    You also need to get yourself some brown socks to go with your sandals, a Carradice saddlebag for your bike and a lifetime membership to the CTC.

    I grew a beard the other year and religiously shampooed it each morning.

    The reason I shaved it off after about four months is that I decided that it smelt of wet dog*. I have no idea if other beard wearers have / had the same issue but despite scrupulous hygiene it still seemed doggy.


    * I should point out that the rest of me doesn't smell of dog as far as I am aware.

    Wonder if Rapha will market beard wax later in the year?

    A full heavily waxed beard will act as a fairing and speed you up. Shame the UCI has banned them.

    A beard but "its the only hair I have on my head, im bald"

    "He's a beard and he's baldy, he's built upside down" as Billy Connelly described it.

    More too the point....

    Why do men shave?
    Every morning getting up and scraping metal across their faces.
    cutting themselves, shaving rash etc etc

    why not their underarms and their pubes, or their chests why their face?

    Why? Why?

    I use shampoo in the shower, and soap in the morning.

    because jibi in my experience there are several innate problems with beards

    1. they make you look at least 10 years older
    2. they are not low maintenance as you still have to trim and bugger about with them
    3. you are reminded for at least 4 hours after what you last ate, ok if it was choccie biscuit, not so if tuna sandwich
    4. they itch like buggery
    5. on hot days they make you hotter, but are warm on cold days
    6. they make your face spottier

    One wonders why jibi wears clothes, or bothers with money, or this crazy internet thing?
