I can't ever recall seeing anyone with "designer stubble" who wasn't a so-called "celebrity". Reply to this message | Report message

Because if you're not a celebrity, it's just "being unshaven". Reply to this message | Report message

I've got a pal who's been known to sport it. Not a celebrity, although he does bear a passing resemblance to Damon Hill. Reply to this message | Report message

You can now buy an electric razor in France designed specifically for creating and maintaining 'designer stubble'. It (the stubble) is very popular over here, even for TV newsreaders and the like, let alone tax office clerks, etc, etc. Scruffy blighters. Says the man with the No6 beard.

It's creeping into my corporate world too. Some people can sort of carry it off but most look as if they've just neglected to shave. I blame that paragon of corporate excellence and guide to business practice The Apprentice. Reply to this message | Report message

One really needs the correct type of facial hair to grow proper stubble. Patchy or whispy is a no-no. Reply to this message | Report message

I dont so much mind designer stubble but I have often found it odd the lengths people go to in order to style their facial hair, yet still look like a plonker. Those people who have little bits here and there, I always wanna make some comment about Specsavers. Reply to this message | Report message

London Bob down the "Local" wears "Stubble" all the time (Grey)! - we tease him that he shaves with his hair clippers on No1 - seems to suit him really though without it looking scruffy, as it would on most folk. Reply to this message | Report message

IMO, "designer" stubble is the outward sign of an inward scruffy oik. Reply to this message | Report message       1

Oh dear, I may have to reconsider; if Roger disapproves, it can't be all bad. Reply to this message | Report message

I don't shave often because being a scruffy oik I just can't be bothered. The grey stubble doesn't make me look better but nor does it make me look markedly worse. Lost any semblance of decent looks years ago. A neat, tidy, dapper, scrubbed appearance and a heady reek of aftershave don't convince me though. These things very often mask inward vacuity and social insecurity, if not actual blackness of soul. However for many people they are just required for work. Poor sods.

Bald heads, now there's a thing I don't understand. Young blokes who surely can't be bald choosing to keep it shiny. Often goes with designer stubble. I keep my hair short these days and apart from a bit of a widow's peak developing it seems to be staying in, Not sure I'd be bald by choice though. Reply to this message | Report message

Actually quite few men start going bald in their twenties. Total baldness is considered more cool than a receding hairline. Reply to this message | Report message

My younger brother has been a "Bowling-ball" since 18! - he started with Galloping Alopecia, and being totally bald is definitely better than going around looking like a Mangy, tuffty alley cat. Reply to this message | Report message
