Who has facial hair?

[annekathleen]

Does anyone here still wear a mustache, and/or a beard?
Obviously, if you don't give up the facial hair, your chances
of "passing" are very slim.

Did anyone here once have a mustache or beard, and decided
to shave it off, to improve their "passability"?

[Sandi jo]

When I am in fem mode I shave as close as possible,if I know I'm not going to dress for a few days I will let my facial hair grow

[Melissa A.]

I've never grown a beard or mustache in my life, and hate when I can't shave daily, even twice a day sometimes. The facial hair will be history, beginning sometime this year, and it can't happen fast enough.

Hugs,

Melissa:)

In my early days of dressing, I shaved everything off. That left me with the feeling that I was both a homely woman and man!

However, since I began making and wearing my special faces, it is the opposite!
I can keep my beard and mustache, and still feel attractive when I CD!

[Amy Hepker]

I used to have a mustach and hated it when I wanted to dress as my wife (now Xwife) hated me without it. After her I shaved it off and it is gone forever now.

[Jilmac]

I've been dressing for about 48 years and had a full beard for 36 years. I grew the beard as an identity statement at my job and also to protect my puss from the elements. I was in the closet until my wife passed away last August. Now I am enjoying dressing and going out with "the girls" so I have shaved it off completely. The main problem is that I'm still not passable unless you'd consider a "really ugly chick" as passable. Now that my beard is gone, I need plastic surgery too.:eek: Luv and :hugs: Jill

f-a-c-i-a-l what ???


Oh you mean that stuff I'm paying to get rid off

[jennifer41356]

I went one step further and had electrolysis, to get rid of the heavy beard...when I was in my 20's I had a mustache and did shave it off when I decided I wanted to explore my fem side:gfi:

[bEEb]

Had it off and on for years. Shaved it 2 years ago. Won't grow it again ever. Now if they would just invent a pill to make it all fall out everywhere.....

I used to have a beard and mustache (24/7) for several years in the 80's and into the 90's. I shaved it all off around '96, but have had times where I've let it grow back in for a couple weeks or so before shaving it off again (basically, I hate shaving). Right now though, I have been giving A LOT of thought to the idea of having electrolysis done on my face and neck so I won't NEED to shave :D.

If that happens, I may give in to the idea of the rest of my body too.

[KandisTX]

Normally I would only have facial hair during the run of TRF (Texas Renaissance Festival), however I have had the current growth since July of 2006. The look suits me well, although it has been "difficult" for Kandis to come out and play. I'm sure I'll shave it off again sometime, but for now, I'll stick with the mustache.

Kandis:love:

[VikkiVixen7188]

I had a full beard and moustache at one time, but I decided it had to go. I keep clean shaven now, I also shave my legs.:heehee:

[Emily Ann Brown]

Again, guilty as charged...in the past.

I kept a moustache to try to "masculine" up my fem face. Hated to shave. Tried to grow a beard once.....women can't grow beards, so that was a disaster. Had a Van Dyke for a bit....didn't like it although it was good to hide in. I had exactly enough hairs in the right places to make one.

Finally said "forget it" and started shaving the bit I have and enjoying being a woman every day.

The only hair on this girl is on the top of my head and I fully intend to keep it this way.

Started one at the end of the year ,had a small cut from an accident and just too lazy to shave around it, now that spring is almost upon us It will be coming off,around the end of april, had one for years when I was employed, worked out side and it kept the winds off , Charolette

[Dee Jay]

I've had a moustace since I was about 17, I'm in my 40s now.
I also rarely shave. Maybe every week at the best, quite often longer. So yes, I have a lot of facial hair...
As for passing... I have no intention of every trying to pass. I dress in female clothing because it makes me feel good, not because I want to look like, or indeed, be a woman.

That said, I do shave and epilate my legs. This is more to do with how they feel than how they look.
Arms, chest and back are also quite hairy.
My legs were never that hairy, so being bare doesn't really look that different to they used to.
My head hair is very long... I look like a typical rocker.

I have considered losing my facial hair, but this is more to do with the fact that I've had it for so many years.
I do look quite dated.
My wife is not keen on me shaving off the moustache, but she's not that keen an 10 days of stubble on my chin :)

So you can be a hairy crossdresser, but not if you are hoping to pass :)

[Dawn Marie]

I have a mustache, which I have had off an on since college, but I prefer not to have it. My wife knows I use to Cd and likes the mustache, but when I shave it off she is very suspicious, because she does not like my CDing. And I still do it, just that she doesn't know I do. And I do miss being able to fully doll up, with makeup and such,but I still wear the clothes. I'm hoping one day she will compromise, because I do miss going out dressed and having my nails and hair done.

[Sally24]

I had a full beard for most of the last 30 years, then 3 years ago shaved it off to give "this" a try. Almost immediately I knew I would never grow it back.......

I'm now doing electrolysis to make sure I don't have to work that hard to keep my skin soft and pretty.

[Ally K]

I usually have a beard, not a full one, though. Just what I call a "chin strap" lol.

I shave it a few times a year when I wanna dress fully and take pics. My g/f puts up with my dressing, but doesn't like me to shave.. boo. lol

Ally

[Nicole Erin]

I have had the moustache, the goti, the amish beard...
10 years ago I shaved and have been shaven every since.
I admit I am a bit lazy as I shave only 1 or 2 times a week.

But for an actual beard, that ain't happening again

[TSchapes]

Sometimes I'm just lazy, still want to dress and look female. So I pick out one of my masks and use that. Hey, it's faster than makeup. I've had all kinds of different beard and mustache combinations, but I don't grow them anymore. imho, I bet a lot of girls that are attracted to the female masks have facial hair.

[jenniferwhite]

I had a gotee in my late teens to mid 30's. being a closet cd facial hair wasnt a problem, seeing as I am mostly male......? lol just jen used to peek out now an then. From then untile now I used to grow a beard in winter, cold working in construction. Last couple yrs I cant work any more so its totally clean thank you very much! :love:

[Lori SC]

I had a moustache in the 70's and 80's. I did shave it off to improve my passability, although it was years before I actually ventured outside the house.

What's the point of the question though?

Hugz, Lori

[Laura B.]

I never could grow a decent beard or mustache. I wish I could. I always felt less manly around my coworkers who all have facial hair. Now it's academic since I had most of it removed with a laser and am now finishing it up with electrolysis.

[SandyR]

moustache since I started growing face hair (about 12). Then added some chin hair for 11 years. Shaved it all off over 3 years ago (including legs ).....love it no turning back.

SandyR

[Bravesoul]

Okay, I still have the moustash, but i don't think I will be going out anytime soon.

:bonk:

[trannie T]

I grew a moustache in my early 20's, then in my 30's grew a beard which I kept for about ten years. Because of work I shaved off the beard and shaved the moustache along with it. It took me a few more years to venture out en femme. Now I'm clean shaven, face, chest, stomach, legs, arms and I even shave my fingers.

[Jocelyn Quivers]

I had a mustache up til my early 20's. One I shaved it off there was no going back.

[KarenSusan]

I had a moustache in the '70s. In the mid '80s I got serious about CDing, so I got rid of it. Been clean shaven ever since.

[Marvina Martian]

I for one have never even had the slightest bit of a beard or mustache purposely, as I just despise facial hair! My wife tried for years to get me to grow a goatee but I would have none of it. Now I am mid way in my laser treatments and am so excited to be getting rid of it, finally!

[crusadergirl]

I never had a full beard but i could of, i just never was in to that look. As for a gotee i always liked having one i thought i looked better with it then without. I never liked shaving untill i became kirra acouple of years ago.
If it wasn't for the people on this site kirra won't of been born. I would of kept my gotee.

[Gemma Rhodes]

I'm very lucky in this department as I have very little body hair. I only have to shave my face twice a week and any hair that appears on my chest will quickly die of loneliness. Also I only need to shave my legs about once every six months. Maybe its something to do with my strong feminine side and I realise how lucky I am as I know some of you out there need to shave twice a day.

[Stormgirl]

I shave my face everyday and must maintain a general cleaniness about me.

[akaCathy]

I've worn a beard for almost 30 years. My wife, children and friends have never seen my face. Since I seriously began dressing, I have wanted to shave it off. My family is very against it. Since they don't know about Cathy, I'm reluctant to push it. I know it will go, sooner or later, so I bide my time.

Hugs,

Cathy

[Damiana]

Ive about every type of facial hairstyle possible. Handlebar moustache, pencil-thin moustache, goatee, soul patch.. etc.

But done with all that for this new part of my life.

[Daintre]

When I was still married, I was persuaded to grow a full beard, my then wife loved it but I just hated it, It was itchy and I think birds wanted to nest there. There was a big scene when I shaved it off, but I myself felt great.

[Kate Simmons]

Well, I just shaved off a 5 day growth. I looked like Papa Smurf and said:"screw this".:heehee:

[1950sclothes]

We all have facial hair. We're men. LOL

[Kathy Leigh]

I"m with Tracy,

I have a full beard. My wife, who I love dearly has never seen me without it and has asked me not to shave it off, so I don't.

For those times when I am alone and want to dress I use a female mask. It hides the beard and makes me feel more like a girl. I know it is a mask and no one would mistake it for a real face but when you look in the mirror it looks much better with a guy with a beard in a dress.

If you are afraid to post because you may be recognized or because you feel self concious about the way you look please think about a mask. It will help you feel better about yourself.

It would be great if we all could be hairless and wear makeup and more power to those who can. If you can't then consider a female mask.

[Melora]

I once had a goatee for about a half year.. I actually looked quite great with it too! The wife loved it... I do not grow it as I feel that it would interfere with this part of my life, and I just HATE the feel of facial hair.. Itchy & scratchy= Grr..
Tho the wife would like it to come back, she really knows the reasons why I do not.

[Dalece]

did have moustache and did have beard at one time. now i must be clean shaved work related and also for CD.

[Rachaelb64]

I had a goatee for about six months in the mid 90s, going through one my 'I'm giving up crossdressing for good periods'. Thought it might help me stop dressing, it dodn't.

Actual fact I shaved it off not because of my crossdressing, but because my daughter wouldn't come any where near me while I had the bread and tried a couple of times to pull it of my face, she was only two at the time btw ;)

[Raychel]

I had a beard for a while in the 80's, Did't like it all that much, it was tha real wirey red beard and was not real comfortable.

[Jamie Parks]

facial hair has always been a problem well hair in general usually I am so hairy my friends called me sasquatch, about 8 years ago I shaved my goatee never will grow it back, as far as my body goes in about 1999 I started shaving everything in the winter and let it grow the rest of the year(to keep questions from my friends down) but after 3 years of that I just keep shaving all year long when my friends asked if I shaved I just said ofcourse you would too if you had his much hair it seemed to shut them up. So I have been shaved fully for about 6 years now I love it

Jamie

[SweetCaroline]

I ALWAYS shave my face before dressing, even in private, I do however grow out my beard when I take breaks from dressing, which these days, isn't very long.

This is about as shaggy as I've gotten since I started going out dressed...

[Veronica99]

After looking at the 20 odd posts - I see that I'm the only person who still seems to have a beard. As you've guessed, I don't intend to pass (it would never work anyway - unless you're thinking Viking models around 800 AD?). To compensate though, I do shave my legs and arms...

[angelfire]

I always used to shave my face, but now I've growing out a bit of a beard for the past 2 months. I just kinda felt like it. I haven't really dressed in a while anyway.

Although, the beard is starting to get itchy, so I'll likely shave it sooner or later.

[TGMarla]

I have facial hair! But I shave it all off. :D

Hee hee! I kill me! Anyway, I wore a moustache for years. I was "the bearded lady" all my life (but with a moustache, not a beard). I shaved it off about five years ago, and I have not missed it one bit. My wife misses it, but I think she knows it's gone for good. Good riddance! Never again!
