Robbeard, Wow! I don't know if I have the diligence to reach the magnificent length of your beard, but I do agree it seems easier at this time in my life. It is a new season for me. A larger beard for me will conceal the underbite I've had since young adulthood, so I'm going more for fullness around my face than length down my neck. I've been attempting to "train" the moustache by frequent strokes to the sides with a small brush. Does that actually work, or does shape training depend mostly on the application of adhesives? I tried waxing it thirty years ago, but it seemed to require more fussiness than I cared for. Do you or any other reader have a favorite beard product you can recommend?
