Figured I'd turn a few weeks of scruff into something, not sure I'm loving the result. Other than being lazy, I've not done any sort of facial hair art before, so I may let it go a few more weeks and see what becomes of it.

I can get away with every other day shaves, so it's slower coming in than most and it seems pretty uniform. Once I get tired of it, I may try the goatee then the highway trooper stache before it all goes away.

Any of you all the bearded type and got advice?

 

I started growing mine when I left MA for CA in 1980. By the time I got to Los Angeles it was pretty much grown out - of course, before that I was shaving twice a day sometimes.

I had it since then. It doesn't bother me at all. I do still have to touch up the edges daily when I go to the office. Otherwise, hair would grow up to my eyeballs.

 

When my son started shaving, he had to learn watching his sister shave her legs. I don't even own a razor. I can offer no advice to someone since I've never not had one.

 

I use to have a mustache/goatee but I cut it off because it keeps getting caught onto my zippered turtle neck. I use a mustache/beard trimmer to shave my face once a week. My skin is very sensitive if I use a razor.

 

I usually have a very long goatee but this winter i grew a beard and found out that sparks will burn it lol. I looked like a bum so i went back to just a goatee and now look like a roadie for the band anthrax lol .

 

I sport a mustache but otherwise clean shaven.

 

I get annoyed by my beard (have one now) it takes me 3-4 days and its full on beard. The scratchy feel persists with me for some reason?


I'll get rid of it soon, just handy now that I have a cold and am moving slower in the morning.

Couple years ago I swore I would not shave till I got my wife's V8 Volvo project running.
I ended up having a beard for a year.

 

Beard oil


git you some

 

Or...

Just lie on your back under the car for a while.

 

I had a beard and mustache for about 30 years. Finally shaved the beard off 5 years ago, it was all gray. Still have the hair lip, its mostly gray.

 

When you get old you may appreciate the beard more as it will cover your turkey neck.
