@dirtysoil thank you my friend, I've enjoyed catching up on your journey. I used to be very conscious of the colour but now I have a confidence that only a beard can give you

@huddle cheers for the support, glad to hear you think I've done a good job with the maintenance. I've had a shaved head for as long as I can remember and kept a clean face prior to the beard so never really knew how striking the contrast actually is, but I must say that I'm rather enjoying it! Also I appreciate the luck, I have been aiming to become a bank manager before I turned 30, and as I turned 26 in July and am being put through all my relevant training, it looks like it will happen early next year.

@preacherman, @olybeard & @usclassic thanks guys, will keep you posted on progress.

“There are two kinds of people in this world that go around beardless—boys and women—and I am neither one.”
