I'm not much for bow ties but as you can compare to my avatar photo, I've said goodbye to the naked cheeks :D

Thanks Cosmic. The band fell off and got lost somewhere, so I cut an old leather belt to fit to take it's place. Has some spikes on the front of the crown, and you can't see it but there's a secret service pin in the top right of the crown too.... don't ask me how I got that :mrgreen:
Haven't word a tie in forty plus year. As a matter of personal choice I do not have a full beard and keep what I have properly clipped and defined. So, yes, I do shave. The avatar says it all.
I'd love to grow my beard out, but the ever present possibility of having to don an SCBA means shaving daily. Perhaps when my interior firefighting days are over. I avoid ties as much as possible, but there are days I need to wear one.
Normally, my beard is around 1/2" - 3/4", but this year I am going full Santa. But I still shave my neck almost every day.
My wife enjoys the tie with jeans look, so that shows up often. Work does not require ties. I just counted and I am down to 60 ties. I had over 100 after I inherited all my Dad's ties.
Zero bow ties.

I don't currently have facial hair, which I've explained elsewhere, however I do have a dozen or so bow ties I enjoy wearing from time to time. Granted, ties look pretty over-dressed most places these days, so I have to decide to look out of place or be attending some event that permits them. I remember situations when no-tie invited scorn. So I'll wear the bow ties for guys who don't, and you guys can wear the facial hair. Community effort.
When I did have facial hair, I found it required almost as much time as shaving to keep it looking good, at least in my case. A smoking buddy hasn't shaved in years.
brad looks like a man who just had a very successful cane harvest.

I have a beard at all times and like to wear a bow tie during the Christmas Season. Much prefer the the ones you actually tie to the clip ons.
