Bald and Bearded.....

Here's the oldest photo in my iPhoto library of me from 1996. You can see that the gray was setting in even then...

So you were what, about 38?  That's pretty much when it starts from what I can tell. 

In a way, its kind of like MPB -- a long, drawn out process.  The end result isn't too bad but the transition can be awkward.

Good math -- I had just turned 39.

I will give it ago, because I actually love having a beard, just get a little insecure. I think I will have the, 'don't give a sh*t' attitude from now on. Will keep updated on how I end up!

Give it a go  - -
A bald head and beard complement each other  - -They belong together  - -
I was going to grow mine for a few weeks and a year later I still have my beard  - - I  love it  - -It is part of me now  - like    my BALD head  - -
-You will enjoy having a beard - - -remember you can always cut it off if you don't like it  - -It will GROW on you .

OK, so latest pic is about a month in. I really like how it looks.....don't really want to trim it as yet..!

Looking good, but I would raise the neckline just a little.

Thanks Razor X....I was thinking it needed something sorted there

That beard is coming along nicely.

Might be time to visit a barber and ask for a shape and trim.

Then you can decide if you want more length on the chin. Ask the barber.

f77, looks great! I agree with Razor X. I also think you should raise the neckline a tad. Your beard seems to grow in faster than most... Perhaps it's a superbeard... or maybe it's just my warped perception.


Jules, I must say your beard is looking awesome! Great job, amigo! You've come a long way.

Ditto on that.  I'm jealous!

Thanks natedawg....not sure if it is a superbeard..it would be good though....perhaps I will have to go for a few more months to find out!?.....

Thanks for the positve comments and advice...

[Mr Jules]

Natedawg and Razor X... Thanks for the beard comments.

Before April this year, had always been clean shaving on the face. This is my first beard. So thanks for the advice on growing a beard.

Visiting the barber soon enough. Just the smallest of trims on the sides, 'tache and neckline. But more length on the chin.
