Show us your beard!

[Beardman]

Another brother with a massive beard, that is what I like to see!   

You most certainly not cut it haha, I think you might even peg me in length too!

@ Jules, Very true on all counts mate, hoping to sink a couple of frothies over the weekend!

@Nate, a little trim to keep it in line is never a bad thing. I don't think I will be doing a major hedging any time soon, I've gone mine growing pretty much how I want it for now.

Beardman, I think it would be a good thing for me at this point. It's getting wild and untamed  .


A most excellent beard, HEAD. Very impressive!  

[Mr Jules]

Having a major 'I love my beard' moment. It's full bodied, lush and deep of character. It's taken 4 months of growing and periodic visits to the barber for a shape and trim. Really wish I'd grown a beard years ago, but didn't think it was possible or suitable. But late than never.

Bit curious to know what I would have looked like with hair and beard. But will only ever know the beard and bald look.

Might grow it some more....

Might grow it some more....

Sounds like a plan to me.

Pleased the way the beard is holding shape.

It's the slow growing process and little shaping and trimming here and there. And give it time, plenty of time, and you get a nice rewarding characterful beard on your face. Worth all the effort.

About 8 months of growth here. Not sure just how far I'll let it go.

Getting beard envy!! I try and grow mine out but then trim it back after a few months as I feel it looks messy! I also tend to find my beard gets a direction two it and kinda flows towards my righthand side

Bear in mind that the little one is gonna love to play with that!

Cut mine down with a 1-guard today....was tired of the "chinstrap" and wanted to go wider.....it will be worth it, my goal is to have a thicker, wider beard by my sister's wedding on February 23rd....there will be other sly bearded guys in the wedding and I want to fit right in.....

[Beardman]

@MrJules: Your beard is coming along nicely  As long as you are feeling like it can grow longer let it I am kind of scared at how far I am willing to take mine...

@Vash: That is an awesome looking beard man, there is just something I like about a good ginger beard... It always reminds me of a Scottish guy or a lumberjack rofl

Mine almost splits into 2 even parts sometimes... I like it 

@Harry: I'm sure by February you will have an awesome beard for the wedding, you have plenty of time to train and tame it

Thanks Beardman. Think I've reached the limit of how far I want to grow it. Latest pic shows a recent visit to the barber. I've lost the chops, though there was not much there anyway !

[Beardman]

I really like the new look mate. I don't think I've seen a beard quite like that before  I always say that eventually you will find the length that you like best and you are proof of that, I'm still working on my ideal length haha.

Thanks Beardman. It's taken quite a few months to reach an idea look and length.

Have you considered going to the barbers ? He might be happy to shape your beard and advise.

Oh, just realised that I have been bald for 8 months as of yesterday (6 Oct 2012). Very smooth shave this morning and plenty of shine.

[Beardman]

I have considered the idea, and I'm sure I'll get there one day, hopefully in the not so distant future! 8 months, that's awesome mate, I just ticked over my 4 months on the 2nd

I've decided to turn mine into a long goatee with short beard surrounding it.  I just started the beard about 4 weeks ago and plan to let that part go another 2-4 weeks and then maintain that part at whatever the length ends up being.




I was at a bar tonight that was holding a Halloween night and I did not dress up, but there was another guy there who had a simple costume that was basically me.  Although he was wearing a hat with a fake ponytail he had a fake long goatee on his chin and the funny thing was that the fake goatee was shorter than mine.   

The goat really soaks up cigarette odor too and anytime I'm in a place like this bar with cigarette smoke it ends up smelling like an ashtray until I take a shower.   Maybe it's because it's right under my nose but I think it soaks up odor more than my clothing does.   I don't think I could tolerate this goatee if I was an actual smoker!
