DA_Carr:
Just curious how many of you have grown beards with the bald head.  How about showing them off?  Curious to see how you transition from bald head to beard.

Antimidas:
Working on the full beard for the winter.  I will try to take pictures to show it off.  I think it looks scraggly, but I have received positive comments from the women in the office. 

The trick is getting the inverted sideburns even.  Using a Mach 3 or Fusion, I line the edge of the blade up with the top of my ear until it hits it.  Keep it parallel to the ground and pull up against the grain.Since I am using my ear as a guide, it keeps it even on both side every time.  Then I just need to tidy up the stray hairs on the cheeks and cut the neck to the jawline.

Vash:
I've had a full mustache and beard since June or so. Plan on keeping it through the winter. One day i just decided to go from just a goatee, to the full beard look and instead of shaving my face, I did my usual headshave, shaved my neck (back and front) and trimmed my goatee down to stubble. Then just went on with my usual weekly shave routine, I just left out shaving my face.

Now I just comb the beard out and trim strays pretty much daily after my shower. I'm really diggin' the bald n' bearded thing. My profile pick is a couple of months old now, so I'll try to get a newer pic taken this weekend and post it.

D.A.L.U.I.:
After about a year of Sly, I started thinking about some facial hair--I had previously had two full beards, one in my twenties and one in my thirties, and a moustache in between.  All lasted about two years. 
Although I really like a full beard, I couldn't figure out how to end the beard and begin the shaved head around the ears.  I looked at a lot of beards on beards.org and finally decided initially on a goatee, a full goatee, not a highly carved design because I didn't have the density to support that. 
I started four times, each time shaving it off after three to four weeks.  Finally this past February I made a three month commitment.  During that time I decided to extend the goat.  Although I initially used color to mask the grey, I developed a skin reaction and decided to go "natural."  After about four months I started getting a lot of good comments and compliments and that continues to this day.  Like a lot of people, I'm vain enough to get a lift out of that. 
That's the history and why of my chin mitten.
