I can't grow a beard. At all. I tried not shaving for 2 weeks once and all I got was stubble. This whole thread reminds me of this scene from Flight of the Conchords, by the way.
I love beards. I wouldn't be me without one. Love many of the beards posted in this thread. Love the women who love beards in this thread. Spread the word, there aren't enough intelligent ladies like you in this country. Overseas however, they know the difference between a man and a boy. You can see my awesome beard and all its glory right about <---------------------------------here Or in this post about the vacation I'm leaving for today.
Sorry to interrupt but I have to say, skyello, you're a freak. That is one of the most odd things I've seen here to date. For some reason I watched the entire thing. I don't even want to know what that says about me. Whoa. Back to facial hair (dirt for some of you).
Now this is a beard. Somewhere around 5-6 months of length. It was around 3 inches long before I shaved it for the spring/summer.
About a week of growth and the GF demanded I shave because her sensitive skin couldn't handle the strength of my beard. I messed around while shaving and this was my favorite.
Without a beard, I have the kind of chin that makes small children cry and women emulate the Mojave. It's not a good look. I think the last time I was clean shaven was 2002 or 2003. Before I shaved my head (2005), I went for the #2 guard for face and head, and occasionally pruned down to goatee and sideburns, or just sideburns way back in the day. Since I shaved my head - I've had a goatee. I always keep my moustache shaved though. Even when I was doing the full facial scruff thing - I shaved my lip every few days. I grew a Moustache for Movember in 2008 or 2009 and I seriously considered reporting myself to the cops. Women were snatching other people's kids away from me in the street and I couldn't blame them. I dyed my beard a few times. It was blonde at one point - which combined with my shaved head made me look like a giant toddler. I had to stop that shit when I was in a mall food court, and some kid kept pointing at me and repeating 'baby', 'BIG baby!' - the only other option was to kick his ass, and his dad was way the fuck bigger than me.
I miss the beard thread. Get Manly TiB Here is me and the girl last week. NettEdit: removed pic at poster's request.
Full beard, but trimmed short (with scissors). Because hate shaving. Had the beard when I met my wife and over the years she would ask me to shave it all off. Not happening. A few years ago her birthday coincided with her cousin's wedding. So, as a b'day present, I shaved. She was shocked, but after a few minutes had to agree I looked better with than without. Went to the wedding and most said "Oh, you look much younger" and such shit. One of her uncles pulled her aside and asked "Where's Moby? Who's the new guy?" This is the same uncle who blames the Jews for everything. Great guy.
