.
Sincerely,
Some dude with non-standard head hair and facial hair.
Wow ya really got me! Good one!

Skin issues aside, if this is for a profile pic it should be trivial to remove the discoloration in the pic.
Silver lining and all that.
I’d feel like I was cheating.
Nah. You’re not photoshopping a six pack on yourself. You’re just removing a temporary mark that isn’t part of your regular look. It’s making the photo more representative of your true every day appearance.
I can see it that way, but I still don’t think it would feel right to me to do it. I’d rather have people see my flaws and if this is some long-lasting thing, if it’s there in a couple of days, I’ll use it in the profile picture.
That level of honesty is noble but unwarranted. It’s a profile pic that is supposed to be a “here’s my general appearance” and that’s just a temporary blemish. If it becomes a part of your personality, take another picture. It will give you time to adjust to whatever the skin is going to do.
But if these blemishes turn up intermittently in different places, aren’t they a part of you in general? Yes, they might not be in that spot all the time, so “sure it’s fine to remove that because it’s not a permanent part of you” but if it keeps reoccurring, then I would argue that they’re a permanent part of you.
I would still remove it, but simply because clear skin makes you look better. I wouldn’t try to explain this vanity away.
if you don’t look like an utter piece of shit in your profile picture, people won’t be impressed when they meet with you IRL.
Gotta keep up the game.
Lean all in, wear an old civil war uniform (ideally Union but if you want some of that southern strange you could go Confederate) and work on your thousand mile stare. It’s like peacocking!
It’ll attract someone. (But I won’t be held responsible for the type of someone).
I used to get something similar under my beard/mustache. I’ll use a tiny bit of this shampoo periodically and it controls it quite well (assuming it’s fungal). Head and Shoulders might work too. https://a.co/d/2nMo1nH
Some other people said dandruff shampoo. I have some Selsun Blue in the cabinet I might try. Thanks.
I‘d use Ketozolin shampoo regularly. This looks like tinea barbea.
Definitely some form of fungal skin infection. If the ketoconazol shampoo doesn’t work talk to a skin doctor for some anitfungal pills. It’ll clear up in a few weeks.
I love tiny barbarians!
Jack Black im da house.
DISCO, BABY
Profile picture is now of The Expression.
Yes, Harry. It is an expression of pain.
I have had a beard for years and shaved it awhile ago. Same thing. Goes away in a few days in the sun for me.
