Been a while, need motivation

feeds@yuku.com (dcpupdb) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 22:39:11 GMT

Hey all, I've been growing the beard back and wanted to give updates and I'm reaching that point that I'd like to grow it longer but seriously need some motivation, especially during the upcoming weeks when I'll see family, be at parties, etc. Help me out

Here's how I look after about 2 months (I think). Do you see length? Think it will grow longer, how will it look?

New to Beards

None

Hello everyone! I'm only just 20, and I'm not totally new to the board, been glancing around it for a little bit and thought I should give it a shot. I've not been letting my facial hair grow long, since I caved towards the end of my Thanksgiving break(I thought the whole shaving-to-make-it-grow-thicker/faster thing would work). What little I have now is a result of not shaving from Fri. 27th up to today, about 4 days growth....

Spectacular beards out there

feeds@yuku.com (randy) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:52:10 GMT

Had an interesting experience this morning that I thought I'd share here. I was in a shop when another gray bearded man came in. His beard was about six inches long and I could tell he wore it proudly. I sauntered over and said "I can't help but comment on your beard. It is the kind of beard I would like to have someday". He said he had been growing since 1979, and had not been clean-shaven since then. He said the length varies between 6-12 inches and...

FLbeard is Back

feeds@yuku.com (FLbeard) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 14:17:06 GMT

Some of you guys may remember me. I started posting on the board early this year during the first growing of my beard. Well, I shaved the beard off after about 7 months in late June or early July after a trimming mishap. I have been wanting to grow it back since then and finally started on November 10. Well it is 3 weeks today and so far I am pretty happy. I may not be remembering correctly, but it seems like it is growing in faster and thicker than last time. I can say for certain that...

my bearded brethren

feeds@yuku.com (chuen) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 05:10:21 GMT

greetings all, great to find others who can appreciate great facial hair.

i am 34 years old and grew my first goatee and sideburns around the age of 18. i have rarely been clean shaven since then. currently, i am rocking friendly mutton chops that i have been growing for about 7 months that are truly one of a kind. i will take and upload a pic tomorrow, but in the meantime a little history...

late 90s when i was in my early 20s...

New beard

feeds@yuku.com (libtchr) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 22:08:55 GMT

I've had goatees off and on for the past ten years but have never grown a full beard. Decided to try over the Thanksgiving holiday; survived the family gathering with no comments, survived church with no comments, tomorrow I face my students - guaranteed to make comments! lol

Here's a pic at 6 days (where did the grey come from? must be the lighting!)

similar growth (pics)

I am a few weeks into this journey of mine. It's tough because I am getting slammed with tons of negative comments and toxic crap from brainwashed drones. You wouldn't believe some of the horrible crap that's been said to me. But I'll endure. Because I have promised myself that I will not touch my head hair or facial hair for one whole year. Even if I shave it all off at the exact 1 year marked, which will be November 17th 2010. Do I enjoy experimenting with my nature-given...

Facial hair texture

feeds@yuku.com (briandote) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 21:42:21 GMT

How does the texture (curly, straight, wavy, etc.) of your facial hair compare with your head hair? I've been finding that my sideburns like to curl when they get longer, but my head hair remains straight. I'm growing my hair out longer, so I'll see if it ends up wavy, but I just never thought facial would be that much different from head hair. Has anyone else noticed this?

A New Look

feeds@yuku.com (CharlieOneHorse) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 12:31:39 GMT

Did a little trimming this morning.......took off I know must have been an inch and raised the neckline some....I also noticed that age and sagging chin lines you just can't match the sides of the neckline..........What do ya think...?

Overheard on the Street

feeds@yuku.com (wulffpaul) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 09:14:58 GMT

When on my way to the local supermarket yesterday a very tall and somewhat sparsely bearded guy came walking towards me, and I heard him say to his clean-shaven companion, "When he grows a beard, a man truly becomes a man". A sentiment with which I think that many, although perhaps not all, on this board would agree.

20 and bearded!

feeds@yuku.com (Israsvensk) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 06:39:33 GMT

Hey all.
I've been lurking around the forum for almost 2 years without actually posting anything.
I'm 20 years old and bearded for almost 4 years now. Tell me what you think.
I'm having little issues with my goatee area though, I want it much fuller and denser, especially the moustache which is now pretty thin.
I wonder if I'll ever get a fuller stache, something like this:

not much improvement

feeds@yuku.com (thatonedude) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 23:39:00 GMT

It has been awhile since i've last posted here. Those who have talked to me in the past, I no longer work with the food industry but the company I work for is strict about being clean cut and looking professional. I shave every 3-5 days or until they send me home to shave. Old photos are about 10 months old. I'm 20 by the way.

Question about neck line

feeds@yuku.com (iamed) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 22:05:47 GMT

What if you never cut in a neck line. Is that fine or does it look completely like crap? I assume if you let it go long enough, you would never know the difference. I have never kept my beard long enough to check this theory out. But trimming my neckline has always been my downfall. I take it up a little, then a little more, then I'm trimming my cheeks, then I'm worrying about it too much and I cut the whole damn thing off. I just have to leave it alone.

I registered a while ago, but today I've decided to post some pics.
I don't really know when I shaved the last time, but I guess it's about 2-3 weeks ago...

don't mind me, I'm tired and I need a haircut ...

New to the board. And second attempt to goattee.

feeds@yuku.com (cedricv87) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 16:07:06 GMT

Hello all!
I'm new to this forum and heard it from a friend, that there are some people in here that really could give some good advice! I'm 22 years old and i live in Belgium!
So here is my extremely short story. I've tried to grow a full beard first without the stache, which didn't go well, i probably gave up to early, so now i'm going for a goattee. Tho i don't know what to do, should i just let it grow and grow or is it hopeless with my kind of grow?...

am I wasting my time??

feeds@yuku.com (papasin) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 14:11:14 GMT

hello everyone, All the beards here look great!! I wanted a beard for a long time now and I decided to give it a try. I'm not sure if I'm setting myself up for disappointment or a crappy looking beard. Please be as honest as you can.

Starting my beard evolution

feeds@yuku.com (gromme) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 13:03:53 GMT

Hey guys,

I'm new here since today.
Well, short introduction.
I am 26 years old and live in Belgium. And I work for an Ice-cream company.
Mostly I have like... a short shaven beard... like not a beard but just growth after having....nothing.
Now I'm just letting it grow.

My current look

feeds@yuku.com (beardwarrior) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 00:26:03 GMT

Hey everyone. Not too big of an update, but just felt like posting what I'm currently sporting. It's not perfect, but I'm still planning on leaving it for another few weeks, maybe a month or more and let it gain even more length. I trimmed my mustache and soul patch to more evenly match the density of the rest of my facial hair lol.

The thing that's surprising me is that much more people are starting to comment on it positively, which made me really happy, and these...

Two weeks in... and uncertain

feeds@yuku.com (Russell Nash) — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 17:49:01 GMT

Hi guys,

Been enjoying this board, finding a lot of interesting reading, so thought I'd share my efforts to try and grow a beard.

I don't have dense facial growth, particulary at the sides, but what is there seems to grow quite quickly. After one week's growing I was getting quite nice compliments, and references to it being 'a beard', even at that stage (although how much is kindness and politeness, I don't know... beard growing can make you...
