indeed. given that I've got two weeks out of school I'm going to spend it focusing on growing my beard.

three days growth, and the first thing my mate said to me was "holy crap, what the **** happened to you?". looks like it's gonna be a fun two weeks

You are not a real man unless you sport one of these.

Techmonkey · #3 03-23-2008, 02:15 PM

I accept. 2 weeks, no more, no less, and I shall put that beast in its place. bwahahahahaha.

Dont focus too hard on growing the beard... it's gonna grow either way unless you shave it! Have fun!!

I've been growing out the chinstrap for almost 3 months now. It's pretty long.

I've gone a month without shaving, I have quite a decent beard growing. Going to let it grow another week and then I'm going to start to shape it.

Quite a project...what do you do for an encore?

I have been growing my beard since January, although I did trim it once.

I've found that I look WAY too much like the Taliban if I don't keep my beard trimmed. However, as my hair gets longer and I guage my ears up, I've been able to let the ol' beard grow a little longer before people start calling the Dep of Homeland Security everywhere I go.

I had the nickname "fedel" for a while. That was when I decided to trim it.

i get called santa clause every winter because i let my beard grow to insulate my face.

James Hart · #13 03-23-2008, 09:02 PM

I've had some sort of beard for the last 20 or so years....

the last 6 or 8 months I've been sporting a 'mini beard' of sorts, not sure the real name for the cut.

back in Oct

3 weeks ago

it keeps my beard and hair separate for when I shave my head.

mimaz · #14 03-23-2008, 09:05 PM

I (almost) always have something going........usually the goat, or at least a 'stache. Been awhile for a full beard. BUT, it's Easter, and EVERY Easter I go to complete clean shave.......if only for a day........we'll see what happens next starting tomorrow!

Ben Lesser · #15 03-23-2008, 09:07 PM

I've been growing my beard on and off since October. I've shaved it completely twice, but for the most part, I just trim it every now and then.

I want to be able to grow a nice full beard, but it looks like it isn't in the family genetics... my dad and his brothers have never been able to do the full beard, and they keep telling me to give up, lol... but I am trying!

this is a little less than a month I think... I trimmed it a little on the bottom a few days ago, but I should probably trim a little more

edit: I'm hoping that by growing this out a few times it will come in thicker.

You need more testosterone.

Nah, I think you'll just be one of those guys who can never grow a beard!

No pics no beard!

casualmadness · #20 03-24-2008, 09:20 AM

I had a really thick and long beard for a long time. One of my co-workers said that I looked like a refugee. I finally shaved it and sported a goatee for a while. But now I've decided I miss the taliban look so I"m growing it back out. Girlfriend says she's fine with it...we'll see how long she can last against the mighty beard of destruction.
