Here is an honest opinion of my beard. It would be interesting to see how you guys think of
your beards. None of the platatudes that we see floating around. None of these simple minded
phrases like nice beard, or grow that beast or the usual blah, blah, blah. This would be the view
you have of your beard when you are alone with your thoughts. I will start off. This is how Keith/
abn82 views his beard.
I have absolutely no neck beard and likewise I have a natural cheek line. I have not shaved one
single hair anywhere on my face for close to one year, yet my cheek line and neck line look like they
are being maintained. Up close there are a about a dozen or so random hairs above my cheek lines.
The same holds for my neckline. My sides are sparse. I have roughly 15 months of growth and I
still have see through sides. My side hairs grow well, except they have no bluk. My side hairs are
around 4 or 5 inches long. They grow almost like head hair, just somewhat thicker. My mustache is
fair at best. It does cover my upper lip. It has long ago reached its terminus. My chin beard is the
strongest part of my beard. I have long curly/wiry hair. I would say that part of my beard is around
4 1/2 inches long. It is 7-8 inches long when the chin hairs are gently pulled down. Under my lower
lip I have those two barren spots on eitherside of my soul patch. I think I have enough in that area,
along with my mustache to have a decent full beard from the front profile. I have grown enough on
the sides where it looks ok, but certainly not a head turner.
So what do you my fellow beard growers think of your beard?
