You have awesome beard sir!
Thank you, Sergey. Someday my moustache may grow up to be as disciplined as yours. One can always hope.

Very nice, Triibeard! I just measured in at about 5 inches, depending on the angle. I think my beard is about square now in front, as long as it is wide. I'm looking forward to the benefit of another inch or so to make the length more impactful, like your beard. 
Kenny, your beard is looking great as it lengthens. As I said in your thread, I really like the natural colors coming in.

So you are at 85 square inches now. That is impressive, Sheriff. So is the tape measure touching your chin. Sounds like a new forum can be created and debated amongst the staff? Categorize by area instead of length. Lol. 

Congrats on your Nevada beard contest. Looks like you had lots of fun.
Hello, Erik! Great to see you here. No jesting!            

The tape measure was at about shoulder height, not touching my jawline. I think an elliptical calculation (pi*4.25*5 = 66.76 square inches) would approximate my beard area better than a rectangular one. If we added a measurement for thickness front-to-back, then a 3D volume calculation could be made. Wow! Tom E would literally put us in the shade on that one!               

The Nevada Day Beard Contest was a great deal of fun, and it would have been a lot more fun to have shared it with you there too. Maybe you can enter with me next year. (LEGO-Triibeard is still trying to get over not going.)
