Beard Progress

The beard looks good on you.

I had the same feeling after using beard balm, it was too sticky for me.  I use the products from Blue Beards Original.  Their leave in conditioner makes the beard soft and controllable.  http://www.bluebeardsoriginal.com/

Looks good brother!

Ksshane, you totally rock the bald and bearded look.  How long are you planning on growing you beard?

[EN4CER]

I been growing a beard too.. Had been trimming down tho, but now leaving it to get some length. I bought some beard oil, with lots different oils in it. Unscented too.

Like you, trying to find the correct amount to use, without feel too greasy! 

[ksshane]

Yea, still trying to figure out the perfect amount.   

Here is a updated picture of me and my son while visiting Chinatown San Francisco.   The only trimming I have done since this began is on the mustache.  Couldnt stand getting hair in my mouth every time I ate.

The picture was taken on 7/27/14

Looks great!    Do you shave the top or is that your natural growth line?

[ksshane]

Pretty much my natural growth line.  Other than I get a few oddly placed hairs on each cheek that I keep shaved off.

Outstanding look ksshane, the shades and the nice tan work. How does your son like shaved head?

He seems to like it just fine.  But he is at that age he really doesnt care.    However I found out that my wife really likes it.  The only other time I get that kind of reaction out of her is when I get my lazy but into a gym...lol
So another check mark goes on the ever growing positives for going sly...

Good to hear your wife likes it. My GF loves my shaved head, but she has only seen a photo of me with hair. She thinks I  can look tough sometimes.

You have a good look going there ksshane! Of course I'm partial to a bald head/full beard combo. Those glasses enhance the overall appearance.

Looks nice, your beard has great coverage.

[ksshane]

Last few days have been really tough.   I have been fighting the urge to just trim it all back down.
The side burns just have a mind of their own and are driving me nuts.  I have had to start using hair products to get the sides to stay down some what.  Beard balm doesnt do anything for it.

[slybeard]

Th sides will lay down better with length - a blow dryer may help as well after showering.  I sometimes use a little hair spray on the sides when they get out of control.

[reddog]

I use a blowdryer on my goatee everyday. It would be out of control without it. When visitors use my bathroom, I usually get the question "why do you have a blowdryer?".

IMHO, Shane, I liked your beard when it was shorter, but that is just me.
