Show us your beard!

[Mr Jules]

you are doing a great job of keeping it well groomed.

Baldjoeg,

Grooming is key to a good looking beard, isn't it ? Comb mine several times a day.

And (don't tell anyone), I shampoo and condition it, too. Goes all soft afterwards.

You big sook!

I've decided 2014 is the year if no shave for me. I grew a beard last year & always thought my wife didn't like it. SHE suggested I do it again. I don't have to be asked twice. (I want it BIG but I know she likes it trimmed. Too bad. She opened this can of worms...)
And Mr Jules, the moment I can't see skin through the beard, out comes the shampoo, conditioner & even a treatment; whatever I can steal from the wife without her knowing.

Know exactly you mean, Raulski

I do something similarly sneaky !

Got bored and tried brushing my mustache into a handlebar. Excuse the weird expression. I was preparing to work an overnight shift after an arduous day shift and little rest in between.

I like it. It adds character.

Looks good, imaginary.

Well duck season is over and I'm trying to decide if I should keep the beard or not. I normally go back to a goatee but I'm going back and forth on this one.

Last mornings hunt. I'm the tall one on the right.

You're the dog!!!?? lol

Country, that's a pretty impressive beard....If I had that kind of coverage I'd keep it....BTW, that's a nice collection of ducks for you and your crew...But in the end, if you go with the goatee, I'm sure it would look good, also.

[Cave Dweller]

Very impressive, Country.

Makes me miss mine.

Imaginary, your beard looks great with the longer lenght.  What are your plans from here?

Country, I would vote for you to keep the full beard.

I guess you guys already know I am partial to full beards.

As I approach one year for my beard in Februray 2014, I need some help in deciding what to do next.  My thoughts are to take the beard down to the 2 to 3 inch level, leave the handlebar intact except to trim the tips to make them even and more manageable.  The tips are really too long and thin to style into a handlebar without a lot of effort.  I think my beard looked better at the shorter length and it also is looking quite thin and stringy at the ends.  Any feedback appreciated.

[Sir Harry]

Slybeard, I remember you having a nice beard, however, is there a way you could post a pic of how it looks now? It doesn't necessarily have to be a full head shot, but we can offer better opinions. In the end, if you want to go shorter, go for it!

[imaginary]

Slybeard, I have no plans yet. I wanted to experiment with length, but not go too crazy. Curiously, I have received compliments for the length in church. I guess not everyone knows how to dress a bald/beard combo with a suit well.

Had trouble posting photos earlier today.  First is my current photo (sorry about the stare), and the others are close to what I may trim down to:
