Title: It pays off!
Post by: Paul the Headblader on April 23, 2012, 12:59:39 PM
So, I'm 20 ( too young to grow a beard...), so I shaved it for like  months daily in order for it to ....grow.
Now, after one and a half month of growth, it finnaly is visible. Not that visible, but people started to see it's there.
My mom hates it, but I've told her I don't really care :)
Hope I'll be able to share a pic within the comming days.

A good beard takes time my friend, mines takes about 3 months to completely fill in. Look forward to seeing the result!

I was about 25 when I first tried to grow a beard. It took 2 months to look reasonable. 

Now at nearly 60, it grows in faster than at 20 something. Yes, it takes awhile.

Beards are the deal.

I have not been without some kind of facial hair since I was like 13 lol I usually wear it at a #2 buzz cut and shave my neck.

I have been growing to current crop out for about two weeks now and it's looking pretty good, have a other few days off work so I might keep it long.

I agree...I grow these nice beards for five or six weeks and then have to shave them off for weekend drill with the military....Oh the pain, five or six weeks worth of work down the drain!

I hear you.

I love by sly on top, but if I shave my face I feel naked!

Definitely, it makes me feel like a giant baby. No offense to the mr cleans out there, you guys look great, it's just when I see myself with no beard.

I'm taking my first endeavour into a beard/facial hair and must admit I'm torn!! For some reason I have a bit of a red beard!! Not sure how as I'm not a red head by nature but it's becoming a bit of a put off lol.

Paul what are you doing on that pic man haha

Hey Paul, you said you shaved your beard to make it grow????  Shaving does not affect the growth in any way. Your genetics will determine if you can grow one so save on the razor and good luck.

I started growing my beard 3 weeks ago. As you can see in my avatar (with a 2 week beard), it's quite dense on the chinstrap line and in my neck (yes, maybe I should grow out my neck beard, too). I'm stall waiting for the cheeks and mustache to fill in some more. But overall, I like what I already have and people have been complimenting me on my 'red beard'. You can't see it in the picture because of the flash, but it's a copper red bear mixed with brown and blonde.

Last night me and my friend were laughing I should grow it out to a Jafar-beard (Jafar from the Disney Aladdin movies). And so it started as a joke, and now I'm going to see how long I can hold on ;)

Kdusk, you can play around with different styles of beard because you have an awesome shaved dome.

Paul, you are having fun in your pic, where is this taken?

Mangosink you are an inspiration to us all, I haven't managed to stick with a styled beard yet, always leave it full

I'm taking my first endeavour into a beard/facial hair and must admit I'm torn!! For some reason I have a bit of a red beard!! Not sure how as I'm not a red head by nature but it's becoming a bit of a put off lol.

I have brown hair. My mother wanted a redhead like her. Well, she got her wish kinda. When I grow a beard or mustache it has a lot of red in it. She has to tell people that story when she introduces me to people and I have the beard or mustache - and I'm 44. 

Here's a tip. Mothers will always embarrass you even if your 65 - you'll still be their little boy. I suggest getting the therapy out of the way early so you can deal with it when it happens to you.  ;D
