Well men, it's almost that time so I thought I'd do a PSA and say to toss your razors until the premiere. I don't know about you, but my stubble may look SA in person, but the photos always look like I need to wash my face. Just thought I'd mention if for the folks that need extra time for facial hair to sprout.
Ladies, feel free to continue using your razors.

Two days for me for SA.
Any longer than that and I start itching.
But these days, well, the SA look seems to have some gray/silver coloring in there that wasn't around a few years ago. I guess that was bound to happen sooner or later.
The other day, my girlfriend told me I looked "scruffy".
I replied, "Who's scruffy lookin'?"

The grey is my problem too. Once my beard gets to the length it looks right, the grey starts to shine. I look like a bloody miniature schnauser!Indiana MarkVII wrote:I've kept a short beard ever since 1981, shaving it completely off only once since that time. But that clean shaven look didn't last very long. Now I can just trim it back to stubble length, and at my age, the gray and silver highlights don't need any screen magic.
I have to trim it again to get the dark color to show up for photos and pray that it doesn't turn grey (or red). I must be more "Mutt" than Indy!

Faking a beard stubble
Try a standard make-up trick: Get some dark brown or use multiple shades or brown and black if you desire, and a stiple sponge available from a make up store or costume store. They are also available via online stores, too, but I don't have a specific link for you.

So what do we do if we can barely sprout a full set of facial hair? Any makeup techniques out there for stubble?
Look for Ben Nye products, like a CS-9 Extra Dark Creme Shadow and a small very airy semi-stiff sponge. Dap it very lightly, as it's easier to add more, but too messy if you try to take some off before your night is through. If you go to a costume store that carries Ben Nye products, tell them what you are looking for and they'll set you up. The creme runs about $4.00 for a small 0.25 oz half dollar size container and the sponge shouldn't be more than a buck or two. Get a spray sealer so the makeup doesn't run or smear when you accidentally touch your face (and you will).

Tomorrow is my last shaving day for a SA look Thursday night!
BTW, safety razors were quite old in the 30’s!

Yeah, I went to the source of all knowledge too when I finished my post.....So, I reckon Indy would've used a safety razor looking at the dates...unless of course he just wanted to use a straight...which who knows he was a dangerous guy....lolFink wrote:Tomorrow is my last shaving day for a SA look Thursday night!

I can see it now...
How soon after the midnight showing will the posts appear asking how to get mascara stains off of a leather jacket collar?

I wouldn't ask your wife or girlfriend about that, they'll get suspicious.Rambler wrote:How soon after the midnight showing will the posts appear asking how to get mascara stains off of a leather jacket collar?
