Beard appreciation thread


Recommended Posts

Yesterday was a sad sad day for my beard..I found my first gray hair.. :(

I do not want to look "distinguished" before the age of 30..hell, I'd prefer to not have that look before 40.. *sigh*

 

28 as well and I have exactly 1 gray beard hair. I have a patch on my head that sprouts like 20 of them though.

Can't fight time... I just look at it as a consequence of getting older... not good, not bad... just is...

I just use the photobucket app. In the information screen for the photos I upload it has a link you just tap on to copy that already has the img tags added, so all you have to do is post that into tapatalk posts, no adding code.

Beard 2.0 attached

Lost a few weeks worth of growth in the trim, as expected, but the split ends needed to go and it looks/feels much better now.  Only other changes to the beard were the sideburns, shown here, which we faded in a bit to match up with the new haircut more.  Now I just need to find a proper pomade for the hair..already got a proper wax and balm for the beard.

Let me know if the image displays..I had to link it through FB after some uploading issues.

That's a solid beard. My wife starts getting on my case when it gets that long, recently whacked it back. I need to learn how to groom it to look really nice.

Life is funny, y'all. I'll tell you why: five years ago, I was appalled at the idea of being attracted to anyone with even a single hair on his face.

 

I now prefer a nice, trim beard on a man 9 times out of 10.

 

I am continually astonished at how often my preferences change.

No one can resist it... :-)

I told my wife I would be growing a jedi beard when I get out of the military. Her reaction was mostly indifference. I think she is reserving judgment until she sees it. She'll have to wait three more years. Given how much my annual March mustache has improved over the years I am optimistic. Also, given that I have never seen my dad's chin, I'd say the beard gene runs in the family.

I don't have a beard, but enjoy the appreciation thereof. 

 

This may already have been covered elsewhere in the thread, but can I just draw your attention to the lyrical stylings of a band I recently happened upon on YouTube - "The Beards" - all too often I find myself singing "Got Me a Beard" out loud in the office. 

 

Totally worth a wee YouTube search - time well spent for contributors to this thread!! :) 

 

If you haven't already come across them, You're welcome.

I feel like that haircut has increased the power of my beard in regards to how females perceive me.. :D

On a different note, I added some new products to my beard care line up recently.  I picked up a stronger beard balm (it feels fantastic) and have begun trying out beard wax for shaping it.  So far, I like the results although my beard is a tad too long for the wax I am using..need something stronger..but it still gives it a better shape and more shine.
