Who has a full beard, or once had a full beard? Why did you grow it, or get rid of it? Any tips or advice?
I'm about 3 weeks into growing one out and curious who else has tried it before. Isn't it odd that the majority of men remove something that nature puts there, and only a small minority let it do its thing?
-
i had as full beard as i can get, but my growth is very akin to that of typical mestizo/injun, similar to che guevara
meaning
no matter how long i grow it, it just looks like a growing pile of pubes
im lazy, so ill usually let it all grow for a while, especially since it grows so slowly
-
I had one for probably six years. I hate shaving and had always wanted to grow one so I did. I got rid of it just for a change and have not grown one back since. I have gotten close but the intermediate stage when it's really short irritates me greatly and I usually break down and shave then
-
Never grew a beard or a mustache. But here's a picture of Santa enjoying his summer vacation.

I quite like beards on men :2thumbsup:
-
^^^ Ho Ho Hooooo!
I've had one since the year 2000, and just get it trimmed now and then. Just decided to give up shaving back then and grew it. Now half of it is grey, which I don't give a shit about. I doubt I'll grow a Ned Kelly one though.
-
I went over three months during the Boston Bruins Stanley Cup run without shaving. Hocket tradition. It got huge and i looked like the real Ted K. It was itchy between 2-4 wreks, but then it was cool again. Actually, sinced I trimmed it off and went a few days with the Earl Hickey/70s Porn Star look i haven't trmmef again. It is prettu slow for me and now I am conditioned I guess. For the record, I am NEVER cleanly shaven. I'll post a pic at various stages for fun when I get home or this weekend.

me too actually. beards on young/normal guys is more typical for the middle east. norwegians fanatically shave smooth every day, and i find it odd that beards are as rare as they are.
just as curiously, the only place i find beards on most norwegians in a group, is when i see them in war docus from afghanistan. i notice american troops in afghanistan are often clean shaven, so its something they seem to take very seriously :I norwegian troops seem to go more :viking:

The story is that in the middle east, if you have a beard you are less likely to be fucked with. And I mean literally. Middle Eastern men see is as unmanly to go clean shaven, so anyone without a beard or facial hair would be considered fair game. So if in the middle east, make sure you have one, and wear one of those Arab headdress thingies. The fuckers will leave you alone.

they don't suit me

They say 'surrender is not in our creed'.
I don't think camouflage is either.
-
I'm a few days into one again. My beard growth is a typical Finn's, however, so it's neither fast nor thick, and these days it's grey and white.
-
Why no! I don't have a beard at all!

You obviously don't understand the meaning of the term "jarhead"
None of these troops are jarheads.
-
^ Think ZEGH means it quite 'literally'. I.e. jar upside down, on the head, the ring determines the 'cut-line' of the hair. Not sure.. plus I don't know the not-literal meaning though.

Me, I have never had a beard older than p/m a week, I think. I'm cool with others having one but it's not my thing. Well, I have long (messy) hair and that in combination with a somewhat longer beard.. makes me look like jesus or something.. or a bum, probably.
Due to laziness I sometimes have a 2/3 days beard but that's it. Oh, did have a goatee on the chin earlier or some hairdo thingie under my underlip but never with hair above my upper lip. That's a def. no-no for me.
Blah.

im refering to the haircut, not them being marines per se.

My husband has had a beard since he was in graduate school. His beard was so black and grew so quickly that he had to shave at least twice a day to appear to be even somewhat clean shaven, so he decided to stop.

those i mean are more like, an inch wide strip of beard, coming down at an angle, from his ear - across the cheek
like a set of handles :D
our sarge had those :D

My facial hair is too scrappy to look good, and for some reason the hair on my chin is platinum blonde, while the hair elsewhere on my face is brown.

Weird!!
I suppose growing a goatee is out of the question.
It's also weird that thanks to the Prof, whenever I hear the word 'goatee', I think of 'goatse'.
-
Hmm, I've worn some sort of facial hair for as long as I could grow it, though I change the style often. I like the chinstrap, though I wear mine a bit thinner than the one in the picture. It is a pain to keep even though, I've ended up clean shaven before from repeated attempts to even out the sides. It helped when I switched to an old school safety razor, the kind that takes those super thin double edged blades and has a slight curve to it. It's much more precise than a modern razor, and the blades cost pennies so I can always keep a fresh one in it instead of trying to squeeze as many shaves as possible out of an expensive Mach3 or Quattro cartridge.

If by "platinum blonde" you mean white, I have a lot of that as well. :zoinks:

Ah, yes, I'm "platinum blonde" too. :zoinks:

Depends if Candyfloss minds. She might prefer the tickle of a beard. :evillaugh:

Beards make men's faces look older and fuller, also a bit more imposing. Depends on if that's what you're going for.

Prince Albert has horrendous acne scars, even though he's 69. He wore a beard for several years to hide some of the scars. Now he doesn't care.
I've often wondered if the PR would go for guys with beards. Her dad had one, the obstetrician had one and her pediatrician had one as well as both grandfathers. So far she's only attracted to vapid boy band types.
-
Need to shave off mine. Can't have it when I'm working.

I think it's blonde rather than white; I started out blonde as a kid and grew darker when I was 4, the hair on my chin transitions from blonde to light brown to dark brown, and it's been that colour since it started growing during my teens.

It's frowned upon but it's not forbidden. It's just that I usually look like a bum when I have a beard.

Playing their Victrolas on full volume while having horse and cart drag races would be enough to drive anyone nuts. Yes, those vapid boy barbershop quartets have alot to answer for.

That's kind of what I am shooting for
-
A week of no shaving so far perhaps I will begin a new one, week three is where it begins to bug me but after about eight I will be fine. As far as work it does interfere with wearing a respirator some but I don't work with really bad stuff where it makes that much of a difference
Trig the bread looks good on you grow it back :thumbup:
-
Trig's beard was similar to mine, except mine has more grey.
-
Mine would have a lot more grey than Trig's. A wide stripe down each side and another stripe down the middle.
-
You guys :facepalm2:.
That's not gray/grey in your beards. It's silver. You've got to learn to accentuate the positive.
-
Having a beard would be cool, but I wonder why I'm still not able to grow one now. Just some strange neck stubble. :dunno:

I started going grey in my early 20s...a gift from my Mum. It used to suck, but now it makes me think of her as a little part of her is with me (in my DNA).

I cut myself shaving this morning, with my electric shaver. I tend to hurry when I'm shaving since it's a pain in the ass and I want to get it over with so that I can do other things, and my electric shaver is a bit aggressive and cuts the skin if I press too hard.
-
I hate shaving. Always have.
Problem one is that whenever I grow a beard I grow really thich around the lips and chin and sparely and randomly in degrees of thickness around the cheeks and it looks bad. So goatees work fine with me. A week and I have a decent enough goatee. Then come problem number two. I grow a mo as part of a goatee and invariably get a cold or hayfever and end up snotting into my mo for a couple of weeks before i say "Oh fuck this shit off my lip" and i shave it all off in disgust.

-
I hate shaving too. I'd let it grow indefinitely if it looked better and if it didn't itch so much after a while.
-
I used to cut myself with electric shavers too. Very sensitive skin and can't do razor blades at all. Then I started using hair trimmers and just maintaing a very short stubble, which is what I have now. Much easier on my skin although they too sometimes get stuck on the skin around my adam's apple and I bleed.
-
I can't stand electric shavers. Looks like I have the plague, every time after shaving.
-
I hate shaving but then I hate hair on my face altogether , I shave nearly every day (aim to shave every day anyway) because it irritates me , leaves me with some horrible marks though.
I intend to have laser hair removal surgery on it at some point in the future.
No need to re-iterate my hatred of my own facial hair I think. :zoinks:

There's something funny in there between cutting yourself shaving and it being a pain in the ass.

Picture from moments ago and no beard. Much better and younger looking. Also a rare treat as I don't have my sunglasses or hat on. Only people I sleep with get to see that!!!

Saw a guest viewing this and reminded me to update. I got fed up and shaved it off 2 weeks ago. Kept triggering sensory stuff, and I don't do change well.

Mine seems faster also. Still have mine it can be annoying but I am getting used to it and winter is coming.

Facial hair only seems to grow on my neck and on my sideburns. And sparsely.

American troops keep themselves clean shaven to ensure a good seal when wearing a gasmask.

Alexander the great first made shaving popular by ordering his troops shave to avoid beard grabbing in combat.

My older brother is 41 and cant grow a beard. He is my half-brother, and the other part of him is mostly native american. He says that is why but I think he is just a pussy.

The last beard I had was 1983. Once I shaved that off I never wanted another. The last time I had a mustache was 1997.

It's better than shaving in the winter then being out in the freezing cold all day it's very hard on the skin.
