Post by: TheSlyBear on October 06, 2012, 05:10:20 PM: I disagree -- I think a big wide beard looks fantastic.

I'd say let it grow out and see if you like it. It can always be trimmed back if you find it's not to your liking.

Post by: Beardman on October 06, 2012, 07:35:16 PM: I feel I am a little biased, but mate I say go for it. Just grow it as big and as bushy as you want, if at any point to get to the point where you think it is a bit excessive, you can always trim it back down to a size you like! I'm still waiting to find that endpoint for my beard... if it ever comes >:D

Post by: D.A.L.U.I. on October 06, 2012, 07:35:54 PM: I would advise growing big--there are few times in your life that you will feel that it is the right thing to do, that you can do it without any concerns, and even if you do trim it down in the future you will know that for a time when you were relatively young you had a big beard--that memory will serve you well. I speak from my own experience.

Agreed. Do grow your beard bigger. You can always get the barber to trim and shape later on, if necessary.

Think my own barber is starting to sport the beard and bald look. I noticed as I cycled past his shop the other day. I wonder where he got the idea from....

Post by: F77Scot on October 07, 2012, 10:20:08 AM: Thanks slysirharry, the beard is a keeper this time!
Title: Re: So, how big should my beard go.....?
Post by: Cam on October 07, 2012, 10:36:05 AM: Just to concur with everyone else here: bigger is definitely the way to go! Your beard already has nice coverage, so it'll look great the longer/thicker it gets.
Title: Re: So, how big should my beard go.....?
Post by: F77Scot on October 07, 2012, 10:41:02 AM: Thanks Cam, I think it will be a project to grow it till the end of the year and see what it looks like then!
Title: Re: So, how big should my beard go.....?
Post by: F77Scot on October 08, 2012, 11:37:58 AM: So I have made the final decision and the beard is going to grow until Christmas, and I will see how it looks then....

HO HO HO Merry Christmas , If you want to play Santa there is a white spray that you can put on your beard and a Santa Suit and have some fun, I made some money to. I just don't like the kids peeing on my knee ! ;D Then I become Bad Santa , think it is due to age. O:O

Consider keeping your head shaved smooth for that maximum bald and beard look.

Post by: marshd1000 on October 08, 2012, 09:14:54 PM: Having had a big beard and growing a big one again, I would say that you should go for the big beard! Your beard is suited to go big!
Title: Re: So, how big should my beard go.....?
Post by: F77Scot on October 09, 2012, 01:04:06 AM: Thanks for the support marshd1000, I am going to give it a go to at least see if I like it a bit bigger. This is another journey into new territory and it may be that another me emerges in a couple of months!
