Title: growing out the Goatee
Post by: jaypksfo on January 05, 2012, 03:19:54 PM: So been thinking for awhile now of letting my goatee grow long on the bottom . . . I'm not sure how this would look on me or how long it will take . . . any thoughts/suggestions

On a different note, I wish I could get my head as smooth and shiny as your head. :)

Consider it a blessing. Based on your facial hair, I'm guessing your hair color is jet black and so is mine. But my head is not as shiny as yours, I'm using a regular sunblock cream SPF30. What product do you currently use?

Post by: jaypksfo on January 05, 2012, 05:36:15 PM: My hair is medium brown/gray. I dye my facial hair which always comes out darker. Right now I am using clean and clear lotion that I use on my face. Tried aloe today - not sure how I feel about that. I tend not to burn so I dont use sunscreen unless I'm going to be in the sun for hours (which in SF doesnt happen very often). Plus sun screen smells funny to me.

Post by: baldjoeg on January 06, 2012, 07:43:33 PM: You look great the way You are. I really like the goatee that you have. IT won't hurt to give it a try though. You can always trim it up again. Personally, I like keeping mine somewhat shorter and groomed.

Post by: D.A.L.U.I. on January 06, 2012, 07:47:18 PM: Has great promise, suggest you set a time, like three weeks and take the "pledge" no trimming until. Sly, it's twenty to thirty minutes to get there--a mature beard of any real length, that's going to take about 6-8 weeks at least, and don't forget all the hairs don't grow at the same rate so you will have a little ragged times until it all comes in at the length you want. Patience=nice face fur.

I think that suits you well. It looks very precise and sharp.
