Epic Beard 2012/2013

[marshd1000]

Well, here is my beard at 2 days shy of 7 months old.  Plus, I did not fluff it up this time.  But even with that, you are seeing that it is getting large and bushy in a controlled way so far!  This is the longest I have had my beard in recent years.  I do know this is the longest I had it while sly.  But the way I am going, I think I might try to let it go for a year!

It's coming along nicely!

Hold off for the yeard.

Lookin good Marsh! I'm a few days away from 5 months myself  You are so close to the yeard now you may as well go for gold!

Looks good Marsh.  I assume you are keeping the mustache trimmed.  Have you thought about a handlebar to go with that massive beard?  Also, it appears very even, do you trim the stray hairs?

Beards are awesome! I am working on a circle beard (goatee with mustache) but too small to post...will post a pic in a few months when it is worthy.

I have only trimmed the sideburns so far.  I have trimmed the mustache a little so I don't chew it.  But while I have thought of the handlebar, I don't want to add extra work to get ready in the morning!

As I write this,  I am at about a day shy of having a 8 month beard.  I am really liking my beard now.  I am actually liking the white in it.  I wouldn't mind if it would go totally white.  I love the texture.  It is a bit wiry but growing somewhat controlled.  I think it looks great with the bald dome. I am extremely tempted to keep it at least as long as I currently have it.  But I am thinking that I want to try to go untrimmed until Christmas.  If I had been able to do this years ago, I would have.  I am also starting to get positive comments about it.  I was at a wedding a week ago and two different beardless younger guys told me I had a awesome beard.  Plus tonight I was entering a store while on the cellphone and saw a guy with a awesome beard.  I am guessing the guy was in his late 50's to early 60's and had what I think was at least a almost terminal white beard.  If I had not been on the phone, I would have given him a compliment.  But he nodded at me as I passed.  He was also MPB and would have rocked the sly look well!  Anyway, here is my most recent photo!

Again still looking great!

I am also kind of thinking that I am looking more like Dr Weil.  I would love to have a picture with him!  Now if we could get him to shave off the fringe!

I like the shaping in that black and white picture.  That's a great beard!

That is great news Marsh, congrats on making it to the 8 month mark! I can't wait to see what you'll look like if you last until christmas 

I'm a day away from my 6 months of having a full beard myself!

Really want to try for an epic beard but scared to commit. Have thought about it a few times since I joined, the most I have managed is 4 months....see attached....perhaps time to go for it!

I wouldn't mind if it would go totally white.  

Eventually it will.     Keep going, it would be a shame not to see it through after having invested so much time in it.  You'll regret it if you don't.

Good Lord, F77 that is filling out. Keep going.

On Friday, I caved in and went to the barber's. He didn't take that much off. Nobody seems to have noticed.
