Galapagos Posted February 19, 2014 Share #1 Posted February 19, 2014 I am growing a beard. It has been 5 weeks since the face kissed the razor. Doesnt look too bad either. I have never grown a beard that you could scare your Mother with. In my younger days I did have an Amish tripping on acid ginger colored thing that encircled my jawline. I looked like someone you did not want your daughter dating. The shaved head did not add luster to the appearence. As I age the beard has spots of salt and pepper and brown now. It looks nice I think. I want to grow it to about a half a ZZ Top. I comb it everyday to train it. I am just letting it go for length now. Any advice from the long beard gang on cutting and forming?

RandyR Posted February 20, 2014 Share #2 Posted February 20, 2014 Just rub some Rogaine in every day. When it gets over a foot long, then tie the edges up in braids, and dye a green steak down the middle for effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazenson Posted February 20, 2014 Share #4 Posted February 20, 2014 I have one but I keep it very short, probably not even called a beard, my buddy has one and he's grown it out to about a foot long. My wife took one look at it and said No way In hell! She has since nicknamed it--- The Anti-Sex Device. But his is all ratty and ruff looking, they can be ok but ya got to keep it groomed hehe just mt 2 cents tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dooder1 Posted February 21, 2014 Share #14 Posted February 21, 2014 I have had one since September of 1977 use to wear it pretty long back in the day but keep it trimmed up nice and neat now............ A razor hasnt touched my face since Nov 3, 1978. Thats the day I got out of the Army. My wife has never seen me with out a beard. Sometimes I let it grow out in the winter but most times I keep it short. I like mine between 1/4 to 1/2 inch long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
