The Secret Life of Men with Facial Hair

When I first saw this video all I could think about was the number of men who actually 'play' like this in the bathroom. Tell me true, gentlemen, how many of you have done this in some form (like with shaving cream, as you are shaving, etc)?

By the way, you can buy a kit that allows you to see how various facial hair types would look. I couldn't find the one I once saw online, but I did find a site that sells various fake facial hair sets for those who want to play. If I find the original site I was thinking of, I will update this post with a link to it.

Facial Hair Equates Deceptive Body Fat Results

I just read an interesting study published in May 2001 regarding the effect of air displacement in scalp and facial hair on body fat estimations. According to the results, that hair on your head and on your face can make your body fat results come in slightly less than what they actually are.

Read the PDF version of the study HERE

I have heard some people say that hair (on the head and on the face) makes a man look thinner, and I have heard others say they think it makes a man look heavier.

What do YOU think? Does facial hair make a man look thinner or heavier?
