How many of you have recently grown a beard?

[ColinJ]

I’m 55 now and I’ve never felt the urge to grow one.

Let's face it, it isn't so much an urge to grow one - that takes care of itself... It is more a case of an urge to avoid growing one!

I miss my winter beards... and miss feeling youthful when finally shaving it off, but i'm far too grey now. I'd look like a tramp... but then again, seeing old photos of me with a beard in my 20 and 30s, i looked like a tramp then too

What's the difference, has his mum got a full beard?

 

[Hover Fly]

Never had the urge to look at least 10 years older than my real age.

If I don't shave every few days my face gets covered in pimples.

My beard is truly biblical. I didn't shave during the Christmas holidays and wondered what it would look like if I just let it grow. And grow and grow and grow. I think there's birds nesting in it now.

I probably could these days if I put a bit of effort into it

I did the same but bottled it before I went back to work and cut it off. I decided to give it another go and am nearly three weeks into a beard. We'll see where it goes. The other half doesn't like it too much but said I need some hair on my face to even out the losses up top

I started growing my beard again at the end of last September, it's now get quite magnificent.

Overheard in the school corridor between two year 9 boys as they walk past a particularly beardy teacher.
“Have you seen that beard?“
“He’s always had a beard“
“Yes but it didn’t used to be that massive. You could play hide and seek in there“
“I‘d find you easily though cos if you hid in there you’d make him fall over“

I never had a beard. I'm 61 now and I only had to shave maybe every other day. At Xmas I used to get lazy and let it grow for a week or more but my facial hair looked more akin to a burst sofa, just a mess.
I'm slightly jealous of those that can but shaving has never been a regular necessity in my life, I guess it has its advantages

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

This is the first winter for 6 (?) years I've not grown one
I usually have one, of varying lengths; from neatly trimmed Goatee, to full on Tramp, from my birthday to daughters (6 months)

No. It’s to early for birds to be nesting.Dont forget the same rule applies to beards as to hedges.No cutting in the nesting season’.

 

[pawl]

Had mine since 2000.Do you have to trim them?Thats why I keep tripping over.
