Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and I am looking forward to the fellowship and support that you have shown to others. I'll start with a little history about my beard. I am fortunate to have a nice full beard. Like many people, there are a few parts I would enhance if I could but I am defiantly not complaining. I started shaving regularly when I was a senior in high school and I even wore a sparse "full beard" for a couple of months back then. I have from time to time started growing my beard but then I always end up shaving it off after 2-4 weeks. Sometimes it was because I did not like the way it looked on my face. It turns out that I was bringing the neckline up too high but I didn't know that is why it looked funny. Thanks to a barber that shaped my last beard attempt, I now have a neckline style that fits me better. The last 4 or 5 times that I have tried to grow my beard, I have shaved it because of pressure from my wife. She truly hates facial hair. I don't really know why but she just does not like it at all. When I started growing it this time, she protested and I told her "Don't worry, I never seem to keep it long anyway" and she has not been giving me the negative comments that I have gotten in the past. But I'm sure she won't remain quiet forever. My goal is to grow my beard for at least 2 months so I can see the beard potential I truly have. I am hoping that this forum will help me stay strong for the next 2 months.
I have not shaved for 7 days now and I will post a picture as soon as I can.
..looking forward to future updates
