Anyone else grow a beard?

[Spots]

Does anybdoy else hear mantain any kinda facial hair? Seems like most guys would rather hack it off then deal with growing, trimming and washing a beard. If you grow anything post up. Heres mine, full beard heading towards a big viking beard. I use bluebeard beard wash to clean it, and a 50/50 mix of beeswax and vaseline to wax it and keep it soft and keep it in place.

I grow my goatee out at least once a year. The last time I went 4-5 months and it was around 4 1/2inches long.

[Guest Kamikaze]

I do. Here's my beard.

[oldmustangjunkie]

In the winter, I grow a beard and long hair. When summer comes, I chop it all off.

Ive had one since I got out of the USMC in Jan. I trimmed it once but I really like the big full beard. The hair on the other hand, I shave my head about every two weeks. Im actually overdue. It'll be three weeks friday on the hair.

[Bigiron]

I've worn a beard for over 20 years. Never have liked shaving.

I keep my head shaved as well. In the last 15 years I've never gone more than 3-4 weeks without shaving it.

OK "HomeDawg" you ask for it...

I tried to grow a beard BEFORE I came down to your farm for your Primitive Skills class...my face went to "itch'n" like a bitch dog with mange! Had to shave bro! Seems like that happens everytime! No flea shampoo in the world helps!

I must gracefully bow out of this beard growing thingy!

I wish I could grow a full beard. It's sad how little I grow.

im only 20 so i cant grow a god beard yet, but when i can im going to go Full Leonidas!!!!!

I guess I got blessed with good "beard genes" Ive been able to grow a full beard since I was sixteen. And Dave sometimes you just gotta man up. I have heard a lot of people make that complaint though.

I could grow a full beard at 20. I just kept it as a goatee though. The more you shave with a razor, the thicker it will get, if its in your genes that is.

I keep a short, full beard and shaved head year-round. I take the guard of the clippers and cut it all the same length about every two weeks or so. Much longer than that and the beard starts itching like I have fleas. My beard hair is really curly and pokes my face when it gets longer.

Mine's more of a scruff. I can go for months without shaving and I'm little better than a 5 o'clock shadow. I'd love it if I could grow a really long beard when I'm a crusty, crazy old fart. I want to look like Saruman when I'm old. That's a cool beard!

Man I know the feeling......I tried for 3 weeks last time I did and it was not more than extreme 5 o clock shadow!!

[Guest bkelm18]

I've honestly never tried, but I'd like to sometime. It's just that transition when you go from a clean face through the dirty-hillbilly-too-lazy-to-shave-and-your-unshaven-face-looks-like-ass phase before you get to the full on man beard that stops me.

Could be it won't grow in that spot. I've got a spot on my neck that just won't grow. I used to think with time it would happen but as I get on to 30 I have come to grips that it just won't happen. Also have pseudofolliculitis which is the fancy way of saying razor rash so it's either growing out or cropped with clippers.

[Dolomite_supafly]

Not anymore, now it is a goatee at the most.

On my first trip overseas I had short hair and clean shaven but when dealing with the locals they didn't seem to acknowledge me. I spoke to a terp about it and he said grow a beard. I asked why. He said married men have beards and are respected while those that are clean shaven generally are not. So this is how I showed up for the next trip.

I carried that look for a while then said screw it because I actually hated looking like that. It did make dealing with locals easier though.

I have a gotee but no beard. I will have to check for pics

Been rocking a beard for the last few months. Beats the hell out of shaving every day.

[walton6467]

I've worn this for years. Not as epic as some of the others, but do I get points for the snow whiteness?

I would love to not have to shave daily, damn work policies. If I don't shave I get all grizzly with the facial hair. I have to shave daily against the grain to get a good shave and go through razors like crazy.

[Volzfan]

I had a full beard from 78-91. In 2001 I grew a goatee and still have it. No recent pictures though. You guys don't know how lucky you are!

[TMF]

I only grow mine when I'm away from the wife. She hates facial hair, but I hate shaving. After two months of growth I gotta start trimming it though or else it bothers me when I'm trying to sleep.

[Metalhead]

Currently rocking a beard atm. It's weird though, my hair is brown, but my beard is red.

Anyway, no beard thread is complete without Chris Costa and his beard!
