Are all machinists bearded?
Here is what wifey asked me after removing a fancy aluminum "pigtail" hiding inside my beard (now far longer than my profile photo).
If you have a beard, which method do you use to prevent it to become a chip tray?

I don't try, the main purpose of my beard is to be a chip filter to prevent my collar from becoming clogged....

I just put a couple of rubber bands on it, and tuck it into my tee shirt collar.

My beard goes to mid chest

If chips get in mine, it is time to trim it.

I'd rather have a hot chip stuck in my beard than stuck to my face.

I have a beard, but I keep it trimmed to 3/8" (10mm) once a week.

I ride my motorcycle home. Most everything gets blown out along the way though I might pick up an extra bug or two.

All the machinist's I know (can I know myself, and call myself a machinist?)) don't have beards.

Yea, what he said. Much rather have it stuck to parts with no nerves.

Cannot help you with this one as I do not have a beard.

In my case it is called 'too lazy to shave'.
