Beard Friendly Posts: 10 (08/17/07 19:03:21) More My Recent Posts	Tags : None Remove this ad Hey all. I'm 18 going on 19. I've been shaving since I was about 13/14, thing is it's always only been on the upper lip. In the past 2 years some thin sideburns have been creeping down my face, and in the last year facial hair has sprouted on my chin and neck. I'd really like a beard, and I believe with time I could achieve it. The thing that stops me from sticking to it is the density and speed at which my moustache grows. I'm all for beards, but I'm not keen on looking like a long haired, glass-less Ned Flanders, which resembles my appearance as about two weeks growth (with the rest of my facial hair lagging far, far behind). Something I've noticed is most people I know that grow facial hair are the reverse of me. They all have scraggly moustaches, and impressive chins. I find it very strange that so few people I've met reflect my body's preference of hair growth. Anyway, I'm just asking for information/tips/advice and critique on my situation. Thanks.

Beard Regular Posts: 148 (08/17/07 21:15:32) More My Recent Posts	Welcome to the board It is very common for some areas of the beard to be more developed than others at your age. Some guys start with lots of neck growth, others sideburns, some get goatees and some get mustaches. Then there are those who get a sparse patchy beard everywhere and those that get it all by the time they leave their teens. If you believe that you could achieve a beard over time but are afraid that the mustache advances too fast for the rest of the growth then you can simply trim the mustache regularly to match the rest of the growth as closely as possible. Posting photos would help us see exactly what you have to work with and thus better analyze your situation too.

You have a famous precedent in having an early moustache. The author Rudyard Kipling had an impressive moustache from the age of 12. wulff

It would add character. Though in my opinion, I think you should just go wild with the 'stache perhaps, and let it grow long...Hmm...just experiment with it for a while, and perhaps add a little bit of hair on some other areas. Maybe you would be surprised with what you can really grow after a 6 weeks. Beards in olden times, were the emblems of wisdom and piety. -Thomas Babington Macaulay There's no wrong way to sport a beard, just like there's no wrong way to eat a Reece's. -Danko

Though I think I'm going to have my chin as a 2 month project to see how it grows, while keeping my upper lip in check. Just for the record, I'm rarely clean shaven - I prefer a 5 O'clock. I find if you shave the night before, you can wake up with the 5 O'clock - success.
