Last night I buzzed it all down with a #2 guard!

He was the bassist for the opening band, and was even rocking the sly look. I don't know about you other guys out there, but a lot of my conversations with new people seem to be instigated by a conversation about my beard, or beards in general.The same thing happens to me too. They are like magnets! Have you had strangers take your picture yet? Are you sick of the "I had a beard but when my girlfriend/wife/employer ordered me to shave I handed them my testicles and obeyed?" comments from other guys? I swear every time I go out with my beard loose I get at least one stranger coming up with a variation of that story.

Especially seeing I haven't really found my "too long" point yet. I've been debating that for months too. We could easily cut off a few without really losing much length and it would get rid of the wispy-ness at the ends, but I don't want to lose any length because I want to see how long it will get. Also, since most of my ends are cut off ends I know that I am not near terminal length yet. If you cut them off then you basically lose that guide as they will all be cut off. I'm also afraid that if I allow myself to trim off the ends then that will make it easier for me to cut the entire thing off.

Ya hear me!It's not really the length that's the issue its that the length gets wispy and is even a little bit of a pain to control even when tied up. Basically when you allow a region of hair to grow uncut you have some that grow a lot faster than the others and they make the length wispy. If you cut off the tips you basically allow the bulk of the hair mass to catch up so that results in a more-consistent end. Of course the downside to this is that the total length remains shorter until enough slow pokes catch up, and that's the reason I haven't done it yet. I keep debating it, but I think I'm going to stay hands-off on the length.

I will probably keep it like this for a while (maybe a little longer)... and then grow it back out some more.
<------------------ Day 16 and still haven't trimmed it yet. Over halfway to the 30-day mark and the longer goal of 3 months.
Grow for it
To all my bearded brothers, thanks for the inspiration. I started a goat about three weeks ago. So far I haven't touched it. My goal--one year. I've never had one for longer than a month. I get fustrated with the patchiness and give up. Hope all of you will give me support in this endeavor. Also started working out at the gym with a personal trainer. I'm trying to bulk up. I'm tired of the tube shaped body with no strenth. The beard is coming in faster than in the past. The trainer said it was the protein supplements he suggested.So wish me luck.
