Haha. In my early days of walking from Le Puy, while the Aubrac Plateau still loomed ahead of me, I kept coming across this bearded guy who I thought looked like a 'ghastly old prophet'. I decided indeed that he must be a "Proper Pilgrim", as opposed to myself, a very unsure 'wannabe'. I was quite surprised then to find him using a mobile phone, as that seemed far too modern for a Proper Pilgrim. I was even more surprised to realise that he had summoned vehicular assistance, and was giving up on the enterprise as being far too difficult in the cold wet conditions we were enduring. So I guess you can't judge every prophet/pilgrim by his beard!Rebekah Scott said:and the hardcore scraggly runaway facial hair (also known as the "ghastly old prophet").
Ha ha! A lack of beards?! On the Camino?!FrancesK said:I was dissapointed by the lack of beards on the camino! Grow your beards blokes
All these are preferable to the clean-shaven schmuck who leaves the sink coated with whiskers and trimmings...

Won't it grow so slowly you will get used to it? But if you feel your feet sinking into the path because of the weight of the beard you can always buy a razor!
Buen Camino
Yes, it does! You'll get shaggy towards the end of the Way, but a beard will protect your skin from the sun and you'll have to worry less about acne breakouts. Plus, you'll like like a hardcore peregrino! :wink:
I hit a great barber shop a couple days outside of Santiago and got the full treatment (hair cut, beard trim, and straight razor sculpt on my neck) for about nine Euros. Just wish I'd remembered to tell him to shave with the grain, but other than that it was a great experience... :mrgreen:

There's nothing like having to bathe in your helmet when you're in the field. Hooah!I think I am in for a hard time.. I spent many years shaving in the military, with or without water. On a tank it was about the only part of me that was clean, so the thought of not shaving well that just is a tough idea for me. So I will ask those of you who go hairy to understand.

So once I finish my Camino how do I find a barber who does beards? How did you find the one you went to? Do they still have those traditional white and red barber poles outside their windows?

Given the prevailing headwinds on the meseta you should shave your head or wear a bathing cap to reduce drag.I'm thinking of growing a Camino beard which should save on the hassle of shaving and the need to bring a razor. However, it's just struck me that the beard will weigh something by the eighth week. Advice please,

My son and I shaved head (bald) and face....and let it grow. (Sunblock and a hat for protection)I'm thinking of growing a Camino beard which should save on the hassle of shaving and the need to bring a razor.
