I like beards and always wished I could grow a decent one. I'm 37 now and every year I gain a few new whiskers, but not enough to fashion a smart-looking beard. I have never let it grow for a month or more as I've seen some of the guys here doing. It's amazing how full some splotchy beards look after that many weeks. That got me curious about what my beard might look like after a couple of months of not shaving. I can go no more than a week before I can't stand to look in the mirror...and I break down and shave!
Some of your stories have inspired me and now I'm wondering. Here's a few pics of me with 3 days growth, minus the goatee thing.
Patches on the left side and week connectors.
Mustache on my right has a brand new bald spot. Just noticed it last week. Doctor says it will grow back in a few months. It's never happened before.
WTF?!
Right sideburn is basically missing. Looks a little better after a week but not much. Left sideburn is narrow but normal.
Appreciate your thoughts.
