In my job, no shave = no fly and I plan on heading to Spokane, WA for Thanksgiving to visit with my 95 year old Dad.

No shave November conveniently coincides with cool weather deer hunting.

And hockey season. I'll stick with my 40 year old 'stache.

P.S. - yes, I was born with it! Edited November 4, 2013 by enfield

I started a little early in October but I'm gonna try to make it through the winter without shaving anything other than the neck. I have no issues with growth but I just can't seem to make it longer than a month or two without the wife talking me into shaving. I'm determined this time though (just like all the other times haha).

I have had a beard since 1974 and got back home from service. Sometimes I take it down short in summer but have never removed it completely. I have watched it go from jet black to silver gray over the years and now it is almost white so I have been letting it grow now with winter coming on....

Starting up another ZZ Top?

Yeah, I hacked most of mine off again a few weeks ago so I wouldn't get fired for looking like a hobo by the end of the month.

I am jealous of all you beard growers. I went straight from military to LE, so during vacations is the only opportunity I've ever had for one. I'm sprouting the 'stache, though. All I can do for now... Edited November 4, 2013 by CCPT

I've mostly had some sort of beard since 74.

One time after my wife and I had been together about 3 years I shaved it off. She laughed at me for 2 weeks.

So whats the deal with LE only being allowed to grow a mustache? Anyone know when or how that came about? I guess they do look neat and all but a beard can be groomed to look just as neat.

No shave November? How about just "No shave"...get on my level lol. I can't shave, irritates the hell out of my skin. Electrics leave a red rash for about 2 days, wet and dry. Tried razors of all different types...except straight, they scare the heck outta me. But they leave the rash plus ingrown hairs. Shaving creams, gels, powders and none all mess me up. Shaving with the grain, against it and even across it. My skin is just a b**** lol.

I keep her trimmed up nice in the summer with just scissors and clippers but come winter I just let it go.

+1 to keeping warm while deer hunting

I have always assumed it came from the original paramilitary style grooming standards.

I assume it's the same reason as the military....so your gas mask can seal to your face if you have to use it. Other than that, I have no clue.

Bwahaha. Love it. I keep a beard 365. I usually keep it trimmed really short though. My wife calls me a jihadist if I let it grow out. I may try to let it go this month though.

This guy is good to go.

:stunned:

[Chucktshoes]

That is a manly beard.

[Motasyco]

I didn't know there was a schedule to follow.  I guess I started a week early.

[Pain103]

I'm going for the good ole Tom Selleck mustache. Maybe I should get a hawaiian shirt and some aviators.

I keep a beard 365. In the winter it tends to get a little gnarly and when friends and family start reffering to it as a terrorist beard I know its time to trim!

That's how my wife describes it too. She likes it trimmed really short.

[GlockSpock]

Well, I made it until yesterday. WooHoo!
